On the Michael Kay Show, Alain Vigneault said this about Henrik Lundqvist being cleared to return to practice: “We don’t have a date yet. Our challenge is finding adequate practice time to get Hank up to speed. Looking at the schedule, we have one practice on Friday and then our next one is the following Wednesday and it will take him more than a couple of team practices to get up to speed. A goalie needs to track the puck and practice with bodies in front of him and with our schedule we don’t have the opportunity to give Hank a lot of practices. I haven’t set a date, we will talk to him an see how he feels, it will obviously take a little bit of time here because we don’t have the practice possibilities.” He added, “Tomorrow he will be practicing, probably with Benoit Allaire early in the morning, and we will do the same on Thursday even though it’s a scheduled day off for the players. His first team practice will be Friday. It will be challenging to find the right quality of practice for him to feel right to perform but I am confident that in the next couple of weeks we will be able to do that.”
Once asked of one Joe Flacco. Actually, Many times. Now that Fitzpatrick is with the Jets the media can pick on him. Lundquist wins a Stanley cup and that talk can circulate.
Good to see he's on the mend. Talbot has been stellar. Too bad the rest of the team is skating in a fog. For those who question this statement...... the way the team is missing the net of late, the "fog" must be blocking their sight! LOL
