Blackhawks Assign David Rundblad To Rockford
On Friday, the Blackhawks assigned defenseman David Rundblad to the Rockford IceHogs. He had been on loan to the ZSC Lions (Switzerland), but their postseason has come to an end.
Rundblad, 25, had two goals and 11 assists in 11 games with Zurich. He was credited with one assist in four playoff games.
Turn him into a forward
Our Swedish Quota/Omens.
I agree Ernie, the guy is a good skater and has a cannon shot.
Is he under contract with da Hawks next year?
Ladd-Toews–Hossa
Panarin–Anisimov–Kane
Fleischmann–Shaw–Weise
Desjardins–Rasmussen–Panik
I believe these are the projected forward lines tonight, which I would argue is the best arrangement we’ve seen so far, most notably rasmussen and panik over mashinter. Hopefully this provides a good result against a relatively harmless opponent.
Where is TT?
He is mudturtle
86 is Flu.
Not a good time of year to have that shit going around
Teravainen was questionable this morning
Teravainen is on the ice for warmups fwiw
Interesting that Rundblad simply did not go home after his season ended in Switzerland.
I guess he still wants to be part of the Hawks organization.
Rundblad is under contract with the Hawks. He was lent to the S.E.L.
Rundblad will reportedly report to Rockford on Saturday.
The NHL of the next 15 years will be built on the backs and skills of smart, agile defensemen like Dunk and Shayne Gostisbehere both smaller 5′ 11″but quick, great pivots, great moving laterally, good stick and hard to stick! Meaning hard to pin, always moving. Torey Krug of Boston I see a lot, he is like 5 foot 9 is also a great defensemen. Hawks are in big trouble in the back, it will be exposed in the playoffs. hence all those lame “behind the net” flip passes for prime scoring attempts.
