Cole off IR but is he ready to play?

Erik Cole participated in his first practice since tearing a hip muscle two weeks ago.

Cole has missed the past seven games with a hip tear, and had missed three earlier games with a hip contusion. His return to practice raised optimism that Cole will be able to play on Friday against Washington. The team was more cautious with its prognosis, and it is too early to know just yet. In any case, this is great news, assuming you hung onto the high-scoring forward.

Vincent Lecavalier my MVP!

Vincent Lecavalier scored 2 goals on Wednesday night to up his league leading goal total to 45 for the LIghtning. "We worked hard to get back to Atlanta and now we are right there," Lecavalier said. "Every game is so important right now. We can't control what they do, we have to control what we do out there. This was an important game after losing the last two."

Shouldn't there be more Vinny for MVP talk? The guy has been simply tremendous this year setting career-highs across the board. Also, of late, who has been hotter? Read this twice if you have to...in his last 30 games he has 24...goals!
