Well, he was minus eight over that four-game pointless drought. Also doesn't have much talent around him apart from when he's been combined on a line with Couturier. Schenn's two way game has absolutely improved; which doesn't mean there isn't still room for more growth.

Giroux is doing fine. He's been skating and hasn't had any reported setbacks. I think he's waiting to see if the lockout is resolved before making a decision about a timetable to return to Berlin.

Meszaros is status quo. Progressing, figures to play if there's a season but there's also an issue of allowing him as much time as possible to recover b/c a lot of players struggle for awhile after returning from achilles tears.

It turns out that Bryzgalov wasn't joking about the whole cosmonaut training/space suit thing. He really was at the Russian Federal Aerospace headquarters being filmed for a television segment at the time he told the Sport Express reporter he couldn't talk because he was doing cosmonaut training and wearing a space suit.

I think the Flyers are going to have some issues at the defenseman position if there is ever a Season this year.

They're certainly going to need a LOT from Coburn and Timonen.

Hilarious about Bryz. I wish the Philly media and the fans would just let this guy be himself.

We would all be so much better for it, and I think he would play better too.

It doesn't mean there will be disclaimer filed or, even if there is, it won't be rescinded before there is a CBA agreement finished. It's a required procedural step to make the decertification tactic possible. What it DOES do is turn up the pressure both on Fehr and Bettman to avoid their respective nuclear options.

#NHL announced today it filed a class-action complain in New York Federal Court, and an unfair labor practice charge with the NLRB. #NHLPA

Helene Elliott ‏@helenenothelen

NHL just filed complaint in federal court in NY seeking declaration confirming the ongoing legality of the lockout.

This should seal what the players do & get even uglier

James Mirtle @mirtle

Part of NHL's filing includes section requesting declaration that "all existing contracts between NHL players and teams would be void."
