They might need them during the Olympics. We shall see.

It feels like they are waiting until after the first rivalry series games to get a better idea of who might actually be lost to the olympics. Alternatively the strategy might be, to paraphrase a former men's coach, to put the hay in the barn early and just hope for the best when their best players are missing.

None of the post-game coverage mentioned Laney at all. I sincerely hope that means that nothing happened that was worth mentioning. She's such an important part of the D. A "bad bruise" would be so much better than another unspecified "lower body injury."

She was sitting on the bench pre-game with Laila and Simms and at least one Gorbatenka, but I didn't happen to see her walking in or out to see how well she was moving etc.

They mostly rolled five D players, including Jones, with an occasional shift to Bickett later on.

If they didn't dress either frosh Gorbatenko, you gotta think they're trying/hoping to redshirt them. I mean, otherwise why not dress one of them as the 'extra' today?

I think they said on the radio that it was a knee. I was hoping for just some bruising.

Another nugget from the radio broadcast was they were recruiting a player from Russia. PB brought it up and Greenie said something to the effect of "I don't know/not sure about that". Either PB was having a Sr. moment or he just spilled the beans on a recruiting coup. He was talking about international recruits and I thought he was going talk about Nela Lopušanová, but the Russian thing came out instead.

Between periods 2 and 3 MJ was not happy with their puck management (were outshot 14-8 for heavens sake). Getting outshot by the purple ladycows is very disturbing considering they will have to fix that under severe duress this weekend. Missing 3 of their top players doesn't help that I'm sure. I have to believe either Simms and/or Edwards will be back this weekend by what I saw Saturday.
