Devils' White out again
Devils defenseman Colin White was scratched for tonight's Game 5 due to stiffness in his back. It's the third straight game he's missed.
White, the Devils most physical defenseman, usually shadows opponent's top line. He said earlier today he's feeling better and better, but coach Lou Lamoriello said the six-year veteran goes through certain pre-game exercises - if he passes the test, he plays. If not, he won't.
It's unclear whether White will be available for Sunday's Game 6 at the St. Pete Times Forum (1 pm)

Maybe he can dress for us. Injured or not, he's gotta be better than what I've seen tonight from Sarich, Pratt, and Kuba. This group looks so sorry it's embarassing. Turning the puck over, can't pass, can't find their @$$ with both hands, and can't (or won't) throw a hit to save their life. Disgusting!!
If you are slow, untalented, and/or just plain over your head, you have to bring SOMETHING to the game. I guess they left their manberries in Tampa.
