The Chicago Blackhawks Will Be Just Fine

from Barry Rozner of the Chicago Daily-Herald,

So now it will be a question of adjustments for both teams, and the Hawks have an advantage there with Quenneville vs. Boudreau, whose playoff history is not in his favor.

The Hawks' head coach has already started to look for better matchups by giving Patrick Kane more to work with, at times even using him on a line with Jonathan Toews and Teuvo Teravainen, and there will probably be lineup changes for Game 2.

Quenneville also, predictably, reunited Keith with Brent Seabrook for a good portion of the game, but the Hawks' top four averaged 24 minutes while Rundblad played 10 and Kimmo Timonen only five.

Anaheim continued to play three sets of defense with its top four averaging 21 minutes and its bottom pair playing 17 and 15.

"I think we're fine," Quenneville said. "When you're not playing much, keep it simple, keep it safe and work your way through it."
