Well that is excellent news! Nothing too serious it seems.This morning on the radio Yeo said he possibly plays tonight. Depends on how sore he is when he comes in this morning.

So Koivu is 2nd in successful defensive plays (forward) on the even strength in the league.
21/23 faceoffs last game right? That's cray
With Koivu not being asked to be the team's #1 center anymore... I think his career has been rejuvenated to the point where he can maintain his current level of play for another 4-5yrs.
He's never been a fast guy, but you put two fast guys on his wings like this and he doesn't have to be. He has always had the smarts to get to the right place at the right time, and now he's doing exactly that. He's always been in great shape, so not worried about that.
I think he's going to be good for quite some time yet for us!
So many people are counting down the days to get rid of him, but he's still such an important player to this team. Unless he dips dramatically the next few years, they should probably extend him after his contact is up. Cheaper price obviously. Too far down the road to get too speculative at this point though.
