Off-topic, Colby Armstrong is out 4-6 weeks with a finger injury. Karma? Perhaps.
2 questions...Nigel Dawes still with the big squad? Or is he sent down? #2 is why isn't Gaborik skating with his separated shoulder???
@Anon - just a guess, but Gaborik may not have full range of motion with his shoulder yet. If not, it could throw off his skating, which could do who knows what to his lower body, especially considering his history. Likewise, you don't want him falling on an already injured shoulder quite yet... But like I said, just a guess.
It's impossible to skate for the purpose of maintaining endurance without using your upper body.
Dawes got sent down a week or so ago.
Wow, I would have had to write something nice about Eminger if that went in.
