OTB: Brodeur to return tomorrow, no Crosby and Laraque wanting out

What team beat writers are saying this afternoon:

  • Ryan Getzlaf is tougher than you areCan’t help but love this guy.
  • Chuck Kobasew didn’t practice today for Boston.  Nothing serious.
  • Patrick Lalime is questionable for tonight’s game with the flu.  Ahhh the Mika Noronen days…
  • Apparently Daymond Langkow is looking better at practice.  Good news for Flames fans.
  • Big lines changes for the Blue Jackets.  Not the usual lines you see linked here.  I like the switch to get Nash with two offensive players.
  • Dallas lines from practice today.  So many injuries in Big D.
  • Terry Murray was happy with Teddy Purcell’s play last night.  He’s got loads of offensive talent, so as long as he can be solid defensively he should help that team.
  • Looks like Georges wants out of Montreal.  Just when you thought things were getting quiet…
  • It’s official, Brodeur returns to the Devils net tomorrow.  Can’t wait to see how he plays.
  • Sidney Crosby (groin) won’t play tonight against the Islanders.  Good team to skip a game against.
  • Ryan Whitney will also join Crosby on the sidelinesPens need points bad, so they better get healthy quick.
