I hate Handzus on the second line. Kane and Sharp are attacking the net while he's still huffing through the neutral zone. Second line center has been a weak spot for the Hawks since the cup win. Worst part is, the second line center is STILL ON THE TEAM! Why Sharp isn't 2C baffles and infuriates me. It was good enough to win it all, yet Q would rather experiment with Kane, Bolland, Shaw whoever. Why?

Imo, the lines should be:
Saad Toews Hoss
Stalberg Sharp Kane
Bickell Bolland Shaw
Frolik Kruger Zeus

You can switch Stal out with Hayes or Smith if he's still in the doghouse and Zeus will take faceoffs for Kruger but defend and play the wing.

I absolutely love those lines. The top two are scary good. I too have wondered why we don't see more of Sharp as second-line center.

Why are reporters so stupid sometimes? After the Kings Game 2 win and after taking a puck to the face and receiving 20+ stitches, Anze Kopitar was asked by a reporter in the locker room, "What does it feel like to take a puck to the face?" He kind of rolled his eyes a bit and just said, "Not very good." Great response to an insanely stupid question.

Brutal showing by the Hawks.
They never play well in the noon games.

This. Didn't understand the start time to begin with - the other game that day wasn't even on until that night anyways.

They probably didn't want to compete with the late afternoon bball game. Thats the only thing i could think of.

Can't believe the Pens dropped that one last night. 29 seconds in the third period, damn. They also had so many chance in OT (Dupuis's post shot, Malkin's drive), of course so did the Sens.Have to give it up to the Senators, they really don't quit, and really play with spirit. The loss really makes game 4 a big one for the Penguins.

Agreed, need a lucky bounce or something. Just gotta get one in and hopefully a momentum swing. Going down 2-1 could be disastrous

I don't agree with the NO GOAL.

This series just got really really serous. Looks like a 7 game series.

Agreed, completely changed the game, BUT what are you gonna do? Hopefully the Hawks can crack Jimmy Howard in game 4. If they don't series is over, IMO

Hawks are acting like spoiled kids that aren't getting their way.

But to be fair, Detroit's playing hockey like Belichik coached against the Rams in the Superbowl. They're holding, clutching, and grabbing on every shift and not getting called for it. This is playoff hockey pre-rule changes.

Man, I hate the state of Michigan and every f-ing team in it.

Hey, I feel ya on the no goal, but Franzen got baorded, was a no call, and Kane never would have scored it they called the penalty. Its goes both ways. Game 4 is gonna be ridiculous.

True. I think a no goal call is a little bigger but both were definitely huge. W/o a doubt game 4 will be intense. Sucks we have to wait till Thursday though

I hate waiting... But at least the players get to rest for a few days.
