The Injury Walrus is loose in the Igloo.

Crosby, Talbot, Hossa: out for tonight’s game vs. Buffalo.

I’ve seen conflicting reports concerning the severity of Petr Sykora’s back spasms and his status for tonight’s game.

Crosby will be back for the Flyers game.  Taking tonight off allows him to get a full week of rest before he dominates Philly.

Gary Roberts: still out.  Hopefully he makes it back for the final week of the regular season, and we can enjoy him burying people in the playoffs.

Adam Hall and Kris Beech’s injuries have been somewhat overshadowed by those previously listed.  

The Pens top line tonight?

Malone-Malkin-Dupuis/Kennedy?

The Flyers come to town on Sunday.

I hate the Flyers.

It’s possible the Flyers’ game Sunday is a big reason guys are taking a breather tonight.  I bet if Philly was in town this evening, we’d see a few of the aforementioned players dress for the game.   I could be dead wrong. 

I’m going crazy waiting to see Hossa on Crosby’s wing.
