Working it out
Arrive early to practice in the next couple weeks, and you're likely to see Justin Williams on the ice, in a no-contact yellow jersey, skating. Williams is still roughly two weeks away from playing, but he has been cleared to skate (but not yet handle pucks). Williams fractured either the middle finger (I believe) of his left hand, and the fracture ran from his second knuckle down to the hand. Terry Murray wants Williams on the ice as much as possible as the finger heals...
MURRAY: ``Yeah, I'd like to see him out there every day now, to get his legs going again. That's just a broken bone, and when you get that OK from the doctor, you want to hit the ice full stride. There's probably a need for a lot of skating to be done over the next couple of weeks.''

i thought this was kind of interesting.
"He has posted a 2-2-2 mark with a 2.91 GAA and a .911 SV% since joining Vancouver in a trade with Los Angeles on Dec. 30." said about JLB since being traded. typical streaky JLB eh?
middle finger, left hand, I guess we know what he thought of the referees in Montreal.
Andrew,
Interesting about Labs. Of course, 2.91 isn't great and with only 6 games the stats can be a little padded, sort of like a batting avg. in the begginning of a baseball season. That's why I don't see what all the analysts were talking about with the Wild's backup. Only had a dozen or so games under his belt. Let Backstrom walk for him? C'mon.
