This will DEFINITELY be interesting. Anything could happen here. It's not automatic that he'll be back. I hope he does get back for the playoffs though, NO EXCUSES....

According to the article i was reading, not from ESPN, he isn't expected to actually play until may

apparently he's ahead of the originally projected schedule for his return, but the med staff has said that they dont know if he will be back ahead of the timeline or not...he's only gonig to skate for 10 minutes on thursday...but hopefully, he'll keep on healing quickly...having him back woud really pick up the morale of the team...AVS in 2002!

Not trying to piss on the camp fire or anything but....

Foppa hasn't played hockey for ten months and while he is in the same league as Mario I don't expect him to come back and then have Joe's scoreing rocket the way Jagr's did last year.

I don't want him to return ahead of schedule, or to race ahead and then go down for next year.

The team is struggleing to find it self right now, it always does when there is an addition or subtraction to the team, most do. I don't want him to return in the middle of a series and send the team into a slump. If he is comeing back he HAS to be back BEFORE the playoffs, you can't make a comeback in the middle of the playoffs, PERIOD.

That said, if he comes back at any point you wont hear me complaining, I'm just putting a few words of caution to the debate.

GO AVS GO 2002
