Speaking of healthy, was Bolduc's high ankle sprain ever confirmed? Last I heard, he had the tests...
Nothing. It's almost as if there was some accident during the MRI.
Tough injury.

"That was the hardest one to come back from," said Bieksa. "I got hurt the second day of training camp and I honestly thought every day that next week I'll be OK. You feel like you're so close, but you're not. After three or four weeks it wasn't getting any better and we immobilized it and put a splint on it."
I hope Perrault comes up. Rypien has proven he cannot do the job. Last game trying to break out instead of passing the puck to Glass he hit him with a wrist shot to the stomach. 4th line centers are still centers and need to be able to handle the puck. With Glass Debiens and Rypien who can carry the puck on their own zone? Perrault obviously would be an upgrade so would Hodgson, Blizak, Schoeder and Rosa. Anyone of them would be a better NHL center than Rypien. Jeff Tambellini looked better.

I spit my beer out I was laughing so hard when I saw that play. It looked ridiculous.
Saw the replay on Ballard's injury, his head hit the glass like the end of a 2x4, you could see right after he was in a world of pain yet managed to make it back to the bench on his own steam - Ballard is one tough cookie.

Lets hope its not as bad as it looked.
Yeah, he looked very wobbly after that hit, and apparently didn't feel well. From sportsnetmurph:

AV - Ballard didn't feel well, we still don't know what it is, and he'll be re-evaluated tomorrow.
Didn't look good....shoulder lowered and skated right to the bench immediately knowing something wasn't right. I hope it just popped out and they were able to pop it back. A muscle tear could be bad news. Aaron Rome can "shoulder" the load of Ballard for a few weeks.
