Post-practice update

OK, we're back...
Got to talk to Mark Parrish after practice, and to say he's excited about the opportunity would be selling the situation short. "Estatic?" he said. Parrish said he was absolutely thrilled when he found out the Stars were interested, and a chance to catch up with some old friends (Mike Modano, Toby Petersen) was even better. He'll be wearing #37, by the way.

Updates on everyone else... Sergei Zubov was out there and looked good. Shocking. Are we surprised when he looks good? I mean really. He is who he is, and that's one unbelievable player. Dave Tippett said Zubov was in early today, so you know the guy is just dying to get back on the ice.

Little clarification on the Steve Ott. He started practice, and then he and Brenden Morrow left early with lower-body injuries. Doesn't sound bad, just letting them get off work a bit early. Jere Lehtinen did skate prior to the other guys this morning, and Tippett said they're hoping he'll practice tomorrow.
    Lines today (take with a heaping spoon o' salt):
    Morrow-Ribeiro-Eriksson
    Avery-Modano-Brunnstrom
    Richards-Parrish (missing bodies, although Stu Barnes cameoed on the wing!)
    Barch-Petersen-Crombeen

Good,

Any player is better when they're happy, espically when they are ecstatic! I don't totally see his style fitting ours though, like JL taught and still teaches a very different style than Dave does.

Oh and Zubov is skating? I didn't expect him to be on the ice, but man, am I ever happy! He is going to help his so much when he comes back, when is he expected?

Even though the upper body injury doesn't look bad it may be worse than it seems! I don't mind that Ott is out as much as I do about Morrow though as Steve seriously deserves this after what he was acting like against Boston! Do you still think Morrow and Ott will be 100% though? As Anaheim is always tough and as much as I hate Ott for what he did in Boston, we need him to whup Duck butt!

Thanks,
A.R.C.

what happened to the weekly video blog? It needs to be WEEKLY! i really appreciate it, but I wish it was higher quality. I'll probably get censored for saying that, oh well..
