The Hawks change this around by getting Handzus the **** outta the top 6. What in the world is Quenneville thinking? He barely stuck on San Jose's 3rd line this season and he has him centering Kane? The Hawks threw a Kane - Kruger - Sharp 2nd line together last season and it rolled over other lines. Meanwhile, Shaw and Rozsival are playing on Chicago's top PP unit while Sharp and Leddy play on the 2nd, at least of what I saw tonight. How's that working out?

It's hilarious to me that two of the biggest favorites this year are having their playoffs derailed thanks to acquiring ******, old players.

Yea he's been making some strange decisions. He put Toews with Kruger and Frolik tonight which is... uh, odd :laugh: Handzus has actually been decent for them but yea hes kind of running out of gas now. Like I said, if there top 6 players don't start putting the puck in the net more then there toast. If Hossa is out for an extended period of time then this series probably ends on Saturday. On the bright side, Bickell might actually be pricing himself back in there range so they can keep him :laugh:

Well I'd have to say part of it is Toews vs Kovy's defensive game, and I'm sure part of it is because he's been matched up against Bergeron. Not that I agree with their Kovy bashing last year, but there is reason to give Toews some slack.

Kovy didn't exactly have it easy either. Bergeron is one of the best defensive forwards in the league, but Kopitar is no slouch.

I think it has more to do with the entrenched perceptions of both players. It's really hard to shake the narrative after it has been set.

"NOT SURE IF CEREAL, SIR."
Am serious Guy! It's no knock on Kovy. It's just that he was so broken down by the finals that you didn't have to be Bergeron to shut him down. He had a perfectly reasonable excuse.

Now if it comes out after the playoffs that Toews had some kind of injury then he gets a pass. I gave Patty and Clarkson a hard time last years playoffs cause they weren't doing a whole lot at times, but it was announced after the playoffs that each had an injury during the entire playoffs. Kinda had a good feeling they were injured though. I don't feel quite the same way about Toews, but it could be possible.

"I'm surrounded by Jaggoffs"

Rather than saying the real thing, as Chicago always wants to be different, they refer to the term as Jaggoffs instead. But funy as hell that it was published in a Chicago paper.

Hawks are in the finals ,,, Handzus has been more good then bad and isn't reason the Hawks are losing finals. How exactly are the Hawks playoffs being derailed due to him?

Do I wish Hawks had acquired something better? Yep
Do I think Handzus for 4th round pick has been bad? Nope

As for changes

Q doesn't play Sharp at C (Hasn't since they won cup ,, We will never know why) so we are stuck with Handzus as only viable #2 C option

Kruger has shown very little every time he has been given chance there and Bolland is a disgrace at this point

As for PP ,, Kompon is total joke of coach and there is nothing the Hawks can do until he is fired

Only reason he was hired is because he is Q's buddy

lol at whoever that was on NBC calling Andrew Shaw a "little ball of hate". Shaw is a good player, but there's only one little ball of hate.

Al Trautwig brutal defense by the Bruins this game, especially on that last goal. It looks like the Flyers with all these odd man breaks and third and fourth chance opportunities.

Off the glass and into the blue paint and in the net.
