Chicago Blackhawks 2013-2014

[Chadd 916]

Toews will be 100% of what he is capable of being on the first night of the playoffs. He may not be 100% healthy or 100% recovered, but he will be at 100% of whatever level he is at.

[RadioGaGa 162]

Toews at 100% of 80% is still better than 75% of the rest of the League at 100%

It depends what is meant by "%". A foot is a low percentage of body mass, but a skater is useless in the NHL without it.

Regardless, the percentages are useless because they're lies. I wouldn't be surprised if Skippy's injury, described by Q as "day-to-day", was expected to take 2-4 months to heal, and that they already know he's out until next year. I don't trust the story on Kane, either. Like last year, I'm interested to hear the injury reports after the playoffs.

Matt-

Teravainen doesn't weigh much more than Nordstrom's 160. The Blackhawks aren't setting up to outsize anyone.

Kruger has turned into one hell of a defensive forward. Too bad he doesn't score enough to have a shot at the Selke.

I really hate this aspect of Q, wanting to have one player on the roster of a certain type.

Carcillo's back, and will play tonight.

Crawford looked good. I was glad to see that he looked comfortable and relaxed in the shootout, too.
