Depending on how Cincy ends up, Bryzgalov could play for Russia in the World Championships.

no Aaron Rome in the lineup...injury???

no Aaron Rome in the lineup...injury???
I didn't get to listen to the full game so I didn't hear anything. I hope he's not injured, but if he is Jordan Smith should be brought in.

I only listened to the pregame with Brad Shaw...

and he made a comment about how guys like Lupul thrive on the confidence that scoring goals creates
as well as Lupul was playing a bit reckless with the puck
But Brad Shaw was pleased with Lupul scoring from different areas and in different situations...he said guys like Lupul get into hot streaks towards the playoffs and deliver in the clutch
