I was thinking the same thing ap4mvp. I kind of thought he was rushed back after the mono thing too.

How can you not want to rush Ben back at the beginning of the season he needed to get as much seasoning as posibble(kind of like the polish sausage)

If any player was rushed back from the mono thing i'd say it would be Logan Kalis. When you're using only 4 d-men how can you not. I hear that Ben wants to return to the action soon but i doubt the coaches will want to rush him this late in the season and the team has been playing well without him. Its nice to see the second and third lines putting some pucks in the net. One problem i do see is the second line is a little greedy they take some poor shots instead of passing the puck to a linemate.

Chris Sylvester has really stepped up his game over the past year and is looking like a strong candidate for 1st line but we'll worry about that later. Also Anez has been quietly having an excellent season on the blue line he isn't flashy but makes smart defensive plays. Ben we miss ya but don't hurry back your buddies are doing well without you, return when you are a 100% cause they'll need you come sections

Your right darkdemon with the second line getting to greedy with the puck and won't pass it to a linemate. I think some of the players are just trying to pad their stats after they get up on a team by five or six goals. As for Anez, he is the most underrated player on team. He always makes the right decisions with the puck and thinks of the team first! Some of the Forwards on the second line should take some notes!

So what is the rumor now? Ben suppose to be back this week? I thought he was going to be out for more then three weeks, has it been that long already? I agree with you all. Get to that 100% mark, or it will end up hurting you in the long run!
