Well, Vancouver is starting Roberto Luongo in goal tonight, so I guess they have officially given up. You can't expect the rest of the hockey team to support this move. Luongo was pulled from Games 4 and 5, and benched in Game 6. Now, in the biggest game of the season the coach is gonna turn to this choker again?
Meanwhile, Bryan Bickell underwent wrist surgery yesterday morning, stemming from a Game 2 injury that caused him to miss Game 3. This news makes Bickell's play the last 3 games even more impressive.
But no one has been more impressive these last 3 games, then Dave Bolland. The guy was been all over the ice. Scoring big goals, stopping the Sedin line and leading the team in hits, Bolland has to be the Blackhawks MVP in this series. You can make a case for Crawford as well.
One guy you can't make a case for is Jonathan Toews. I know he is playing better lately, but that goes for everyone on this team. I need the captain to step up and contribute. I know he does things that aren't in the box score, hell I know he is the best all around player on either team . But I also know we need him to score more than 3 assists and no goals in this series. The Blackhawks need him to play the game of his life tonight. My money is on him not disappointing.
