Series Talk: WCQF: Vegas Golden Knights vs. Chicago Blackhawks. (VGK Win 4-1)

[theslatcher]

I like the Knights in 5. If you watched the Oilers/Hawks series, the Hawks D was almost non existent & Crawford was awful. The vets on the Hawks is the only reason they don't get swept.

Crawford had 1 good period vs Oilers, and people are hard banking on getting that Crow and not the vast majority of their series Crow.

Keys to the game should be to get shots on Crow, & not lay off their dmen. They will make mistakes, a lot of them.

Fun fact: if you go the the Hawks' board there's a guy who says Connor Murphy is as good as Theo

Sounds like we'll go with:

Patches-Bill-Stone
Smith line as per usual
Cousins-Stepho-Tuch
Carrier-Roy-Reavo

for forwards.

The same guys ALL picked Kings over Vegas in 2018. I take their predictions at entertainment value only.

I like this. Look for the 3rd line to inflict some damage. So much speed there. Does anyone else think that Stastny was virtually non-existent in the RR? Like, switch him and Stevenson bad? Just thinking out loud here.

Saving it all for the post season as usual, hopefully.

I liked Roy with Tuch, and Cousins on the 4th line meatgrinder.

Tuch has been avoiding hits like the plague last week. I'd guess due to missing so many games to injury. We have Reaves, we don't need Tuchy crushed on the meat grinder line.

No I mean Roy on the 3rd line with Tuch.

No I mean Roy on the 3rd line with Tuch.

That makes more sense, thanks for clarifying. I read it as those 3 on 4th

It’s on my to do lists

Is Flower hurt? Has he been dressing?

Is Flower hurt? Has he been dressing?

He's alive and well, played against Arizona(exhibiton), & Blues. Lehner simply outplayed him.

 

[Vegan Knight]

I would prefer Tuch on the top two lines. Gotta feel like what does he have to do to get there. Marchessault had the nice penalty shot but Tuch lifted us in the round robin and I think will be one of the top keys to our success.

Stupid question - who is sitting for Pacioretty coming in?
