I hope he will be OK but don't miss him on the B's. Looks like Looch 's game has improved since Nate left.

Come on LF there's fantasy implications here too! Tuukka needs to play like Fuhr did... every game.
From Amalie Benjamin of the Boston Globe:

Guess that standing O will have to wait until next season.

Last I heard, Horton had a setback and was placed on long-term IR for another few weeks at least.
I really, really hope not. The guy needs rest. It looks like Johnson is getting the start tonight anyways.

Sorry...fantasy hockey doesn't do it for me. Chad is a fine backup and Tuukka needs to rest.
If Rask feels OK to go I don't see the big deal playing him considering they all have until next Thursday to rest.

Exactly. I've always felt Rask is better the more he plays - some great goalies are like that.

Whomever the coach decides to start in net is OK with me. He doesn't ask me what I think

Me too. I just hope Claude doesn't play Johnson if Rask says he would be fine to go. Now if they played in 2 days and another 2 days after that I would definitely play Johnson.
If Johnson plays I hope its because Tuuka is too sore and would rather not. That said, I have liked the play of Chad Johnson.
Am I the only one who has been noticing that Rask is been getting up pretty slow after some saves these past two weeks? I don't know, maybe I'm just being too worrisome about him or something.
I don't believe so, he's never been expected back before mid- to late December. He's skating now, but still has weakness, pain, and limited mobility in the shoulder. Said to be normal and expected, though. I don't know where the CBS reports may have originated.
Quite interestingly, yes I did a couple times 2-3 games ago but haven't noticed/thought to look for it since then.
The only reason I took note of him getting up slower then usual in this short year was because I recall seeing him get up faster then a monkey in the beginning of the season. I also remember a lot in the beginning of last year he took forever to get up after a save. Me and my folks would be yellin' at the tv last season "GET UP RASK WTF," lol.

Giving Johnson some time in goal might be the deal.
After that we play MTL, PIT and TOR ... I highly doubt he will play in any of those.
Next game would be at Calgary or Edmonton which would result in a layoff of almost 3 weeks for him. Not a good idea imo.
