Minnesota goalie Josh Harding, playing for the first time since surgery to repair a partially torn hip labrum, was carried off the ice after a collision midway through the first period in the Wild's pre-season game against the St. Louis Blues on Friday night.

I don't think Testwuide deserves a spot in the top 6.

Just because he has size doesn't mean he is good for that line. From watching him he really doesn't use it.

Dear incompetent morons running NHL Network,

You might not want to scroll the score of the game you're replaying on the bottomline, you ****ing ***holes.

That's unfortunate. Who took a run at him?

i remember last year when he took that other shot off teh finger, he played throu it to..

he seems liek the type to not make a fuss.. perhaps thats why he played out teh game then went out ???

just guessing here...

i just hope the reason he didnt get to do the shootout was his call and not someone elses..

yeah, I want some skill on the checking line; but I also didnt know where else to put him, but want him on one of the lines.

Not bad. COuld of scored a goal tonight had an open net but missed. Good passes, nice speed. He is getting there.

well, that's certainly understandable and debateable. I like his grit along the boards, and he has some speed. I'm not sure he has the skill to be on one of the FLyers top 3 lines, but I certainly think he has some potential.

If I were to 100% guess the lineup for regular season, it would be

Carter-Richards-Zherdev
Hartnell-Briere-Leino
JVR-Giroux-Guerin
Shelly-Betts-Lappy

Powe takes Betts spot till healthy.

Thats what I envision as well.

I wish I didn't see Guerin in that 3rd line RW spot but I'm afraid thatis the likely plan. I'd rather see Carbomb or a youngster but I'm afraid the writing is on the wall.

I would suspect lower body, more so than anything, based solely on his positioning during the visit by the trainer. But that's just a guess.

No, if we can afford to sign him, then I think we should, even if he doesn't play regularly. What is the maximum players you can have on the roster? 24? Anyway, maybe we have to not roster any rookies, unless there are injuries and a need for callups. Yes, that would mean Testwuide doesnt make the starting roster....

Since no one else has mentioned it, Marshall is injured and skating with Pronger, Leino. Don't remember exactly, but he had surgery on a hip problem.

This cracks me up. Reason? The writer is ReporterChris from the Canadian Press. First tweet:

Need help from those watching the #leafs at home. Could you tell if puck went of Kessel's stick on replay?

and then:

Thanks all. We don't get a great replay in the press box and I'm on deadline!

So my guess is a bunch of Leafs fans tweeted him and said we wuz wobbed!

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Lower back issue is the first word according to Homer.

Does anyone know if there will be a video recap? I absolutely need to save that dirty Giroux goal.

I think the game is on NHL Network now, if you have access.

they had a 6 min recap on the leafs web site for last night so i suppose there will be one for tonight game.

[LeafSadist]

Good game tonight. That call in overtime was brutal, but it happens.

Sick moves by Giroux and Briere, especially Giroux. What a player he is, you guys are lucky to have him.
