little more depth than we saw with anaheim, though lacking pretty badly on the defensive side. should be a great series

You just know that they're going to match up Pahlsson against Datsyuk and Toews against Zetterberg. Should be interesting.

Should we be concerned about Ben Eager's tendency for cheap shots?

Seabrook and Keith are the top 2 D-Men. +23/+33 respectively. Lots of minutes always against the other teams top scorers.

Best unheard of d-combo in the league. Keith not an allstar this year was a travesty.

Barker and Campbell are #'s 3/4 but they don't usually pair up. Sometimes on the PP.

Q mixes lines up a lot. The past 2 games he's had Sharp with Eager and Burish. Brouwers been with Kane and Toews most of the playoffs. Sometimes Havlat double shifts and plays with the two kids.

The most consistent line we've had all year is ladd/bolland/havlat and they have been unbelievable, especially Marty. Bolland has zero name recognition but has also been amazing this season and in the playoffs. He's only in his 2nd real NHL season.

And if Dustin Byfuglien plays ANYTHING like he did against the Nucks you're going to have lots of inner hatred towards him. He was an absolute animal standing in front of the net.

solid team, gonna be a tough one.

yea I've followed dustin this year (along with the other hawks, i really like your team lol) and if could get some lessons from homer over the summer or something he would turn into a huge ******* force and pest

the puck won't be in the Wings' end long enough for Byfuglien to become a factor like he was in the Vancouver series, he won't be even close to as effective as he was in round 2

I hope you are right, but I do believe that this Hawks team has grown up really fast since the All-Star break. They are gonna be much more difficult than I think everyone believes. To be honest, I think they are as tough a matchup as we will face. I think they are tougher than the pens. IMO. Based on what I have seen in the PO's at least. Now, maybe some of that is who they have matched up against (hard to tell), but they definately look much tougher to me.
