i still have a bad feeling.... if we can get this thread off of this page and on to the next one by the time the puck drops tomorrow night i'll feel much much better about the whole thing.

it's also quite odd that both toews and bergeron are dinged up and questionable/at-best. any updates on their status?

_________________

I'm no doctor, but Bergeron is definitely out. Toews is questionable... he may or may not have a concussion

so if bergeron and toews are out who gets affected more by this loss? both are the hearts and souls of their team, i would think.... and obviously nobody wants to see a series come down to a war of attrition.... but like, is there a distinct advantage to be gained by either side if both of these guys are out?

If Toews is out, who will center the Hawks top line? Q tried Kruger and that didn't go so well, then he used Shaw. Shaw cannot deal with Chara the way Toews can. Q will probably split the lines up again. Wouldn't mind seeing Sharp play some center.

The B's still have their #1 center and will probably move Seguin to one of the center spots.

I'm ready for the obligatory every-5-minutes shot of the Stanley Cup in the shadows, the KotC brushing his megaperm, resplendent in white gloves and tie.

KotC = ??? can someone explain that for me?

and wasn't sharpie drafted as a center from his excellent play there as a yout? methinks that was his original position and therefore he could go back there and carry the day, seeing as the hawks frontline = all over the ice anyways so it's not like it's some radical departure from the norm, save faceoff duties. i swear i heard rosenbloom or rozner or someone with a lastname-nickname of "pucks" say that, so * claps * chop chop let's get to it.

regardless, i really hope the hawks can pull this one out in game 6 cuz whenever you're up 3-2 going into game 6 you fear having the other team get some sort of an emotional win that shifts momentum in their favor heading into game 7. it'd tear the hearts out of hawks fans who paid $1000+/ticket to go to a stanley cup FINAL (get the S out!) game 7 and end up seeing their team lose..... good lord i couldn't imagine dropping a few grand with the idea of having the time of my life only to have it snatched away in the waning minutes and realizing you just spent thousands of dollars on agony that will last a lifetime, or at least til next year if the hawks are able to win a cup in large part thanks to experience garnered on this run.... but since that's not likely to happen (i.e. 1-2 months of extra hockey even in an otherwise shortened season) yeah.....just don't come back to chicago cuz no matter how you lose in game 6, you're always gonna be having a tenuous do-or-die situation with all of the pressure in the world against you: ask the spurs how that goes.

of course, the NHL would LOVE to see a game 7 so you know all of the calls are gonna go boston's way so let's hope that the hawks have one more big awesome team game in them and they risk the coolness of winning the cup in chicago because i reckon short of a few greedy people with tickets for game 7, everyone and their mom, including most of hte people with game 7 tix, would love to get this shit over with tomorrow night. CUE UP THE CHELSEA DAGGER DAMMIT!

Since the guys you listed from the current group have 1 ring, I'm guessing the other guys have multiple rings?

Only players on Stanley Cup twice while wearing the Indian Head. Admittedly the current group has a long way to go yet. But they would be joining a pretty select group!
