Sharp/Stalberg and Kane/Hossa combos have both been hot. I'd roll...
Sharp-Toews-Stalberg
xxxxx-Kane-Hossa
Possibly Hayes, Brunette (Q's boy, not mine) or Kruger in the 2LW spot.
I agree with you and BobbyJet and I'm on record as saying I'd rather see the lines you listed. But, it's going to be what it's going to be and hopefully it works. Go Hawks! I'll be at my local bar drinking and hoping for a win!
My friends are all pretty much clueless when it comes to following the league as a whole, while I have been following players like Nuge, Henrique and Landeskog the entire season to see how they do. Right now, they far and away look like the front-runners to win the Calder trophy, and without a doubt in my mind if the voting was today then those three would be the finalists.
However, there is one exception to that. IF Andrew Shaw goes out and performs stellar in the playoffs, let's say in 25 games he has 15 goals and 30 points. Would it be that farfetched for him to be a finalist?
Considering the Avalanche didn't make the playoffs, and this is nothing against Gabriel, while he had a phenomenal regular season that may or may not hurt Landeskog's chances. Same thing with Nugent-Hopkins, plus, with an injury-riddled season he didn't live up to his full potential. Enter Andrew Shaw, who lit twelve lamps and assisted on 11 this season in 37 games.
If you factor him playing a whole 82 games, that's 24 with a 74-game resume. If he plays a full season, does Andrew Shaw get consideration for the Calder? More specifically, if he goes through with the season he had and amazes this playoffs, will he be talked about for the race?

Let the flaming commence.
Regular season awards are decided before the playoffs start.

I thought that was pretty funny. "My friends are all clueless, whereas I am very knowledgeable!" ...proceeds to utterly screw up how regular season awards are awarded...
