All anyone could talk about were the new lines going into this game, and it distracted nicely from the defence corps that’s missing two key players. For the first game of a back-to-back, the hope has to be a quick and painless game that isn’t end-to-end exhausting skating or ten million shots faced by Frederik Andersen. Let’s see if a team built for speed can deliver that. (Ron Hainsey has a special request for very little PK time.)
Before we begin, just a note about Jeff Glass, in net for Chicago. He’s a hell of a guy, and a good pro in all ways.
