Thats great news for our power play and perhaps save us a power play against...or two.

Let me be the first to say it.....I like having Downie in the lineup. I know he's in the box a lot, but he provides a lot of emotion and energy and that is a big plus in the playoffs. Plus, he gets into the opponents' heads and draws a lot of penalties as well. So, let's discuss, if we leave Downie in and Knuble is back - who would you take out of the lineup? I would say Thoresen or Dowd - and not that those guys haven't been playing well...

I guess this means I'll be scratched again.

Dowd is needed for faceoffs. Thoresen can skate and forecheck. Neither of them have commited a bad penalty in a long time. Downie is by far the slowest Flyer besides Riley Cote. I like Downie, and hope he takes power skating lessons in the offseason to improve, but he'll be a scratch again with Knuble's return.
