Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill made a lineup tweak to the top line after losing to the Panthers on opening night of the NHL season. Ryan Donato and Colton Dach swap spots on Connor Bedard’s wing. How can this change affect Bedard and Dach’s impact? Plus, Alex Vlasic is healthy and returns to the lineup before tomorrow night’s game. Jay Zawaski and Mario Tirabassi discuss all that and more as the Blackhawks prepare to face the Boston Bruins.

  1. I’m all for Dach getting an opportunity. #28 doesn’t below there, but this is the hand Blashill was dealt—zero first-line help this past offseason, or the one prior, or the one prior…

  2. This is sort of when Q used to put Shaw on the top line totally unnecessary. Bedard needs talent on his line not a mucker. Put him with Nazar and if the opponent focuses its effort on that line so be it let them work through it. Until more talent arrives (Frondell, Sasha) where you can spread them out like Towes and Kane let them play together and let’s see some fun

  3. How does Burakovsky play the role of "facilitator"? That man was invisible yesterday…only thing he facilitated was a line change, presumably

  4. A note on something Mario saod about puck races. Its not about speed. Most races to the puck are actually a race for body position. Which is usually won by the bigger player.

  5. Give Dach a 3 game tryout sure. Id put Mikheyev up instead. Conner and Donato proved they can shoot or pass as goals and assists last year were nearly the same. Just need a speedster to beat d-men to retrieve dump ins, with size to muscle pucks away in corners, ability to hold possession and distribute puck to linemates or trailing d-men, create space for Bedard and Donato. Mikheyev can score and developed some chemistry with Bedard last year. Oh BTW, can play defense as well.
    Fill in hole in 3rd line with Burakowski and defense-first winger like Anderson, Greene, or a responsible vet like Foligno. Reduce 4th line to 10 minutes of ice time per game. Hawks don’t have enough talent right now for 4 lines. Dach, Lafferty, Reichel. (Greene should be in Rockford honing his skills to perhaps replace Dickenson at trade deadline or be 4th line center with a Nazer plan call-up in late November or December)..
