John Quenneville Headed To Rockford
The Blackhawks placed forward John Quenneville on waivers Thursday. He reportedly cleared Friday morning and will join the IceHogs.
Quenneville, the 30th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Draft, was acquired in a trade for John Hayden in June.
Seemed like they felt he was an upgrade from Hayden, be interesting to see when/if he is recalled.
Dach took full practice today.
Good news on Dach practicing – another step in the right direction.
I’d like to see Colliton go with line combo’s against the Berlin team based on the players who gave a f*** in the game against the Caps – put the players who gave good efforts together with each other. A top-6 of this:
Cat-Toews-Shaw (the 3 players who showed the most heart and “want to”)
Caggiula-Wedin-Kubalik (the next 3 who gave good effort)
The rest of the rabble who either gave poor effort or basically stink can make up the other 2 lines.
OK…. I didn’t watch the last game but the stats, comments and everything looked pretty brutal… I know the preseason is a pretty small sample size but I was looking at Boqvist compared to Gustafson so far. I don’t know where to get advanced stats CORSI etc for preseason if anyone knows?
PLAYER GP G A P +/- PM TOI/G PPG PPA SHG SHA SOG SOG% GW FO% SGM-A
Adam Boqvist D 3 1 1 2 2 0 16:15 0 0 0 0 5 20.0 0 — 0-0
Erik Gustafsson D 3 0 1 1 -3 2 22:57 0 0 0 0 12 0.0 0 — 0-0
Stats right now show Boqvist at a +2 to Gus at a -3. Boqvist is tied or better in assists, goals, points & +/-. It would be interesting to keep comparing the two to see if Boqvist takes Gustafssons job or not. There is to much money locked up in the other defenseman to not play them, so I doubt Boqvist will taker there spots. I hope Gilbert gets a shot to start the season if DeHaan is not ready. I like Gustafsson but Boqvist is looking like the better player….. Alot of comments about getting deeper, Gus might be in the press box because we have better options now….
I didn’t mind him.
If Boqvist continues his rate of development in RKF he’ll be up probably when the first injury hits the D and then to stay once Gus gets deals likely at the TDL
People keep pointing out Boq’s defensive liabilities but IMO Gus is no better and probably worse
@ ER – I thought DCat had just about the worst game I’ve ever seen him play vs the Caps
Don’t know that I’d be rewarding him for that
Not going by anything in these 6 scrimmages. I do however do not like the things you guys are saying about the team system and Defense position and looking like we still do not know what to do. That kind of stuff pisses me off. I know it takes time, needs to be progress on that. Cant be a 82 game thing. Need to know what the F were doing by game 41.
