With Aucoin out

are we going to see Morris or Rundblaad tonight? I’d rather see Rundblaad since he hasn’t played much after the trade and since we can’t seem to score with any kind of regularity.

Living proof that hockey fans CAN be born in the desert.

According to Yotesgurl’s sources, Rundblad may be getting sent down to the AHL. I haven’t seen any official word however. I assume even if he doesn’t get sent down today it will happen in the near future. I always assumed when they made the trade he would, barring injuries, be spending a significant portion of the rest of the season in Portland. It was obvious the Sens rushed him a bit. I think he needs some North American ‘seasoning’.

Scoring is definitely an issue. Would like to see guys not playing on the Whitney-Vrby line scoring more that is for sure.

I hope they do send him down soon

I’d rather he get playing time somewhere. there’s only so much good sitting in the press box can do.
