Cammy talks about rib injury
Crawford still calls him doubtful. He's going to make the trip, so there's a chance he plays. But Cammy seems unsure of what to make of his injury at this point.
``I’ll do whatever I can to try to get in the lineup,'' Cammalleri said. ``We’ll see what happens. We'll see what tomorrow brings. There's been a little bit of improvement. I've never had this before. There's certain things you've had before where you know what to expect, know the feeling and can reflect on experience to guide you. This I've never had so I'm not really sure what I’m feeling. If I feel I can help the team at all, I’ll be in the lineup.''
