also "The Blackhawks are playing Bramdon Bollig in place of former UVM standout Victor Stalberg for Game 1, a clear indication Chicago felt like they needed a bit more toughness in their lineup against the Bruins."

Questionable decision by Quennevile, playing with the lines again...Bruins have shown time and time again that they struggle vs speed, what does Q do? Take out the fastest player on the team...Hawks have to play their own game, you are not going to match the Bruins grit/physical game, toughness is not by dropping the gloves or retaliating with hits right away, its taking the hits and giving them back in a timely manner, which is exactly what they did vs the Kings.
We were in a 3-1 hole vs the wings mainly because of Q playing around with the lines and taking out Stalberg...I don't like the decision one bit, I just hope Bollig comes up big in his own way and it doesn't affect the team as much.

"looks like forward Viktor Stalberg is headed back to the bench with bulky winger Brandon Bollig returning to the lineup. The moves center around three aspects -- a newly increased role for Dave Bolland, the Bruins' propensity to run over the opposition as much as go around them and keeping all-world Bruins’ defenseman Zdeno Chara away from either PatrickKane OR Jonathan Toews."

THAT is exactly what I was thinking
BUT maybe a smart move to split Toews and Kane so that Claude Julien can't matchup Chara against them. will see how it works out. Coach Q can always adjust IF it's not working.

I like the moves to split Toews and Kane, even though they have serious chemistry with each other, I think you are better off spreading the wealth vs a team like the Bruins who rely on one defenseman so much to shut down other teams key players.
Q does adjust well but sometimes too late, this is the Stanley cup finals, one mistake will be enough against a very good team like the Bruins to blow it...hope I m wrong and it works out (or at the worst, if it doesn't work, he brings stalberg back next game).

Chris Rooney is a big time over guy. 23-14 to the over with him in the game.
Brad Watson is a big time under guy. 14-21 to the under with him.
Something else about Watson is he is a visiting teams dream. Watson ranks dead last with the refs in being an "away" ref. The home team is 11-31 ATS when he refs a game.
