'Hawks in 4. **** Anaheim!
Dunno if I posted it here before the series but I definitely did on the hawks forum... The Rozsival injury is going to really hurt this team and I don't think they will win the series with the shallow defense. Rozsival played 18-21 minutes a game while Timonen has averaged 6-8 minutes a game, now you have to play Rundblad another 6-8 minutes a game. So now you basically have 4 defensemen playing way too many minutes and two guys who only play 6-10 minutes and can't really be trusted when they are on the ice. It's just too much for the top 4 and it showed in the first game, it's too much. Hjalmarsson looked like he was going to die out there at one point.
I am a little more optimistic. The 'Hawks could have literally been up 5-1 halfway through the second period. Between some fortuitous bounces of the puck and some insane saves that no goalie can consistently make the Ducks got back in it. That injury to Ros does ******* suck ass, but it is what it is.
The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
Well let me put it this way... if they decide to give more minutes to Timonen and Cumiskey can come in and eat some minutes without coughing the puck up like Runblad does, than yes, the 'hawks can definitely win the series. Otherwise, running on 4 Dmen is not a recipe for success.
I would go as far as to say they should dress 7 defensemen (maybe call up Johns), it's working for Tampa

It's fun to be a 'Hawks fan.
Tell you what - at the 8 minute mark which lasted for several minutes (don't remember if it was the 2nd or 3rd period) before the hawks first scored was some EXCITING hockey. Holy cow there were like 8-10 shots on goal from both teams.
**** the Blackhawks
