-As reported everywhere Daniel Alfredsson will play tonight.  Ian Mendes Tweets that Jakob Silfverberg thinks he's playing tonight (Paul  MacLean was cagey in confirming it), which makes me think Mark Stone and Bobby Butler will come out of the lineup (speculation on my part). -Michael...

-Craig Anderson talked about the win last night We’ll enjoy this on the plane ride home, but when the sun comes up (Sunday) we know it’s all business again. It’s a great a feeling. You play 82 games during the regular season to get this...

-Ian Mendes Tweets his belief that Mark Stone will play tonight. -Kyle Turris talked about the magic of Kaspars Daugavins: Kaspars Daugavins came up to me before the game and gave me some magic. Earlier in year I was going through a slump, and I...
