Kovelev didnt' practice today because he hurt his finger. i did notice him shaking his hand in a simalar motion  as he did in the playoffs too years ago last game but i thought he was faking again. I hope he plays tommorow but if he doesn't i would put up Higgins and leave Pleks on the 4th. Pleks really has not impressed me as much as Higgins, ive always loved the way Higgins plays and i think he would be a great fit with Sak and he played with Perez in Hamilton.
