And he was playing well up until the Toews double minor...

He played great last night.

I don't think Toews barking at the ref injured his hand...

 

[featherhawk]

that sucks as he played great, Right hand is for more exposed to potential damage and injury...wonder what happened

ligament or tendant damage to digits?
broken digit?
wrist bend awkward?

dont imagine it is a laceration of any sort by a skate blade cause we would have seen the results...

heal up quick KL

No, but that seemed like the turning point. Maybe something happened around that time...

oddly enough I am more comfortable with Soderblom over Lankinen anyways, even though he is a rookie

Not yet. He needs games in Rockford.

i agree he needs a ton of games but I still like him

I like him also but he would be better served with the hogs then backing up fleury the majority of the month lanks is out.

Hopefully, Lankinen won't be out long. He played well last night and the Hawks' schedule is pretty heavy in late January and February. I reckon MAF will play more than intended as a result and will have his hands full without Lanks as his backup.

3 weeks is the initial thought

Lank's has a track record. Athletic ability. He's a fine backup.
