Where's Dustin?

I would actually say that you could have asked this all year.
He's been kinda a non-factor for the first fifth of the season. He's played hard and has been a physical presence, but has certainly not been able to put the puck in the net. His line has been solid, and they are great defensive forwards, but the Selke trophy is not really something you aim for.

Now, after last night's trouncing of the Stars, we have new reason to believe he may soon be even more invisible. After stepping onto the ice briefly at practice, Buff left and went back to the hotel and was unavailable for comment after the game. With the new NHL rule in place that protects coaches from having to talk about injury, it was clear that Q did NOT want to talk about it. Even Dave Bolland, when interviewed between the first and second, was cut off when mentioning that it would be "sad to see Buff..."

Could it be the Nylander trade?
Could we possibly dump Sopel too?
This might just squash the chances of seeing a Sundin jersey with an indianhead but i think that we need to grab a center now.
While we're winning.
annnnnnnd i think you're with me when i say that i don't want that trade to involve Nik.

My how the tables turn so fast.

DT has gotten himself into a jam and hopefully he'll come out smelling better than he does right now.

We'll likely know by tomorrow when they take on the Laffs.

Everyone take a deep breath. We're beatin the circus 2-0
