We're not concern. So far the management has kept the media out of the loop and I suspect will continue to do so. Our best guess is Manny will retire.

Ah man that's a shame I am really disappointed about that

That would be awesome if Ryan could come back and play some limited 4th line minutes tomorrow

Somehow I don't see that happening. AV would need to put a leash on Kesler and drag him off of the ice.
If he's ready to go, I think he'll play a decent amount of time.

Probably. But hes been out a long long time with multiple surgery requiring injuries. I think they want him to ease his way back to the second line.

I do think they stick their normal PP unit back together

Sedin Kesler Sedin

Edler Garrison

[pitseleh]

The first PP unit at practice today was Kesler, the Sedins, Burrows and Edler.

[Hammman]

Kesler had 19 minutes in his first game back last year, so I'd expect to see something about the same, maybe slightly lower, in his first game this year.

Sweet, well that should settle it. Surely they don't let Kesler in on the PP practice for just conditioning reasons.

Was Kesler or Burrows on the point?

I hope Kes is, seeing as he's a RHS.

Last time we also didn't have a center like Schroeder who AV trusted in all three zones

I tweeted to him that if he plays tomorrow I will wear a grimace costume behind the bench on Sunday. Motivation

Sometimes things are so obvious, it's hard to screw up....

In other words, you're just coming as yourself?

[David71]

its gonna take some time before kesler is in game-mode. he'll be sluggish. and us fans will whine and moan about him when he starts to play at least 10games.

Correct. He didn't respond

[Astoria]

So AV makes it sound like Kes will be back for tomorrow's game..... But that interview with Kes (Team 1040) sounds like things are still up in the air.... Is Kes just being, well Kes or is there some sort of disconnect between the two?

EDIT: Not an actual interview with Kes, just soundbites...

They ****ing better not be rushing him back, I'll tell you that. If they are, he's not going to be as useful as he could be when he was healed and he is going to miss even more games at the start of next season. And that's a guarantee.

[Wisp]

Jeff Angus seems to think Kesler has been a lot further along than he has been letting on.
