Good news Hawks fans, Versteeg is out. But who takes his place?

It's not Morin.
It's not Regin.
It's Sheldon Brookbank!

Because the key to the Hawks success the past few years is to put as many dumb and slow players on the ice as possible.

e: Our third line is Sharp-Handzus-Brookbank, I'm sure LA will have trouble figuring that combination out

Yep, I'm looking at SHeldon Brookbank play third line wing for the Hawks tonight in an elimination game. Sigh.

The strategy is to just give Kane extra shifts, but extra shifts with Handzus won't do anything for Kane or that line given how he's played with the Slovakian traffic cone all year

Look at all the good chances the Kings get with Bollig on the ice, he's doing his best to repeat the -2, sub-20 CF% performance he had in game 5. That's the kind of consistency coaches love!

Why does Q hate Versteeg so much? Why does he like Brookbank at all?

He doesn't hate Versteeg. Versteeg only has gotten as much time as he has because he's one of Q's boys, but his performance was so horrid this past game Q probabaly felt he had no choice. Of course, Bollig and Handzus weren't much better, but Q loves them even more!

e: Better question is why he hates Morin/Regin but I'd rather not think about that right now because I will start sobbing

I'm just hoping the Hawks don't give the Kings a goal after the power play like they have the last few times

I'm not worried about being down 1-0, I'm sure Brookbank will save us

And the Hawks look like a team who have tried to get by playing only 8-9 forwards the past four periods

Patrick Sharp is the worst these playoffs. I would argue that he's not even handsome anymore

You take that back sir :colbert:

Also I hope Shaw didn't just commit another offensive zone penalty
