Game one news...Q is clearly not happy with Stalberg...he was not on the top 4 lines at practice on Tues.

The forwards skated as:

Sharp/Toews/Hossa
Bickell/Handzus/Kane
Saad/Bolland/Shaw
Bollig/Kruger/Frolik

I feel that adding a physical player like Bollig for 5 min TOI is a stupid move by Q. It messes with the chemistry that Frolik/Bolland/Kruger had been showing on the forecheck vs. LA. I feel that, despite having hands of stone, Stalberg's speed would be a problem for the B's on the 3rd line.

And breaking up Kane/Toews is a sign that Q has already let Chara into his head. I really think he should have just rode the lines he finished up with vs. LA, and let the B's have to sort out how to deal with team speed on 4 lines.

I hadn't heard about changes in D pairings...but Q mixes and matches at random intervals...

I suspect:

Seakeith
Hjammer/Leddy
Oduya/Rozival
