That aside, just because The Flyers didn't stink doesn't mean The Hawks still shouldn't beat the tar out of them. But they didn't beat and here's why.
- The lineup made even less sense than the hot mess that Quenneville conjured up for Monday's game in Carolina and that's saying something. Yeah, we all get that Bickell was awful and looked likely to be scratched tonight, but Teravainen being sat down is mysterious. He had been climbing the depth chart, line by line, every few games and apparently practiced with Toews and Saad this morning. Instead, we're treated to Shaw on L1 and Desjardins AND Carcillo in the lineup.
- Yes, fucking Carcillo, who has now played two games in the last month. Hilariously, he played 2½ minutes more than Nordstrom who has been in the lineup consistently and has done nothing particularly wrong.
- Something is wrong with Toews. He doesn't have his usual giddyap and has not been stellar at the dot. What's more is that he is either puzzled an/or annoyed by Q's inane line shuffling.
- Someone has to unplug Rozsival's iron lung tonight. Let the old boy drift off peacefully in his sleep...
