CHICAGO -- Brandon Bollig will join the Chicago Blackhawks lineup for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final, replacing Viktor Stalberg on the fourth line. The only change for either team is designed to bring some more physicality to a series that should have plenty of it. "I think hes pretty smart on knowing what he brings to our team," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "We want him to play hard, smart, within the whistles (and) bring that element." That element involves using his six-foot-two, 223-pound frame against a big Bruins team that dispatched the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins without much difficulty to reach the final. Bollig hasnt played since May 5. "Its been a while," Bollig said after the Blackhawks morning skate at United Center. "Its a lot different, but weve all been there, maybe not in the final but weve all played playoff games. So Im hoping to just hit the ground running here." Bollig is expected to skate with Marcus Kruger and Michael Frolik. "Hes a big guy and he can skate, he can hit," Frolik said of Bollig. This will be the 26-year-olds eighth Stanley Cup playoff game. He had 21 penalty minutes in his first seven. "Every little play is all the more important, and obviously were looking to stay out of the box," Bollig said. "I think you definitely have to kind of find the line and maybe push the envelope, but not too far." Quenneville said discipline is a constant point of emphasis, and that doesnt change with Bollig. Captain Jonathan Toews provided a prime example in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Detroit Red Wings of what can happen if a player loses his composure, taking three penalties in one period. The Blackhawks would like Toews play measured in points, not penalty minutes. Quenneville mixed up his Game 1 lines, splitting up Toews and Patrick Kane to balance out his offence. Bruins coach Claude Julien insisted Toews and Kane playing on separate lines doesnt affect his team. "We just have to react to it in a way whoever is on the ice," Julien said. "Weve said that before, whoever is on the ice has to be aware of the other teams players on the ice." Boston isnt making any changes for Wednesday nights Game 1. Adidas NMD Human Race Sale .ca. Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. Adidas NMD Womens Sale . 9.

(Of course, theyve also played a grand total of one playoff game since 2012, so this ranking could be even worse.) This offseason, New York finds itself in a transition period, with Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira joining the likes of Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera on the sideline and making way for the next generation of Yankees, led by catcher Gary Sanchez.Whats goodSure, the Yankees have just one playoff appearance since 2012, but they still have 52 in their history. It will take a lot more than four bad years to drop the Yankees too far in title track, in which they are currently tied for 19th. Postseason appearance No. 53 might come sooner than expected too. By trading veterans Andrew Miller, Aroldis Chapman, Carlos Beltran and Ivan Nova at the July deadline, GM Brian Cashman managed to transform his teams farm system into one of baseballs best. The newly loaded system, combined with the teams always loaded wallet, should allow the Yankees to be buyers with both trades and free agents. If all goes right, New Yorks Baby BBombers will combine with a few free-agent mercenaries to form another dynasty.ddddddddddddhats badThe Yankees arent winning championships anymore, but they are charging championship prices. The teams bang for its buck is 119th, which makes it harder for some fans to justify making the trek to the seven-year-old new Yankee Stadium ( take heart, Yanks fans: The Red Sox are 122nd in that category). At $51.55 per seat, Yanks tickets are the second-most expensive in baseball and $20 more than league average. That, plus another playoff-less season, helps explain why the Yanks 2016 attendance was their worst in 16 years.Whats newOver the past three seasons, the Yankees have lost established stars Jeter, A-Rod and Rivera to retirement. Although Sanchez, Aaron Judge and the Yanks other youngsters have plenty of promise, it will take time before they fill those very large shoes, and in the meantime, New York fell 16 spots in players. Joe Girardi is also perhaps wearing thin on fans patience, as he dropped 29 spots in coaching this year after missing out on the playoffs for a third time in four years. Just remember, New Yorkers: He has also gotten you a World Series, two ALCS appearances and another division series in his tenure. Most teams would manage to forgive a temporary lapse.Next: Atlanta Braves?| Full rankings ' ' '
