Is Brendl really coming back for 3 meaningless games? I say we let Pete get at him in training camp, then put him back on the ice and see what he's got.

Uh-Oh...Battaglio's had talked to him the other night after the Habs game while he was signing a Lowell card for her. She asked if he'd be back in Raleigh on Sunday, and he held up his taped-up left hand and said that he'd broken a finger, so he didn't think he'd be back.

But if he's being recalled, then perhaps he had x-rays and they came back negative.
