Trailing this series 2-1, tonight would be a real good time some of the Hawks top forwards to emerge from their early playoff slumps and leads this team to a Game 4 victory that would even up the series. Top liners Jonathan Toews, Andrew Ladd and Marian Hossa are all without goals this series and the latter two don't even have a point yet. Patrick Kane? No goals, either. It would seem like a market correction is in order, with the team shooting at just 4.5% in this series after shooting 9.4% in the regular season. Tonight seems like a good night for it.

Time to show these fools why the Hawks are 3 time champs. Time for the first line to show their stuff.

The NHL clearly wants you to be tired at work.

The lines in the OP have been confirmed at the morning skate. We'll see what they do with the D pairings shortly.

Rundblad is probably a little better than Svedberg. But no idea why Ehrhoff and Gustaffson aren't getting more playing time.

Ehroff sux... but I don't get Gus sitting out.... he can be flaky, but pair him with Seabs and he will do fine.

I would do:

Hammer/Keith
Seabs/Gus
TVR/T-Roz

And then double shift Hammer/Keith with TVR when the old man is sucking or tired.... so you can get some shifts of Hammer/TVR or Keith/TVR.

Q seems like he wont break up Keith and Hammer, but TBH.... Keith made Sheldon Brookbank look like he was a top 4 Dman.

I think you could try:

Keith/Gus
Seabs/Hammer
TVR/T-Roz

I predict another Blues win tonight with Runblad coughing up the puck in a board battle that results in Backes firing one home..Q just baffles me when it comes to the playoffs and his lineups..but hey 3 cups

The funny thing about all the bitching about the Hawks D corps (and I'm certainly part of it) is that I think they've largely played well in this series. The problem isn't with the defense. They're just not scoring.
