Whats with hughes? Still crook or what?
Green said he skated today but has been off for a long time and will need time to get conditioning back.
He wants to play him as soon as he can and (we'll see).
tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, Damn! ran out of ticks.
Who the (expletive), knows.
Starting to doubt.
Its simple, Hughes could play, Teves could play, Baertschi could play. But we have won three in a row and Green is going to stick with the winning lineup. We aren't mathematically eliminated so Green has to try to ice the guys he feel give us the best shot at winning while rewarding the guys that just won three in a row. If you want guys to play hard down the stretch you have to reward then when they do.
Im fine if we don't see Baertschi at all the rest of the way, unless we make the playoffs then we could use his offence.

Hughes just had another cat scan. He isn’t fit to play
