Posted this in the wrong thread:

My gosh, de Haan just got injured in the post game work out, saying it's back spasms.

Time to get Adam Fox on the phone and convince him to sign.

It's going to be interesting to see who is able to go on Friday. If Ferland, Faulk, and de Haan are all out we could see something like:

Niederreiter/ Aho/ Williams

Svechnikov/ Staal/ Teravainen

Martinook/ McKegg/ McGinn

Maenalanen/ Wallmark/ Foegele

Slavin/ Hamilton

Bean/ Pesce

Fleury/ Van Riemsdyk

Mrazek

McElhinney

So great to see us in the top 3!

Lol at Phaneuf trying to be relevant.

Last night was really fun, besides the injuries. Hoping we don't lose too many players for Friday, should be a really exciting game between two very hot teams.

That wa such a garbage hit. Svech was already on his way down and Phaneuf tried to Erik Cole him.

If we can keep up with our pace since the start of the year, first in the metro isn’t out of the question.... Islanders’ goaltending has cooled quite a bit. This team looks really really good. Just got some tickets to the Bruins game here in Boston next week, should be a good and big one.

The Canes have recalled Jake Bean and Haydn Fleury on an emergency basis with Faulk and de Haan day to day.

It's also reported that Ferland is not expected to miss any time.

Can not wait for Cherry to call Holyfield a jerk!

Great win tonight.

Penguins/ Canadians

Big win.  We need to seal off the back to back.  Penguins vs Canadians...in a weird way is a win win.  I'm not sure if I want to lock up a playoff spot more then seeding or vice versa.

It would be nice if the Oilers could pull the upset...but I'm not holding my breath on that one.  Canes just need to keep taking care of business.  If Pittsburgh falls more then three points back...they could fold.

We just need to keep winning and nothing else matters. But with games like Pens-Habs and Pens-Jackets (I think they play each other twice more) just gotta root for no OT.

We’re about to find out how good we really are.

Our schedule is brutal down the stretch.
