Very impressive turnout at Skate Zone today on 2 fronts: First, a lot of fans showed up to see the player scrimmages. Second, a lot of players are in those scrimmages, including goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. I chatted with Johan Backlund today. He had the look of concern on his face. He tells me he still has pain in his left hip and groin area from the surgery on June 25.
