As expected, Lauri Korpikoski skated in place of Aaron Voros on the Dubinsky line in practice today. Speaking of Dubinsky:
I like the guy, he plays hard and gives it his all, but do you think maybe he might be better served watching a game (especially with a back to back this weekend) up in the press box? It would give Dan Fritsche an opportunity to at least get some game action and maybe give Dubinsky a fresh start in his return to the lineup. It could do wonders mentally. Now if Fritsche were to return to the lineup and score a hattrick...nah, that won't happen. Just try it for one game. Assure Dubi he'll be back in the lineup the next game. It might not make much sense considering he had a few of scoring chances last night, but 1 goal in 31 games might warrant a break from the action.
Henrik Lundqvist is the lone Ranger representative on the Eastern Conference all-star squad. Now let's just hope he does not pull something in the skills competition.
