Updates from snowy Calgary
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Made the drive from Edmonton to Calgary last night after the game, which probably wasn’t the smartest decision I’ve ever made. Almost stopped for the night in Red Deer, but figured if I made it that far, I should keep going. Lots of cars in ditches, even one upside down because of the snow and ice. But my rental pulled through, so we made it.
Light practice this morning, about 15 guys skated at the optional practice. Just to catch you all up on news, Darren Haydar was sent to Chicago (AHL) this morning. I know Don and Bob both liked his skills, lots of natural talent there, but with the recent pickups, he got caught in a numbers crunch.
Spoke with Steve Rucchin this morning, and he’s optimistic about a return pretty shortly. He didn’t suffer a concussion, but with head injuries, you don’t want to risk another one in a short period of time after the first one. He should be back on the ice in the next few days and is hoping to play on Saturday, although that might be a bit optimistic. I’ll keep you posted.
