from Elliotte Friedman of CBC,
• In 1999, the Senators waited 64 days between suspending Alexei Yashin for not reporting, and then suspending him for the season. New York will have to follow similar protocol to have Nabokov’s deal carry over to next year, but I can’t imagine it will be that long because we’re talking March 30. If he doesn’t show up soon, the goalie will be shut down so he can’t walk in for Game 78 and say, “Hey, I’m ready to play.”
• One of the biggest second-half stories will be recoveries of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Crosby being cleared for light workouts isn’t reason for optimism yet, because concussions can play havoc with this step. Malkin told The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette yesterday his knee was 100 per cent, but there are skeptics who feel he’ll need surgery. We’ll see.
