EDMONTON -- Hello from Canada's City of Champions, where it's about 35 degrees out, the sun is shining and I feel bad about saying Edmonton was worse than Ottawa.
This feels like South Beach right now compared to what I left behind. It's sweatshirt weather right now. Feeling almost balmy (if you can ignore all the snow on the ground).
Just spoke to Pete DeBoer and he confirmed Craig Anderson goes tomorrow against the Oilers, with Tomas Vokoun getting his first start in weeks Friday in Calgary. Who starts Sunday against Vancouver -- rumor is old pal Roberto Luongo could be healed by then and in net -- is up in the air.
''I think Craig found a way to win us a game the other night, no matter how it looked,'' DeBoer said. ''He made some big saves in the third period and overtime. It was a critical two points. The guys in the room expect him to start. He went into a tough situation, a tough situation and got us a win. If Tomas was in the same spot, I'd be doing the same thing with him.''
Team had a spirited if not very long practice today somewhere in the Edmonton suburbs. I got delayed two hours today in Ottawa and missed it. The team will not be making any roster moves, so that means the five players who are on the injured list will remain there for the time being.
More as the day goes on.
I'm heading to the pool.
