What team beat writers are saying this afternoon:
- The lines from Capitals practice today. Kozlov back skating.
- Don Brennan defends Chris Neil’s hockey playing ability. I agree with Brennan here.
- Martin Brodeur says he feels he’s at 90%. As he gets better, the rest of the Eastern Conference gets progressively more nervous.
- A couple lineup notes from Bruins practice. The team is hoping Ryder isn’t out too long.
- The Ducks really miss Sammy Pahlsson. Players like Pahlsson are under appreciated until they get hurt and fans see how much the team misses them.
