It'll certainly help.
But against a team with a vicious forecheck (one of the Ducks' major strengths), there's a higher probability of individual weaknesses being exposed.

Another thing I'll just throw out there (i'm still learning alot about the game)
What is Rundblad's Corsi Rating? Shouldn't that help sort out critiquing his play?

Do you mean to tell me that HHM was right about toughness?

Not just that... but playing with Duncan Keith to start games, and only every other shift for Keith when teams 1-2nd lines are less likely out there and in more offensive zone draws does wonders.

I'm really new to the sport, but I have to say, I believe I definitely #calledit on this one. We'll see if my momentum theory is correct soon enough.
See? I've come a long way from PK "Puck Kicking" and PP "Puck Possession"...

And as much as we may bitch about Rundblad, know that you'll be laughing at Anaheim's defense when they're trying to handle the Blackhawks' forward depth.

Rundblad won't be the defenseman getting burned most in this series. I fail to see how Anaheims d pairs will contain our speed.

I'm giving him the (BOD (HHM that's benefit of the doubt)) until he proves otherwise. Being placed with Keith should help.

Unfortunately, deleting this thread will not keep Rundblad off the ice

True, but deleting the Rozival injury thread will keep Rundblad off the ice.

Kessler will probably draw the assignment to check Towes and try and rough him up. Their leading scorer in the play-offs , Perry was nicked up in the last Flames game so that could slow him down some.

I read the Ducks have bigger players weight and height wise..It's too bad they lost Rozy because he was playing much better. Runblad having to replace a veteran D man is a bit worrisome..Timonen's ice time may increase, or they may burn out Keith? This is going to be a rough series I fear, hope our guys stay injury free..

That's why this long layoff should benefit the Hawks. We could see some ridiculous minutes put up by the top 4 D of Keith, Seabrook, Hjalmarsson and Oduya in this series.

I dont think its possible to burn out Keith. Keith only burns out when he decides he isnt having fun and really doesnt feel like playing like in 2011. That guys conditioning has to be the best one of the best in the league. I dont think i have even seen him sweat during a post game interview after playing his usuall 78893 minutes. Guys not human.

Dont even think about it. Unlike you guys I support every player on this team no matter of race or creed. Just because Runblad is a pretty boy GAP model doesnt mean he doesnt deserve our respect and support.
