It was a sad day when the Hockey Rodent shut things down.

Yes. From what I saw he seems like a cog player. Guys who make smart fast decisions and facilitate. Richards was like that. At the top end there's someone like Backstrom. But at the lower end you're talking John Mitchell.

I meant when he stopped regular blogging - he still posts now and again but not like the old days.

What if The Hockey Rodent is wenevergetagoodcoach and he's been trolling us the whole time? That would be Andy Kaufman level comedic genius.

I liked some of his catch phrases but quite a few of his hot takes where lava like, especially when it came to evaluating Russian players for some reason.

Wow HockeyRodent? That brings back memories. Anyone remember the HockeyBird? Think that was my first Rangers message board.

Assuming Karl Henriksson plays in the CHL games, I will be seeing him early September in Graz, Austria. First opportunity to meet the kid since he was not attending the draft

Hockey bird was linked to Rodent so could be you were thinking of both.

Group stage, 3 home games, 3 away games. Then knock outs with home and away like the Champions League in football.
It's as if my kids have graduated and moved out, but I adopted 2 new kids

My boy Nils is still here though. Future top pair D
He is listed, at least for now, on the J20 roster for Frolunda. Frolunda will be a tough lineup to crack, so he may spend the majority of his year in J20. Who knows, though, he may have a great showing and win a spot. And of course he'll be a primary call-up along with Raymond.

There's a pretty good chance he will play in the CHL early on. Frölunda does that a lot with younger players
