Yeah, McKee out 2-4 weeks...

Gonchar and Talbot could be in the line-up tomorrow.

Weird eh? I think it's been like this for most of the season (when Malkin wasn't hurt). Whatever they are doing is working though. They're still great this year so far, which is quite surprising. I still don't see how they can be as good as they are...

I guess part of the rationale is that Crosby really suffered while Malkin was out, so they want to give him a capable (to understate) linemate.

But I think it'd be smarter to have them on separate lines so that defensive pressure on Crosby is less intense.

Anyway, Malkin appears to be the straw that stirs the drink on the ice in Pittsburgh, even if Sidney wears the C.

I wish Malkin was out. Our D without Volchenkov in the shutdown tandem will not be able to contain him, if he is 100%.

That's very true MOI. We will notice even more tomorrow that he isn't playing. Or....maybe we won't...who even knows anymore how we are going to play on any given night.

Don't you miss the days (it seems oh so long ago) when we would be able to predict when we were going to win and when we were going to lose?

Those were the days...

It's crazy that they have so many guys out, yet still have a threatening squad. Bah. This could be a duel of the goalies.

Is it wrong for me to secretly smile that Gonchar is drawing back in? Last I checked I was still top-ten in the pool (tied for 7th). With Gonchar back and Price playing well, who knows, maybe top-five? It's too early to hope for an assault on Beelzebub -- I mean Beedub -- but some injuries will come his way, too. And I don't mean Komisarek.

You need to check your SIM League Attitude at the door when in the GDT's!!!

That's like playing proline and betting against your team.

10-min major for treason.

Treason, eh? I was born in Russia. Gonchar is Russian.

Россия — священная наша держава,
Россия — любимая наша страна.
Могучая воля, великая слава —
Твоё достоянье на все времена!

Mighty will, great glory = Gonchar
