we barely scraped by an injured Nashville team that was missing Fisher for half the series, and Weber for almost the entire round.


Chicago needs to get their shit together quick.

If you look closely during a Bulls game you can still see the hockey boards up around the court. They're always there.

Potentially big news out of practice this morning: Teuvo in a black sweater, Versteeg in white.

That could mean Teuvo goes back into the lineup and Versteeg goes out.

I would be ok with this.... Versteeg has played like shit for most of the post season thus far.

I do think if Teuvo is in he needs to be on a top line, not trying to play the grinder game on line 4.

Would love to see what a Teuvo - Toews - Hossa line could do together and behind them a Saad - Sharp - Kane line

Per Lazerus on Twitter, here are the lines:

Saad-Toews-Hossa
Bickell-Richards-Kane
Sharp-Vermette-Teravainen
Desjardins-Kruger-Shaw

LOVE these lines.

Having someone in Teuvo who can get the puck to a gifted shooter like Sharp could really get that third line going.

Bickell on the second line should help create some space for Richards and Kane to work, too.

Is this some sort of veild ban threat? "Village" "BB" "Despbro?"

Not sure why asking questions and seeking knowledge makes me bannable all of a sudden. The guys you mention usually act like they know everything, i'm just trying to learn more about hockey and stuff.

I feel like we are back on nintendo world hockey. Bickel(fat guy) and Kane(skinny guy) and Richards (medium guy) = success. A little of everything on each line. Tuevo assist to Sharp goal would be a cool development to start seeing with frequency. Vermette can win those faceoffs and they can attack.

Hopefully Crawford can recover from his Jekyll/Hyde complex and has a clear mind in this series. Otherwise, it will be ugly like the last series was.

Who do you think is better at PK? Crawford or Darling?

I hope Crawford can channel what he did against the Wild in the playoffs last season. Damn near single-handedly won that series.

Don't think this will surprise anyone, but Crawford starts Game 1 per everyone on Twitter just now.

So theoretically they wouldn't be at the UC at the same time right?
Click to expand...

Correct. Games 1 and 2 for the Hawks would either be Thursday+Saturday or Friday+Sunday at the UC. It all depends on the results of the Red Wings-Lightning series so the NHL can release the dates.

The Bulls wouldn't be here til the middle of next week while we're in Minnesota.

Regardless of what happens, the NFL will conflict with the Hawks regardless if the game turns out to be on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday due to the Draft being a 3-day event.

There's also Las Vegas who may also want games earlier that day due to the Pacquiao/Mayweather fight as well that very Saturday night. We never know, but money does spur the industry, does it not?

To the effect of both reasons alone, don't be surprised if NBC tries to make Game 2 an early game Saturday to avoid the conflict.

I'm personally hoping for a Friday-Sunday schedule because I'll be at the Bears Draft Party on Thursday Night...

Fan of those lines as well. Glad to see Teuvo with Sharp. Bigfoot normally has good games against the Wild, so good to see him with Kane and Richards.

Yes, but no one really cares about days 2 and 3... and 3 for sure.
