It is pretty crazy. First the mumps are the sickness of the season. Second we cannot seem to be healthy for any stretch of games. Now no Brass for at least a few. Back to NY which means out at least 2 games, and we'll see about at Carolina in 6 days. -AV on Brassard (cont’d): “He played head up against Sidney (Crosby) last week. Maybe Sid gave it to him. Derick Brassard has the mumps and is being sent back to New York. (John Shannon) Hank is in goal tonight.
