Blackhawks defenseman Viktor Svedberg, who hasn’t played a single minute in the 2015 playoffs, created buzz before Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.
The 6-foot-9 defenseman had to duck his head while walking through the doors in the United Center.
Fun fact: Viktor Svedberg has to duck when walking into the #Blackhawks dressing room while wearing skates.

Svedberg can fight for a 6-foot-9 fellow, as well.
In the rookie game, back in September, Svedberg took on Pittsburgh Penguins forward Clark Seymour, who is 6-foot-5.
Then Svedberg fought Colin Fraser during an AHL game.
And Svedberg even dropped the gloves with his own teammate, forward Phillip Danault, during a team scrimmage.
If Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville chooses to play Svedberg, a big, tough and physical presence will join the Blackhawks’ defense.
