It should be TT. That 4th line got manhandled in our zone last game..

I see posters pining for TT over Versteeg -that would be a mistake because Versteeg has been better and could have a goal or two with some luck. Some are basing their reasons for the 4th line staying intact because of their play late in the season. That level has not been evident in this series. I would sit Nordstrom and TT for more size and jam -esp with Weber on the sidelines.

I've seen some fair arguments for sitting either Teuvo or Versteeg. Honestly, Q can sit either one and I'd find it to be reasonable.

Vermette scratched both games now. Guessing Hawks fans not thrilled with the way that move worked out either. I personally didn't like what Stan gave up for him, but also thought he'd have a much greater impact by now.

That's unfortunate.

Color me one of the few that didn't think Vermette would have a big impact and wanted no part of him on the Blues.

I think it will be interesting to see if thoughts on the Franson deal shift now that Weber is out.

If you were the Wolves, would you want Utica or Grand Rapids?

And you settled for Jokinen.

Both are tough teams. Honestly, the Mutts might want Grand Rapids over Utica, by the slightest of margins.

Its GOT TO BE ...

Sharp Toews Hossa

Bickell Vermette Kane

Saad Richards Shaw

Desi Kruger TT


Keith Seabs
Hammer Oduya
44 and 26
Rosy -


I say Rosy over #5 because #5 ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS looks awful . At least some times Rosival does something positive.

I really never ever need to see Versteeg in the Indian Head ever again .


Give Darling the start , maybe he'll go on an epic run .

Bad COrey is back . Hopefully that doesnt last too long
- mrpaulish

I'ld be interested to see Bickell up on the second line. Move Saad down, he hasn't been very effective. Not bad, just not good either. I wonder if he's banged up

Fisher not on ice for warmups

And you settled for Jokinen.
- CBHawks88

Considering who we got rid of (Lindstrom), Jokinen was actually an upgrade though I'm not sure the press box cares

Cumiskey taking the warmup

Caps tie it up late in the third. Isles dominated through 2 but could only get 1 on the board which is often a recipe for a loss.

No Nordstrom on ice for warmups

You underestimate the importance of press box depth!

Well Lindstrom was only useful in the shootouts and there aren't any in the playoffs so he'll fit in just fine in Toronto

So does the Hawks game push to NBC Sports? They wouldn't start it late would they?

I doubt they start it late. However, I'm wondering what channel the Hawks/Preds game ends up on since the Isles/Caps game isn't over yet?

Hilarious that TOR had the highest odds for McDavid going into the last # and still lost..

Hawk game will be on NBC for people in the Chicago viewing area. The Caps/Isles game will be moved

Thank you

That was easy...

But it didn't matter at that point...the selection was made earlier.

...and how did you calculate that?...Sabres always had the highest probability.

Boy that was fast. Holtby's 40 saves weren't enough.

Per Chris Johnston (Sportsnet)

After 5-14-6 were picked, the #leafs had the highest chance of getting McDavid heading to last ball: TOR (4x), BUF (3x), EDM (2x) CAR, CBJ.
