Dano - Toews - Hossa is a good 2nd line. Maybe that's where they should be.

Who are you going to falsely accuse of rape next? I'm so tired of money grab supporters like you. You're a disgusting person.

I really think that's hardly a factor at all,I think the element of size hardly adds another factor at all to the screening. It's far more important to actually be good at moving side to side agilely mirroring to the puck. With most goalies still crouched or in butterfly spots in these scenarios anyways it's not like they are ever seeing over a under 5'10" guy that a 6'3" guy would blot out. Holmstrom was one of the greatest at it and he was no bigger than 6-ft and he helped teach guys like Kopecky & Fransson to know how to do it and yeah, even a marginal Kopecky was good at it and did it a lot for the PP on the hawks that was 2nd overall most of that 2010-11 season.
He just had another screen caused goal vs Edmonton too that goes on his belt but it's not like it gets noted in any stat line to really take in as a point. It's far more than being a body, that's why John Scott to do it was a 100% dumb idea, Chara can do it because he knows how to block bodies out like he did on D and he has excellent stick skills to go along with it.

They need to get more out of the 3/4 th lines as well as the Toews/Hoss line. 4th line hasn't had a goal all season according to Edzo last night.

That was nice of Kane to give a poverty point to Toews.
Man, Toews blows. At least his bank account has a lot of zeros in it. What a loser.

Keith is back, so he works pretty much like the cattle driver.

I'm starting to want to see them broken up for a stretch, just to see. Kane is playing other worldly and we don't know if they could actually be hindering each other some what.
I'm not against trying either on the first line and seeing if the one left can lead the second line with AA and a complimentary fit.

I think width is a factor but would agree height is not. Buff would be better, Bickell did his thing.
So Baun is busting in rockford huh?
I'll dial back on the Shaw hate, his quickness and tenacity are special in that area. Perhaps it will keep working some.
Tazer looks close to finding himself, he is getting chances and just not placing the puck with his usual efficiency. He seems to be adjusting the sights, but some big games are close.
I wasn't a fan of the beating Hossa took against the Devils.
