Blackhawks notes on their five-forward power-play strategy; Luke Richardson talks about his friend who will be donating a kidney.
In the Blackhawks' case, they decided to use five forwards on their first-team power-play unit. Coach Luke Richardson went with this formation against the Bruins, Penguins and Stars about a month ago, and he went back to it during the Hawks' 4-1 loss to Vegas at the United Center on Thursday.
"I've seen it at times," Richardson said."Sometimes it's injury, and sometimes you just have five exceptional forwards. To start a power play, it's not a real danger, because if you have our best players on the team handling the puck, there's less likelihood of a turnover or opportunities against when you'd like to have a defenseman out there.

Above and beyond: Hawks coach Luke Richardson had a T-shirt on Thursday morning that was given to him by Barrie Robillard, a buddy in town from Ottawa. When asked about it, Richardson launched into a pretty incredible story about Robillard, who is on vacation before returning home to donate a kidney to a high school friend.
