Funny here in Chicago today listening to all the doom and gloom. For goodness sakes, we were just down to The Ducks 2-1 last series and taking a physical beating, then turned it around. Heck, in 2013, we were down 2-1 to Boston and The Bruins were arguably outplaying The Hawks more than Tampa is now and The Hawks turned that too. The question is, do they flip the switch again? Have a good history of doing so, my bet is they still do.

Oduya was not in the morning skate. That would be a difficult one to make up for. I do not think they could use Timonen against Tampa, as he has lost absolutely all of his speed. Maybe TVR is ready to step up into Johnny O's role? Was arguably playing better than him early in the season before shattering his leg blocking a puck.

In addition, Bick's vertigo may be back. Really wish Q would insert Nordstrom rather than Versteeg, but hard to question Q with his track record.
