Short and sweet blog since I am about to hit the Florida casinos trying to get dough from old people in poker.

NYI's website reports that Dubie will start tonight.TSN reports DP will likely be back Saturday vs NJ. Logan's blog on Newsday pretty much scooped TSN, as usual, as it seemed a mere knee sprain. Day-to-day for little Ricky.

Isles had a big win last night, and it was quite nice for our old friend Jason Blake to supply the puck so conveniantly. And a nice refreshing change since we usually do the same thanks to MAB and Comrie.

Senators, unlike the uneven Toronto Mapleleafs, will be a much harder task. If Dubie was hot for action, well, tonight he's got it. This is a big game for the Isles who has yet to show a command to take on top teams. With Dubie, that task gets harder. Isles must respond and continue the effort, win or loss. That is as important as the two points at stake.

Check for updates here later.
