Boqvist out, Carlsson in, per NBC Sports Chicago.

Patch out for VGK.

I think they said the pairs were:

Keith - deHaan
Matta- KK
Murphy - Carlsson

And yes, that’s the order they were listed.

So, will Boqvist be the 2nd young defenseman JC runs out of town?

?? At least half the board agrees with this decision.

That OR convert on the PP.....

Man what a job Torts is doing in Columbus. Lose Bob, Panarin, Duchene, and they oust the leafs and they are giving Tampa another poop sandwich.

Guy maximizes the effort of his teams. Give him that.
- SteveRain

Right? For a long while I really disliked Torts - thought his press briefings were childish/arrogant. But over the years, he’s toned that down and his coaching performances have risen. After last year against TBY, I’m now a Torts fans.

Whatever decision JC makes will be wrong. Hawks have zero chance to beat Vegas in a 7 game series. Why not give both Carlsson & Boqvist playoff experience, and launch KK to the press box. He’s not part of the future.

Nylander should have joined him.

So glad it's Carlsson in for Boqvist rather than Seeler. Carlsson can play just as physical and is the better all-around defender.

Not to mention the future blueline should feature Boqvist and Carlsson. They need the playoff reps to see what it takes.

Seeler isn't in the Hawks future but break the glass to insert him later if injuries emerge in the series.

Won't hurt for Boqvist to learn perched in the press box. And who's to say Boqvist is benched beyond this one game.

Is there another Nylander brother out there that can be traded for?

I don't get why they are playing the Canadian anthem when both teams are American?

Hmmm... maybe it has to do with what city they’re in...?

The Host city is in Canada....

I don’t get why they play the Star Spangled Banner at a rink in Canada, when the majority of players and coaches on each team aren’t from the US.

But then - I don’t know why they do the anthems before every game in any case.

Wtf is Nylander doing out on the ice

Benching Boqvist is dumb

Whitecloud thought he was going to lay Dach out... it’s not so easy.

Dach is a beast. Get off me Whitecloud.

VGK haven't have the puck too much so far, but everything is quickly thrown into the blue paint and dangerous....

You got it. I think also maybe not worth getting Boqvist hammered too much considering how physical Vegas can be.

Holy poop they do know how to shoot.

If #92 had a brain he'd be dangerous. Shoot the damn puck

Anybody have this line-up lol?

- BGKarras

Nah... skate it around the net... and then lose possession. That was the better decision.

He is a rookie. His play can be very frustrating but give him sometime.

Duh...ur right what was I thinking

Pathetic defense

sure would be nice to score 1st goal at least once...

VGK scores on their first good #coring attempt. Carlsson abandons the net front, and Murphy doesn’t get there in time.
