Corvid to Kestrel: Friendly heads-up before you hear it elsewhere: the word around Toronto is that Jovanovic's lower-body thing is lingering and the backup gets the next stretchFalse claim. Pellegrini is starting every night in San Jose. I'll take the risk off your hands and throw in Lindqvist for your trouble.

Kestrel to Corvid: Wait, seriously? He left Monday's game in the third and I've been refreshing ever since. If the backup's starting I'm in trouble, Quarles is day-to-day too.
