'Bout time to put some pucks in the net, isn't it?
LET'S GO HAWKS!
Line combinations from the morning skate are all over the fucking place.
Smith-Toews-Kane
Sharp-Shaw-Hossa
Saad-Richards-Morin
Bickell-Kruger-Versteeg
Not a fan of Smith in the top 6. Could work for a game but not going to be a long term solution. Smith works his butt off out there but he just lacks in the skill, size, etc department which holds him back. In my eyes, Smith is a fringe 3rd liner at best. It is hard not to like the guy because of his work ethic but the rest isn't there.
Just once, I want to see Saad-Toews-Kane together for some signficant time. Throw that trio out there and challenge any defensive pairing in the NHL to slow them down. Any.
That Top 6 is something a large part of the fan base has been clamoring for since Richards was signed.That line could work out. In the past, it seems that Saad works best when he isn't playing with the "stars" of this team - he seems to focus on his game and not worry about dishing the puck (which isn't the best part of his game, but he is still all around pretty damn good). I was never a fan of the Saad/Toews/Hossa line for that reason...and part of it is that Saad is very similar in his game to Toews/Hossa - it just didn't mesh that well. I want to see Saad with Kane though...I think those two can click and play off of eachother well. Was really hoping we would have seen a Saad/Richards/Kane line by now. In a perfect world (with the current roster) I would like to see...
Sharp/Toews/Hossa
Saad/Richards/Kane
Bickell/Shaw/Versteeg (Even though I would really like to see Shaw moved back to wing but Kruger hasn't stepped up yet to take the 3C spot)
Smith/Kruger/Morin
Hey!!
It's the Coach Q line switching game!!! I wonder if he has his own Wheel of Fortune to spin.
You substitute Hawk players for the money values......
Melt you know if they are going with Rundblad or Roz tonight?
