What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
Holy crap, that was fast.
I would sit him out tonight just to err on the side of caution.
"Let him sit for a few games or for another week just to make sure he is extra ready to go" some of you are too much man...the damn guy is ready to play why would he need to sit out longer for? lolz
I think "available" means cleared by the doctors.
They have said they leave it up to the player at that point.

It'd be one thing to rush him back, but we're not exactly doing that. He reportedly last had "concussion-like symptoms" last Tuesday, and has continued to push himself harder in each workout since without any setbacks.
I think Lupul of all people would not rush himself prematurely back into the lineup. He came back 100% after the arm injury and I would expect he plans to do the same from this one. He's said through interviews he wouldn't put the team in that position if he only felt 80%.
As far as I concerned, if he's ready put him in. We need as many Leafs firing on all cylinders going into the playoffs as we can, and if he can jumpstart the Kadri line while Kessel's stays hot, we might have a shot at home-ice advantage going in.
i have no source to back this up but im pretty sure lupul himself even said his arm was not 100% when he came back, and i disagree with you saying he will not rush back..unfortunatly i think he is way too competitive to not want to play..i believe he even said he wanted to play in the same game after he got injured but the trainers would not let him play..using this logic i would not be surprised if he is in the lineup tonight ..i will say 50-50
Cant wait for him to ice 'em up again
