Late Breaking Updates and Notes for Friday, March 10
Jiri Slegr, who has played just 32 games for Boston this season, is scheduled to undergo surgery today on a ruptured disk. "That's the way it is, I'm out for the season," said Slegr. Boston Globe
Kings forward Pavol Demitra moved a bit closer to returning to the lineup, as the blood behind his right eye has dissipated, but he will have to wait until a follow-up examination today before he will be cleared to play. LA Times
Wild RW Marian Gaborik did not practice Thursday because of illness. He will be re-evaluated today. Pioneer Press
Nashville's Kimo Timonen, who missed last night's game with a bruised hand, is hopeful of returning tomorrow, as is Scottie Upshall, out a second straight contest with a bruised hip. Scott Walker had his wrist reexamined on Wednesday. It looks like he's out 10 more days. The Nashville Tennessean
Devils defenceman Richard Matvichuk has already missed three games due to a bad back and underwent an MRI on Wednesday, which proved inconclusive. His return date in unknown. Patrik Elias (ribs) practiced Yhursday and said he expected to play tonight, although he does not feel 100 percent. He said conditioning would be a concern. Bergen Record/Star Ledger
Flyers defenseman Derian Hatcher underwent an MRI on his right knee and has no more than the bruise that was originally diagnosed. According to GM Bob Clarke, Hatcher will play Saturday against Buffalo. Delaware County Times

A pigeon to be exact.
For the second game night in a row, a pigeon, apparently a resident of the old MCI Center/new Verizon Center rafters, has ventured out to meet the fans and join in on the fun on the ice! Monday’s appearance during the Islanders game was kept to just some flying exercises and the occasional stop on top on the crowd-protective end nettings.
Wednesday’s venture during the Pittsburgh Penguins visit was quite different—the pigeon wanted to play! After a nice stare-down with the zamboni during first intermission, the Rally Pigeon (as Caps fans are calling the bird on the Caps Fan Forum) decide he wanted to give captain Jeff Halpern a break and was ready to take a face-off.
Several in fact.
Fixated on the rink’s red dots—the bird only moved when confronted with big Olie Kolzig’s stick, or that other bird at the other net, Pittsburgh’s goaltender Sebastien Caron.
Oh yeah, and breakout by our #8 Alexander “The Great” Ovechkin. Needless to say, two wins in the bag for the Caps and ownership agrees— the pigeon stays!
