like he was supposed to be back last night and then they said he was pretty much fine but felt he couldnt skate that good on it yet and wouldnt be back for another possible two weeks, im thinking we dont need you to skate that much cause he never really leads a rush we need some shots fired on net like he does do. ---

Yeah, he doesn’t have to skate that much. It’s only hockey. Since when has skating been a big part. Anyway, great game last night. I see Stafford taking Kotaliks job next year. Free up Kotalik’s and Spacek’s salary and see what you can do to keep Briere and Drury. ---
