Left wingers felt left out during stints on injury list

Faugue might make cowards of us all, as the saymg goes, but injuries tum players into involuntary loners. That was especially apparent when Florida Panthers' left wingers Cam Stewart and Peter Worrell returned to the lineup. The first thing both talked about when they came back from injuries sustained in October-Stewart a concussion, Worrell a torn knee ligament-was relief in reconnecting with the team. "It has been hard," Worrell said. "You don't feel like you're part of the team. The guys have been great, but it's not the same kind of bonding as when you're here day in and day out. "That's the fun part of this-busting chops, guys busting your chops. I've been a little rusty on the quips. (Slow-talking center Rob) Niedermayer has been able to beat me. That's a bad sign." After…

There was no ‘For Sale’ sign hanging outside the Corel Centre, but Rod Bryden is listening to all offers. The Ottawa Senators’ owner called a press conference at the Kanata arena Dec. 3 to announce he will officially begin the process of finding a buyer for the club to move it to the United States. Disappointed with a lack of movement by the Canadian government, Bryden made the decision to pursue a buyer because he can’t wait any longer if the team is going to relocate next season. “I’m doing what I said I would do when this whole process started eight months ago,” Bryden said. “I have to start taking action to sell the hockey club, but my hope is this team will be able to stay in Ottawa for a very long…

Morrow’s future may be now as youngster makes impact

Brenden Morrow was supposed to be kicking his way through Kalamazoo this season, picking a few fights, scoring a few goals and generally making what the Dallas Stars consider a huge jump between major junior and the International League.
