Justin Williams update
Justin Williams' recovery, from his broken finger, is continuing on schedule. Based on the initial estimate, and Terry Murray's comments on Sunday, the over/under date for Williams' return would seem to be Sunday's game at Chicago. Williams has been practicing in a yellow no-contact jersey and has been handling/shooting pucks.
Question: Any update on Justin Williams' status? Will he go on the road trip?
MURRAY: ``Yes, he will go on the trip. It's getting very close. After we practiced (Saturday) in San Jose, his passing comment was, `I think I'll be ready to go in a week.' I don't know, right now, when the doctor will give him clearance or if there is another appointment. I'll check on that and get that information. But he's getting itchy. You can see him jumping in more on the drills. He wants to be a part of it and he's got a real itch to get back to playing.''

If we can just play like we did against SJ, but finish our open looks... and put together a little 3 game winning streak against some solid competition, it would be an awesome way to initiate JW into the lineup against Chicago! Win that one and then...
We have the Blues, Stars, Preds, and Blues...all ahead of us.
How about a little 8 game winning streak folks?
He scored a hat trick in his first game with LA, has 6 goals in 3 games while also picking up an assist in each of those last 3 games. Thats 9 points in 3 games!!!!
...On my xbox360 nhl'08 game. Also, i kept sully and sent a player i created with just enough skill points to allow the trade.
