"FROZEN TALK" 1901 West Madison..."Get this one for #2 and OPERATION get to J-QUICK" Episode...BLACKHAWKS will be without DUNCAN KEITH in Game 4...MONARCHS must be chopin at the bit to get Game 4 going...#CHIvsLAK #WCF #SCP #FrozenTalkHawks

The Chicago Blackhawks task for Game Four got much tougher as the NHL came down on Hawks Star Defenseman Duncan Keith for his High-Sticking Penalty and expelled him from tonight's contest.   Now the Plot thickens for the Hawks to try and get game four as they will be shuffling Defensemen around. Nick Leddy or Sheldon Brookbank are rumored to be the replacement for Keith. What they won;t replace is #2's Elite Skating and Passing Ability and teaming with Brent Seasbrook as one of the more potent puck-moving Back End Duos.

The Kings have "MO" and that is momentum on their side and now they are just 60 minutes away from heading back to the Motel in Chi City for game five at 2-2 if they can pull off a game four win. Right Winger Justin Williams of the Monarchs has been on fire as he has scored a goal in the last two games. The Kings will not have Center Mike Richards as he has been ruled out again. Right Winger Dustin Brown and Defenseman Matt Greene put their stamp on Game Three and they have both givin' the Hawks problems. Brown leads the Playoffs with 72 hits.

Toews and Kane must assert themselves in a major way as they were David Copperfield in Game Three.

Bickell has been hot and can he stay Caliente in Game Four for the Hawks?

Crawford has played well and the Hawks need a another stellar performance from him to get game four...

What the KINGS need to do to win:

When will Doughty break out as he is long over due like the Hawks Kane and Toews?

J-Quick will be on his game and can he stifle the Hawks in Game Four?

Kings need to keep Hawks Star Right Winger Patrick Kane from getting lose as the physical play has played a huge role...

Can't turn the Frozen One over in the Neutral Zone as the Hawks are too skilled and will make you pay....
