He was given a choice. Either have a sore hand or be given a sore hand.

Anderson is actually on the IR effective yesterday (TSN). He won't be playing the next 2 games, at least.

He can play Saturday. They backdated his IR status to Jan 21.

This is what I assumed but I couldn't find confirmation anywhere. I will add a "like" on the twitternet for you. Whatever that is.

Don't just "LIKE" it, TWEET it!

Can I be Assistant to the Director of Social Media?

Look, I'm not trying to push this guy down, but we have a former #2 overall in Ryan who has scored 30+ four times, another former #2 overall in Turris, a former 35-goal scorer in Michalek and Hoffman is leading the team in goals.  That's a sad state of affairs.  Kudos to Mike, but not so good for the team that had playoff aspirations.

6 seasons of 30+ goals. Come on.

Means nothing.  Gretzky scored 92 one year just to show he could, but his game was always more about passing.  Add up Hoffman's goals and assists and then compare to Crosby.  Take primary assists only, if you want.

This makes no sense to me. My point (which I feel was fairly clear) is that Hoffman is scoring at a better pace than a lot of superstars.

He's in the top-40 for goals scored. That's impressive. It's not ideal that we don't have more goal scoring, but unless you're saying that Hoff's dramatically overachieving, I don't understand you.

EDIT: It just occurred to me that if I follow your argument, you're basically saying that Gretzky (the all time leading goal scorer in the NHL) wasn't a goal scorer. Does the word "goal scorer" mean something different to you than "score a lot of goals"?

Good thing we have the new Lidstrom patrolling the blue to make up for the lack of true top-6 forwards.

Oh, we have top six forwards.  Just not six of them.

That's an exaggeration. We have 6 top 6 forwards and one could argue more. The issue is we do not have 3 top line forwards.

i agree. both mac and turris are best suited to being good second line players. Hoffman we wil see. Ryan without a doubt.
i'd say we have one sure fire first line player and thats ryan.
