Canes vs. Avs.

[Cane Says]

Any predictions out there. Will Forsberg's leaving give the Canes any kind of advantage? Can the Canes win two in a row?

[Count Cane]

I think a better question is can the Avs lose 2 in a row, as they lost to Chicago last night. What is the deal with Forsberg?

PETER FORSBERG ANNOUNCES HE IS TAKING A LEAVE OF ABSENCE FROM THE GAME OF HOCKEY
STOCKHOLM, Sweden – Colorado Avalanche center Peter Forsberg announced today in Stockholm, Sweden that he has decided to take a leave of absence from the game of hockey.
“I’ve made a tough decision; I just feel that right now, in my current frame of mind I can’t go out and play at the level I expect out of myself,” said Forsberg. “Over the last few years, the numerous injuries and the recent surgeries made me come to this decision. I understand the impact my decision will create, but I want to be honest with myself. I love Denver, I love the fans and this organization. I will truly miss everything.”

of us doing any better than we've done so far. From what I've been told, the flu is ravaging the team. If that is indeed the case, then as long as the team's dealing with that we're in deep kimchi.

Who on the Canes is ravaged with the flu?

[Murphy's Hitman]

The flu bug has been making the rounds of the team for the last week or so (after the Ottawa debacle). David Tanabe's the only guy that's been really laid out by it--but Tommy Westlund has had it, as have quite a few other guys on the team (it's not hard to tell when somebody's ill, you know).

Chris Dingman could play for the 1st time this season tonight for the Canes against his former team. Hopefully he is healty we could use some toughness tonight.
