This is nothing more than a battle between cannon fodder for the next round but in the playoffs the difference is who has the better 3rd and 4th lines. The best players for each team are going to neutralize each other so it comes down to who has better depth. The Hawks’ depth happens to be better than the Oilers. This is also why the Hawks won 3 Cups over the last decade. It was those minutes that the depth players put in that made the difference. I will say Kirby Dach is making a case that he should have been the number 1 pick last draft. Kid is going to be a monster as he puts on muscle and continues to build confidence. Honorable mention to Coach Seabrook for being a positive influence in the Dach’s progression. I have to admit I was thinking when this was over about the Hawks matching up with Colorado. Yikes... Crawford would have to have his best series performance ever, and they still probably wouldn't have enough to win. Kudos to Stan and the scouting crew for Kirby Dach as of this sitting. Not taking the defenseman looks like the right call through season 1. |

Hawks have last change in game 4 too, right? Time to end it. TSN execs need emergency oxygen with "the Greatest Player in Any Sport" facing elimination. Crosby or McDavid? |

Not sure it matters who wins this series, neither would get past Avs...Oil really suck on D..Corky? ugh again....Dach really looking more confident every game.

If the Hawks win this series, Sportsnet and TSN will immediately (after a short bit of excuse making and crying) shift their focus to how the Oilers can win the draft lottery to get Lafreniere to play with Jesus next year...like there's some sort of strategy involved. Bank on it. And it'll dominate their discussions even if it's about the Cup winners two months from now.
Pittsburgh getting a shot at Lafreniere would be equally gay. Leafs too, although seeing them lose to Columbus would still be great.

Saw that this was Crow’s 50th playoff win. Only 19 others with that pedigree.
