HankthaTank

He has lower body and he took some time to skate so I am thinking it's a groin or ankle. He has had ankle issues in the past and he did go into the boards kind of strange so I am guessing the amount of time it took for him to get out there skating is a sign it really was lower body. Regardless, if it's without Pav then keep it going like last game. If we played that same style of hockey like we did against Chicago then this should be a steamrolling. I am attending and I feel like this should be a good a time as any to get a W. None of this OT stuff, win in regulation and keep on the Blues. This team doesn't have a whole lot to play for so they will be out there throwing caution to the wind because they are going against us and they know we have been exploited at home. PLAY 60!!! mlive Nothing really to gain to play in this one other than to get his legs under him. Since I will be attending, please play. Thanks.

Truth can sting sometimes but this time off for him was hopefully a positive thing. We really need him to kick it into gear whether people want to accept that or not.

Oh, and just because. HELMMMM!!!!!!

Maybe Mule being around Abby's energy, hustle, and physicality can show the way he really SHOULD be playing. With his hands and watching what Abby brings could really be beneficial to get him going again. Let's just hope he does a lot more than just watch that.

This was awesome. Pash is just simply the best.

I'm done with Spring Training baseball to be honest He always kills us anyway, nothing too new here. April 8th Picked the fantasy team last night and was shocked that I got the 3rd overall pick and Albert somehow fell to me. Winning!

You are back! Wings victory is a sure thing now mayne. Shotgun for an Ericsson goal tonight!!!

Rhymes won't be in the 2 spot against a lefty like CC. Leyland hinted to put Rhymes lower in the lineup against the lefties and having Rabonez up at the 2. I honestly hope he keeps up the tear he closed the year on. Baseball and hockey playoffs coming. START!!!

Ok, so I realize we can create any kind of topic but what's the purpose of a new one daily? Maybe a mastodon sized, "Clean hits penalized" thread could be an idea. This added nothing to the topic but what's a thread everyday going to do other than bring up the same arguments?

Consider me in for Mills or RO Brewery too. I can't decide!

Exactly. And it's not like he hadn't been throwing it because he really is just a battering ram out there for the most part. Just seems like the warmer months have triggered another gear, as it does with all players with the "playoff push". Would love to see his game get even better.

Good to see him "stick up for" Raf on that check. The more you looked at it I would say it was over-analyzed by Mick with the knee being out like that. Either way, it appears that this thread has also worked for mojo with Abby and he has really put together some solid efforts and throwing the weight again on a consistent basis too. Keep it up!

In the spirit of today....everybody now!!!!

A freakin' snipe Happy! Hank's passes just make players shoot harder don't they? (jk eva)

Oh please this. Really though, games like that are just what hockey is all about and the more the NHL figures that out.... Ah, the hell with it. Just something that March 26 date that brings out the best of games isn't it?

With all issues really not just Raf. I am one that thinks he is paid a bit high but will never really lose any sleep over having an elite puck mover and exceptional PP guy such as him.

Win this one because I hate this team more than most in the entire universe of the sporting world. Mule kickback with a goal and a solid night from J Mac. Molsons on a Monday night!

det news Forgive the immediate thread creation upon seeing this but I felt this was too good to not share. Hopefully this is true. It's in the ice chips section at the bottom so not really huge news as of yet but I need any kind of positives on that front really.

It was a tad early my friend, cut me a small amount of slack. But hey, thanks for trolling on in to be the grammar police Wouldn't want him to win any Cups would we?

Well, actually Cleary played on a sprained MCL the entire 2nd half of last year, so my bad. Might have even been a torn meniscus. My memory is a bit off on that one.

Players skate on those a little over a week after it happens??

I still think they are more so erring on the side of caution here. But who really knows, it's been a pretty quiet injury so we will wait and see. Franzen looks to be back, hopefully to play, on Monday.

Because the bulk of the guys on here are reaching so much to get that type of player that he was immediately labeled with it. Maybe some day their dreams can come true.

I didn't think he would be back until the playoffs anyway. He needs to start practicing again first to get optimistic. No worries here. That's epic Pash right there. It's the best when you can hear it being said too.

Well we pretty much knew Pav wouldn't be playing. It's a positive to know that he is going to be getting on skates again which we hadn't heard in too long.
