According to KPD practice has been:

Marco Sturm-Patrice Bergeron-Brad Boyes
P.J. Axelsson-Marc Savard-Glen Murray
Petr Tenkrat-Mark Mowers-Stanislav Chistov
Yan Stastny-Wayne Primeau-Shean Donovan

Does this mean the hapless Primeau and Donovan are finally where they should
have been long ago, on the 4th line or does KPD have it wrong and Primeau's
is the 3rd and Mowers the 4th? Lewis seems to love playing his worst +/-
guys for tons of ice time and special teams so it's hard to see P and D
getting less than Tenkrat and Chistov.

Stephen Harris (Herald) has called for trade help immediately, especially
the need for two defensemen. He can only be talking about replacing Mara and
York who just keep helping the other teams get 35 + shots per game on
Thomas.

On a good note: Phil Kessel is back skating with the team. Amazing.

You'll still see plenty of Primeau and Donovan, I guarantee it. Chistov
needs and deserves more icetime. He hasn't been a huge liability
defensively, so why not? Throw Chara and Alberts out there with them
and let them go at it. I don't see any trades coming anytime soon
(reverse psychology).

Another note: Stuart's agent says they've had talks with Gorton about a
new contract. It's a start.

If the B's had a better team and could go deep into the playoffs, they
could have had Kessel doing TV promos about giving his right nut to
make this club a contender. Takes balls to hit the ice again so soon.
Hey folks, I got a million of 'em. But in all seriousness, thank god it
is a very treatable form of cancer. Nothing worse than seeing someone
so young get hit with a curve like that. I am looking forward to having
him back. He said in his press conference that he hadn't felt well all
season long, so hopefully he's 100% healthy and ready to go.

Right. When he (Lewis) shortens his bench in the 3rd, it'll be Mowers and
co. who get to sit. Lewis is definitely not on the same page as Chiarelli's
philosophy for the team.
