The Chicago Blackhawks took the lead early in the contest against the St. Louis Blues last night, and even with the lead one player looked extremely shaky from the start. That player of course was Trevor van Riemsdyk who was fumbling pucks early in the game, and struggling to clear pucks deep in his own end.
The stat line for TVR is as follows:
0 Goals 0 Assists 0 Points 4 penalty Minutes 16:06 Time on Ice
The fact that TVR was with Duncan Keith to hide him seems like a tactical error by Joel Quenneville instead of burying him in the third pairing like Q usually does, and just play him in only optimal situations instead of throwing him out there when the Hawks needed solid minutes from their defenseman.
