A few updates before puck drop:
• Jason Dickinson could be out tonight.
• Landon Slaggert might draw back into the lineup.
• Joey Anderson, who cleared waivers, could rejoin the IceHogs.The Rockford IceHogs are rolling after winning both games this weekend and face Chicago again today
Another great performance from Nestrasil, who picked up 3 points yesterday.🔥 Lines at Saturday’s practice
Bertuzzi – Bedard – Burakovsky
Teravainen – Nazar – Mikheyev
Slaggert – Donato – Reichel
Dach – Greene – LaffertyVlasic – Rinzel
Grzelcyk – Murphy
Kaiser – Levshunov
Crevier (extra)Knight
SöderblomMore updates to come later…
This is a game where the Hawks need Dickinson cuz Q has some big, physical, skilled young centerman in Carlsson and McTavish to deal with. Plus the Ducks have some vets with size who plan on using it with the Hawk young skill …. Nice to see Slaggert available. He should fit this system well.. Is Blashill gonna dress Reichel again? We know he’s intrigued by his physical skills/skating, who isn’t, and has trusted him enough to put him out in OT so we know Blashill is taking a look at Reichel with skilled mates. Interesting to watch Blah work this…Dach is falling down the lineup a bit each game. I called for him to be dropped out of the top 6 after a poor/unengaged 1st period 2-3 games back. If it’s in there I hope Blash can unlock Dach.
My favorite matchup this yr. Very interesting roster construction in ANA with Trouba and Gudas on the back end trying to maim along with a tricky guy like Zellweger. My Guy Krieder, a Terry and Kilhorn mixed in with blue chip top 3 picks in Carlsson, Sennecke and McTavish. A young Dostal is the #1 after waiting behind Gibson.. Very very interesting squad and now they have Q to put the puzzle together.
This has a chance to really entertain fans on both sides.
Sounds like Blashill had an intense practice yesterday, so my guess is we are going to see a tired team today? I hope not but we’ll see.
And, they stole 5th overall Gauthier who they stole from the Flyers. Where were you when this was going down, KD. Think Verbeek stole him for Drysdale. …….. 2 yrs ago he put up 65 in 41 at Boston College as a true sophomore and 44 in 82 with 20 goals as an NHL rookie last yr!!! ……. Yea, real interesting in ANA the next 15 yrs!…… And, IIRC McQueen fell to them last draft.
I may be wrong but i think the Ducks could use some good RDmen.
Looks like Senneke is playing well to.
KD was busy accumulating top 100 draft picks.

Yo Dots, get a good look see at McTavish. He won’t be hard to find!!…. Sure, the Duck roster has holes and a lotta yutes, but damn. Lot to like way out here in California..
Hawks are exceeding anyone’s expectations 6 games in but last game was the funkiest. Looking forward to the coaches and player’s response this game.

• 5 defensemen aged 24 or younger
• 5 forwards aged 23 or youngerNot taking anything away from the Ducks i believe they will be a regular playoff opponent when both our times are ready. I just don’t get all caught up in having a big forward, i know we need them but as KD has said it’s easier to find those guys when the time comes.
