Right winger James Neal was late to the practice session, but he had a valid excuse. Coach Dan Bylsma said Neal was at a physician's appointment but declined to provide other specifics. Neal is not known to have any injury.
more interesting is the James Neal VD speculation:
Neal's suffering from Malkinitis. It should be completely healed within the next couple of weeks.
LOL so it's automatically VD? What if he just has hemorrhoids or something? Not as glamorous?
