Not so much on defense, I don't think. Rosival played okay, but that's the exception, and Kimonnen doesn't look as though he'll be able to make an impact. They do have four really solid guys, who can handle a lot of minutes. That's close to the same outcome as depth, though the OTs scare me.
Depth at forward? It's unreal. Even the weak spots -- Bickell, who seems to shine in the playoffs, Versteeg, who seems to play well with Kane, Shaw, who is much better as a wing than as a center. Without Weber and Fisher, it's probably too much to over come. Richards may be a bit weak as the number 2 center, but he's got Kane on his wing. And the third line is Vermette, Sharp and Bickell. All have had struggles this season, but that's a tough third line. Just imagine if Q were willing to bench either Versteeg or Shaw to get Teravainen on the ice.
Minnesota might be a bad match-up, but I'd prefer them to St. Louis. The Blues may have finally figured Chicago out.
