Well, it sure looks like Kuzy is going to play regardless of the extent of his injury


Glad to see it. They have some miracle stuff in those needles, to be sure.

Had my first steroid shot yesterday. In the elbow. Good times.

Yeah, full participant in practice. Trotz called him a "game time" decision and OV said "I’m pretty sure he’s going to be okay tomorrow.”

Must have just jammed it bad or sprained it a little. Must not have broke anything if he's back that fast.

Fantastic news.

What do you hockey fans really think of this guy? I see him as a carnival show, a clown who is not to be taken seriously so because of that I never hated him I just dismissed him. Wondering how the hockey folks feel about him.

since there have been some rules questions over the last page, i'll go ahead and ask the one i've always wondered about:

you occasionally see the ref send off a player from the faceoff circle, making another player from his team take the faceoff. What exactly did that player do to warrant being sent off?

He is the 80 year old uncle at the family reunion. Kinda obligated to spend a few minutes with him, ignore most everything he says, then get out with your sanity intact.

IMO his heart is generally in the right place but time has taken its toll.

Hope someone can take a shot at this. Rules have changed over the years and I am not up on the current state. The general idea is one player must line up first then the other before the puck is dropped. Kind of like the O linemen in football. If the player does not set himself he gets waved out.

Kinda like John Madden back in the day
