What team beat writers are saying early this afternoon:
- Thrashers forward Colby Armstrong will be wearing a microphone on the ice for tonight’s tilt with Boston. Good way to keep fan attention.
- All members of the NHLPA will vote within 60 days whether to terminate the current CBA or not. I don’t think there is any chance they terminate the CBA. The consequences of such a move would be crippling for the NHL.
- Brenden Morrow is out until May but he still wants to hang out with his teammates. Good leader.
- Dave Staples reviews last night’s game for Oilers fans and says they now know how San Jose felt on Saturday night. Staples continues to be one of the best-reads out there.
- Tomas Vokoun gets the start tonight for the Panthers versus Calgary. The Flames should be thankful that they are missing Craig Anderson because he’s been on absolute fire.
- Mike Green needs to pass a strength test and then he’ll be cleared to return to the line-up tonight. The Capitals are finally getting healthy so watch out.
