Hal Gill left practice a couple days ago with a foot injury and won’t be playing tonight – he’s out 2-3 weeks.

Pansy. He could still play – he can’t possibly skate any slower, even with a broken foot.

Eh, maybe the habs are just using this as an excuse to keep him down?

How do you know about ticket availability? Maybe if they didnt jack up prices or a thousand of them make it on to stub hub, that wouldnt happen.

I don’t know about you but I would rather pay up for a game when the entire team is healthy and playing well. Ticket sales at this point I’m sure are hurting not just because of pricing but also knowing some big names will not be suiting up.
