Feels like he's been out forever.

If he doesn't come out crashing, I don't know what will get him to play right.

Quenneville said Smith was sent to Rockford to get more playing time in offensive situations.

He was playing really well in Rockford. I think it's a good idea to put him back there instead of having him up and not doing much. I love Smith to death, but this is good for him.

He's kind of becoming like Leddy was last year though.

back up with Carbomb hurt.

Called up to be a scratch. Then, sent back down.

How about a little communication between the coaching staff and GM, eh? Or, there was and the training staff was worried about someone else besides Carcillo.

I think smith was maybe just insurance in case someone got hurt during warmups maybe?

Blackhawks are doing "The Leddy" with Smith this year.

Blackhawks are doing "The Leddy" with Smith this year.

No, this is not a cap-strapped team. There's really no need for that.
