What team beat writers are saying this afternoon:

The Dallas lines without an injured Brad Richards. What about the power play? Word has it Richards will be out 6-8 weeks. Big loss for the Stars, but the turnaround they’ve completed should be attributed to improved defensive play.
Seth Rorabaugh recaps Michel Therrien’s tenure in Pittsburgh. Well written.
Anybody want to drink some cranberry juice? Sick.
Flames and Canucks play a big game tonight. Don’t you feel like Iginla is about to breakout?
Tim Gleason (hand) will miss tonight’s game versus Boston. Glen Wesley night in Carolina.
Martin Brodeur still appears to be on pace to start February 26 against Colorado. Best team in the Eastern Conference right now?
Rostislav Olesz (sports hernia) is back skating for the Panthers. The team needs scoring, so that’s a good thing.
Ville Koistinen will return to the lineup tomorrow against Detroit. He’s been a healthy scratch as of late.
Viktor Kozlov is expected to be out tomorrow night. Still not back yet.
