Morin was great, Benny Smith has been turning a corner this spring, but unfortunately Teuvo rots on the healthy scratch list.... is there no league this kid can be playing in right now?

Yeah I don't get it either. He's a point machine. Q must be worried about his defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Am i way off base in wondering what Saad does so much better than Morin. It feels to me, I could be wrong, but Saad seemed to benefit from playing on a line with elite talent. Doesn't hurt that every teenage girl thinks he is dreamy.

southsider2k5 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Chicago Blackhawks @NHLBlackhawks 6m Coach Q: Oduya is expected to return to the lineup vs. MTL.

I think it's a real possibility the Hawks are close to 100% by next week, Q did a good job resting his 2 star players and I like the benching of Saad since Morin has been stepping it up,providing a much needed spark.

Day to Day means Day to Day in any sport, the only reason it ran through the end of the season was because there were only a few games left and the way the standings look the Hawks won't get much better positioning than where they are currently at.

You don't sit players for weeks on end before the playoffs for "rest." Maybe a game or two at the end, but that's about it. This isn't coach Q being smart. If they were healthy or close to healthy, they'd be playing. They are still playing for home ice advantage, it's not like these games are meaningless on top of it. The guys were both fairly significantly injured, the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Suddenly the Avalanche are only two back of the Blues with three to play and Colorado holds the tiebreaker. Don't book those flights for Denver just yet. Hawks are four back of Colorado without the tiebreaker, so most likely still the 3 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Toews was absolutely necessary he'd be on the ice.but he's not, because the Hawks would rather have both those guys rehab their injuries as much as they can. They are not meaningless games, but not crucial either.So we don't have to agree and to each their own man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to see the Hawks win out the rest of the way, maybe only Nashville being pesty but it'd be nice to see where positions end up by next week.
