@ MTL

ala TBO

LEFT BEHIND: A handful of players remained in Tampa and did not accompany
the team to Montreal on Monday.

Vinny Lecavalier, Vinny Prospal, Ruslan Fedotenko, Andreas Karlsson
(fatigued groin muscle) and Cory Sarich were given tonight off and will
practice in Tampa. Denis also was left behind because of a minor immigration
issue that needs to be cleared up.

Rookie goaltender Karri Ramo will join the team today and serve as the
backup to Holmqvist, while Blair Jones will also catch up with the team and
replace Karlsson in tonight's lineup.



I kinda wanna hear how Ramo does seeing as how Burke's on waivers and I
think he'll be picked up sooner or later and Tampa LOVES to have goaltending
issues when they don't need it. I say let him start the third, John.
