#Blackhawks recall D Stephen Johns and G Antti Raanta. Send back Nordstrom and Darling. TVR to LTI.

 

And Johns is sent back to Rockford. What was your favorite moment of the Stephen Johns era?

You can tell there is some serious work being done to save cap money.

If you were recalled from Rockford to Chicago for cap reasons but do not play, do you think you personally would still drive to Chicago to get out of Rockford for some respite?

IIRC, they do need to go to the team facility and practice with the team.

First, yes. Having grown up there - there's nothing better than leaving Rockford. It's awful.

Yeah, the Hawks used to pay for limos. I imagine they have a partnership with Uber or some drivers on staff at this point. At least 90 finally opened up.

TVR out 2 to 3 months.

Expected but still sucks, He was really coming into his own quickly

Interesting stuff from the Committed Indian blog about the Hawks shooting woes

 

 

Interesting. You have to imagine they will be fine.

Clendening and Nordstrom called up. I'd expect these two to make the trip.

I'm guessing fractured kneecap

 

You win. Left patella fracture, out 3-4 months.

Damn, that really sucks for TVR. Hopefully it heals up OK.

#Blackhawks lines this morning: 20-19-81, 23-91-88, 29-65-13, 42-16-28

Not something you want to win. I could tell by the way he got off the bench, been there.

Just brutal for his development.

I really, really like TVR's game. It's an absolute shame that this had to happen. Hopefully the injury bug stays away from our team now.

 

On the flip side, I am excited to see what Clendening brings to the team. If he plays well, it could make it an easier pill to swallow should we lose Oduya or Seabrook next offseason. If he doesn't play well... I hope we see another of our younger players. But I also wouldn't be surprised to see Cumiskey or Brennan should that happen. Frankly, I'm surprised Cumiskey didn't get the call up instead, maybe it was a cap issue, but I am happy with the call up of Clendening because he deserves an opportunity, and the organization can benefit from an internal scouting report on how Clendening plays in the NHL going into next offseason.

 

Jack Johnson's parents totally screwed him over

Wow, I can't even imagine.

He better hopes he stays healthy for a while to earn back some of that promised money

Jack Johnson's parents totally screwed him over

In 2008, Johnson parted ways with agent Pat Brisson, who represents some of the National Hockey League’s biggest stars, including Sidney Crosby, Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews.

 

With no agent and little knowledge of how the financial world works, Johnson turned over control of his money to his parents.

Nice work, genius. As an aside, I can't believe this is his 9th season already. I'm old.

Q: Patrick Sharp could start skating in the next day or so. Could come out on the end of the trip but doubtful he plays on it. #Blackhawks

Andrew Shaw out tonight (upper body). Q said it's short term. #Blackhawks

That's a nice way to start a career.

Nice way to start a game and road trip too.

Very cool to see Clendening get a goal already!

 

And also nice to see Nordstrom contribute on that 2nd goal. Go Hawks!
