Verified on the Hawks Twitter page - Gustav Forsling assigned to Rockford.

That was going to be my guess. Best thi g for him to be honest. He's got potential to be a solid D but needs work still.

Another NFL/Patriots playoff game that goes perfectly to script.

Rinse, repeat...snore

The game, as most playoff games this year, was actually a great game, minus the 'seen it 1000 times before' ending. In fact, this post season may go down as the greatest ever if they get a great Super Bowl out the deal.

This doesn't have anything to do with where Brady played in college, does it?

No it's completely about verified cheaters who should have the same *** that steroid users in baseball should have. Deflated footballs, taping opposing team's practices, and stealing their playbook...all confirmed. OSU has won 14 of the last 15 against UM, so that's not really a concern lol.

If Bowman used the Patriots' model, the Hawk's may have a few more years in their Cup window.

Seeing that the hawks playoffs aspirations are dwindling what do the hawks do at the TDL trade AA kempney wighles bouma franson maybe hartman or wait until offseason and assets everything and everyone including gm scouting staff and coaches? Do you trade kieth to contender at the TDL?

Blackhawks finally down to 7 dmen. Should have happened a while ago and I heard that the Hawks were working towards this.

Cody Franson told Scott Powers that he's never been on a team that has used 8 D and guys were afraid to make a mistake as it would land them in the press box.

True, but there have been some really good games in that stretch. Last season's OT game was a great one, and this year's was good until the 4th.

I haven’t looked at the Patriot roster details, but it would help to have cap exceptions (renegotiating contracts, at least ) and non-guaranteed contracts.

Plus a continually rising cap.

Easier to keep a team together.

True, but their model of trading players a year early instead of a year late helps them compete every year despite any cap considerations.

There was a bit of a lull between championships for the Patriots. Can you imagine if the Blackhawks could cut Toews and Seabrook in the middle of their contracts, its no where near the same

Be patient, this is a good thing for the Blackhawks they can begin restructuring from the backend which needs to happen sooner than later

amazing the frick'n patriots did it again...ralleyed to win...7 straight AFC championship games and won 4...

remarkable for a team with the turnover in roster they have other than B&B to accomplish that kinda excellence almost for almost 2 decades...

i don't care for football at all...have not watched a down in two years...

but that type of accomplishment and winning is unequaled in professional sports

nfl is totally different...shorter player lifespan and belicheck does not fall in love with players; he moves them and finds new players to fit into his winning machine

(frank) Brady and Bellicheck. Serial cheaters. Also NFL football is almost as bad as watching the Hawks last 2 games. NCAA football >>>>NFL. Less commercials, more big plays, better rivalries and stadiums. Also, go Buckeyes!

You female dog about the pats but see nothing wrong with the countless scandals at OSU?
SAD!

it was a dumb strategy but may have been dictated by contracts and waiver eligible..

it definately has hurt player development and confidence...

as pretentious as it is, dont forget it's (t)he Ohio State....

How many more embarrassing losses before a coaching/GM change is made? How many home games will McDonagh listen to the Boo Birds from the paying customers before he demands accountability? If the last two games are any indication, this team has mentally thrown in the towel. Detroit and NYI are non-playoff teams that throughly manhandled the Hawks in every facet of the game. How many casual fans is McDonagh willing to lose the rest of this season if efforts like this continue? If it were me, I give Bowman and Q another 2 weeks to see SOME sign of Life and Give a (frank) from this team. If nothing changes, clean house and let a new GM try to create a clear direction with the rebuild before the Trade Deadline.

It still blows my mind how good Vegas is....

How? A bunch of cast offs, has beens, misfit parts.....and they're like the best team in the league?

Look at all their players that are producing at ridiculous levels. Doesn't make any sense. Something fishy might be going on behind the curtain. Ya never know....

You mean OSU players trading their own personal property for free tattoos while the NCAA executives make billions off their hard work? There are no other "scandals" at OSU, unlike your Tweeter In Chief who has a new National embarrassment every 24 hours.

I think it’s mostly attitude.

Here's a hint, go google Ohio state scandals....even the marching band has scandals.
Those stellar student athletes (oxymoron) knew the rules when they signed up for their free education. The executives are making "Billions"? You're high
Help me understand how debate about Pats and OSU cheating scandals somehow leads to a trump off ramp?
WTF is wrong with you? Solar business slow?

Agreed. I thought it could be an issue this year and its shown. Stan really put himself into a corner with the structure of contracts that constructed this team.

however...call me cynical but they have about 13 ufa and rfa's and no player making over 5 mil...they will have problems keeping that roster together...so they weren't really castoffs...teams decided not to protect them because of cap and other roster issues...call it the "Richard panik" syndrome of contract year performance

none the less your point stands...a great story for the league

forsling is a great dman talent at 21...but he should not have been up here...i hope the hell they didn't screw this kid psychologically...
