Two episodes into HBO’s 24/7 and I’m starting to feel a twinge of anticipation for the Winter Classic on Jan. 2. We’re around the “shooters” every day and I know that Peter Laviolette told me a few weeks ago he feels they can be intrusive, but the stuff they are getting is great.

DALLAS _ No one asked me, but I still wish the Flyers would hold off on putting Claude Giroux back in the lineup before Christmas.

Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren tried to put on a brave face on Saturday night. He said that Claude Giroux was “okay” but his body language seemed to be saying, “We’re really hoping that he doesn’t have a concussion but we don’t know.” It will be days before Giroux is really out of danger.

We had a chance to get Peter Laviolette tonight before the game. Lavy complained that he was beginning to sweat in his warmups as I grilled him over Chris Pronger. So did Randy Miller, Dave Isaac and Anthony SanFilippo.
