We're back

Back in Frisco, that is. Half the Stars skated, the other half (mainly the guys who were playing 50-plus minutes on Sunday/Monday) were resting their probably-still-weary bones. Big ol' media throng out in Frisco today. Guess that's what happens when a team gets into the Western Conference Finals.

Anyway, not a ton to report today. I couldn't remember if I posted this or not yesterday, but Stu Barnes isn't skating yet. He said he's hopeful that he'll play in this series. But if he's not even skating right now, it doesn't look good.

Philippe Boucher skated for about 15 minutes on Wednesday. Again, his status is still highly doubtful. The boys are pretty happy right now, still living off the fumes of Game 6. We'll see what this translates into in the Motor City.
