Did the ghost of Brad Malone bean him?

For a couple of reasons, I’m confident it wasn’t Pesce.

If he plays today or tomorrow, that’s a quick turnaround since about a week ago when he said his operated knee was 20% less strong then his good knee.

After the Pacioretty stuff, I simply can't get myself to be as excited about this as I should be. It'll be fun to see him play though.

23 year old coming back from a standard ACL surgery != 34 year old coming back from a risky Achilles repair chosen to accelerate his timeline.

I was wondering if they'd wait for the second half of the back to back. I also wonder if they might rest him on any back to backs for a bit.

the info might be in this thread or was already discussed somewhere but I'm lazy and forget... was the ACL tear last year the same knee as the injury from that dope chara a few years ago? wondering if that older injury had already weakened his knee resulting in the acl tear and now the full surgery now has corrected both long term?
