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.

Dak Prescott Jersey . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable.Jamie Peacock. What can you say after 17 years at the top? Hes won it all - nine Super League titles, four Challenge Cups, five League Leaders Shields, four World Club Challenges, and not to mention a Man of Steel award to recognise his individual efforts. As Super League XXI gets underway, the former Rhino and Bull settles down to a new career as Hull KRs director of rugby, ready to use his vast experience to help Robins battle for the trophies.And as we celebrate his career with a documentary, lets look back at some of the best bits… Challenge Cup 2000Peacock made his debut in 1999, but missed out on the Bulls Grand Final defeat to St Helens that season. He began 2000 in barnstorming fashion to make up for it, and having helped Bradford to Murrayfield for the Challenge Cup final, Peacock started in the back row alongside Mike Forshaw and Brad Mackay against rivals Leeds.Leroy Rivett made the headlines, enduring a nightmare day for the Rhinos as he struggled to deal with Henry Pauls high bombs, but Peacock was part of an enormous Bradford pack that ran Leeds into the ground. The Bulls won 24-18 and Peacock had his hands on a piece of silverware for the first time in his career.Great Britain debut - 2001Although Peacock played for England in the 2000 World Cup, scoring six tries on their run to the semi-finals, he had to wait till the following year to make his Great Britain debut. Following a brilliant Grand Final winning season for the Bulls in 2001, their first success in the showpiece event at Old Trafford, Peacock was a nailed-on starter for David Waites side for the first Test against Australia at Huddersfield. Jamie Peacock scored a try on his debut for Great Britain And it didnt take long for him to make an impact. Just 86 seconds in fact. Peacock charged down Darren Lockyers kick, before re-collecting from Gary Connolly to crash over for the games opening try. A magical start for the second rower, and Britain did go on to win that Test 20-12. But defeats in Bolton and Wigan condemned them to a 2-1 series defeat.Man of Steel - 20032003 was undoubtedly Bradfords year as they bulldozed their way to a treble, winning the Challenge Cup, League Leaders Shield and the Grand Final, completing a historic achievement under Brian Noble. But the star turn of the team was Peacock. He scored in the Challenge Cup final win over rivals Leeds, helping them to a 22-20 victory in Cardiff. Peacock won the Man of Steel award for the 2003 season And before the season was out, Peacock picked up the Players Player of the Year, Rugby League Writers Player of the Year and the Man of Steel awards, recognition for his stand-out performances in a dominant Bulls side. And he soon had a second Grand Final winners ring to add to his collection, playing a starring role in a 25-12 win over Wigan at Old Trafford.2005 Grand FinalAfter losing to Leeds in the 2004 Grand Final, Peacock was named the new Bradford captain in 2005, replacing Robbie Paul. A logical choice, but soon it appeared all wasnt well at Odsal. By the end of the season, several big names confirmed their departures, including the new skipper himself. And to make things worse, Peacock announced hed be joining Leeds for 2006; a move that upset the Bradford faithful. Jamie Peacock on the rampage during the Grand Final in 2005 Professionalism had to take priority though, and Peacock helped a languishing Bulls side turn their season around, reaching the Grand Final from third place in the regular season.ddddddddddddNo side had won it from third back in 2005 and Leeds, Peacocks future employers and the side that had beaten them in 2004, stood in their way. Tries from Leon Pryce and Lesley Vainikolo helped Bradford to a 15-6 win, ensuring Peacocks final action in a Bradford shirt was to lift the trophy high into the Manchester sky.Three in a rowPeacocks debut season at Headingley didnt quite go to plan, with Leeds failing to reach even a final in their quest for more silverware. But better things were to come and Peacock had a huge role to play in a Rhinos side quickly developing into a golden generation. His hard yards, lung-busting minutes and offloads were a key cog in Leeds historical three-in-a-row team, winning Grand Finals in 2007, 2008 and 2009, all against St Helens.The first was a stunning, against-the-odds 33-6 triumph, thrashing the favourites in Tony Smiths final game in charge. The secon, was a nail-biting 24-16 win in Brian McClennans first season in charge. And the third was an 18-10 success, settled by a late Lee Smith try. By 2009, it was clear Peacock had already become a club legend for both Leeds and Bradford.Challenge Cup - at lastAs the main engine of the Rhinos machine, Peacock helped the side to another two Grand Final victories, both times from a historic fifth position in the regular table, beating St Helens in 2011 and Warrington in 2012. But one trophy eluded Leeds and their golden generation. The Challenge Cup. Leeds Rhinos Kevin Sinfield hugs Jamie Peacock at Wembley The Rhinos and Peacock lost three in a row in 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the Wembley hoodoo hung large over the players heads despite all their Grand Final victories. But they battled through to the final again in 2014, with West Yorkshire rivals Castleford waiting to lock horns in London. And this time Leeds werent to be denied, winning 23-10 and securing a third Challenge Cup winners medal for Peacock.Bowing out At the ripe old age of 37, Peacock decided hed retire at the end of 2015 season to take up the director of rugby role at Hull KR. His captain Kevin Sinfield also announced hed be leaving the Rhinos at the end of the campaign to join sister rugby union club Yorkshire Carnegie, while long time front-row partner Kylie Leuluai also decided to call it a day. So with three retiring legends, the scene was set for Leeds to send them out in style. Jamie Peacock acknowledges the crowd in his final home appearance And send them out in style they did. The Challenge Cup came first; Tom Briscoes five-try display helping them to a 50-0 win over Hull KR to seal a second winners medal in a row. Then came the League Leaders Shield - sealed with Ryan Halls last gasp flying winner. And finally, the Grand Final, Peacocks ninth winners ring, settled in a nail-biting 22-20 win over Wigan. And so, along with Sinfield and Leuluai, out bowed one of Rugby Leagues finest, in the most fitting way - with a trophy in his hands.Dont miss Jamie Peacock: Legend of League, Thursday, 10pm on Sky Sports 2HD ' ' '
