Frolov won't make trip
Alexander Frolov, who has a groin injury, didn't practice today and won't play tomorrow at San Jose.
``He's still not at the point where he can participate in practice or a game, so he'll be out at least until the weekend,'' Crawford said. ``We thought he'd be skating by now but he's not. It's an injury where I guess the individual has to be the judge of it. We'll have to wait and see how he is (for Saturday).''
Scott Thornton didn't practice either. He's not eligible to come off the injured list yet so he couldn't play tomorrow anyway.

Hopefully Fro can come back ASAP!
Thornton was on the ice for a bit, took part in a couple drills (no contact though).
Are they trying to SAVE him from being injured so they can trade him??
:)
Could be he is going to take his sweet time recovering eh, cause the team has given up on the coach
lol process come on.
There is no point rushing arguably the team's best player back into the line up unhealthy. Playing him hurt rather than at 100% is much more likely to result in him getting even more injured and as a result, staying out even longer.
