Wow, I have no better title than that. I must be slipping. That or I need a game to bring back the creativity. Yeah, that's it.
OK, as you can tell it was a quiet morning skate. The big stuff is still about the injuries. Coach Dave Tippett said the B team (i.e. injured boys) skated hard for about a half hour before the healthy culprits on Tuesday morning. A few guys are "very close" for Thursday, obviously good news. Stephane Robidas talked a little about his unjury, but was unsure when he's get the go-ahead. He'll have that familiar cage ready to go. Joel Lundqvist was taking a few hits at Monday's practice, and Tippett said he was feeling good today. So I wouldn't be surprised if we saw him Thursday against Columbus. My guess is Robidas is also for that day.
As for Sergei Zubov, he apparently saw a specialist elsewhere; Tippett hadn't gotten an update on that as of this morning.
You know, last year I never thought I'd say this, but it'll be nice to see Joel back out on the ice.

Joel is a good big game guy, he plays really well in the system. He's on the verge of really carving out his niche in this team in my opinion (if he can just stay healthy). He's not like an Anti or a Jussi that makes you wish he'd live up to his skill level, rather he's a good simple player. The door is certainly open for him this year...
As for Robidas - I think this might be injury that turns the Stars around... Stephane plays his best with that cage, proven last summer. I"m banking on a cage...
