Francis was interviewed on RDS before the game tonight and advises that he just had his knee examined again as a result of pain he is still having in it after his operation. The Doctor advises that he will be off skates during rehab until at least the beginning of November. Don't expect his return until mid-November if all goes well.

Carbo was also interviewed and stated that Corey Locke was Habs best player in TO last night and earned the right to stay in camp longer. Expect to see Locke play tonight.  Off to watch the game on RDS at 1900hrs....
