Jonathan Toews won't return on trip

DETROIT -- The Chicago Blackhawks were hopeful captain Jonathan Toews would be able to join them on their current road trip, but coach Joel Quenneville ruled him out of Sunday's game against the Red Wings as well as Tuesday's contest in St. Louis.

"Still progressing but no change," Quenneville said after practice on Saturday. "He's not on the ice. He's not going to be on the trip."

Toews has missed the last six games with what a source close to the injury calls a concussion and continues to work out off the ice back in Chicago. The Hawks are 3-3 without him in the lineup.

Defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson also won't play Sunday, as he's missed 11 of 12 with a concussion as well, the source said.

"He's real close, he's real close," Quenneville said of Hjalmarsson. "He says he's feeling much better. He's going through some real conditioning skates here. He's really progressing here."

Hjalmarsson thought he might be able to play against the Red Wings on Sunday, but he is still getting back into game shape.

"Being gone for that long you just want to get your conditioning back," Hjalmarsson said. "That's what I'm working on and [I'll] take it from there."

The Wings' Pavel Datsyuk and Nicklas Lidstrom will miss the contest with injuries.

Ray Emery will start his second consecutive game and is looking for his third win in a row overall.

Having been from the "old school" of ebay selling...24/7 since 1998

I have always prepared my listings in advance. Saved them to a CD or (heaven forbid floppy) unitl I was ready to dump the html into the listiing form.

I prepare many listings in adavance, and drop the ones I want when I feel like it. Because I do not use eBay pics, I can "drop" these listings to other websites as well.

Panthers beat Senantors for first time

Marcel Goc, Krys Barch and Mikael Samuelsson scored second-period goals and the Panthers rallied to beat the Senators for the first time in 10 games, 4-2 on Sunday night.

The Panthers were coming off a 7-0 loss at Winnipeg on Thursday night and a 3-1 loss to Nashville on Saturday night. They picked up an important two points as they try to maintain their Southeast Division lead.

Jack Skille added a goal with 1:26 left, Jose Theodore made 23 saves, and Mike Weaver had two assists to help the Panthers beat the Senators for the first time since a 3-0 victory in Ottawa in January 2010.

"It was good to get a win finally in front of these fans that are itching for the playoffs," Skille said. "We want to make sure that we come back with a lot of push at the end of the season here."

Ozark Trail Twin Airbed - Worst Product on MArket

Guide viewed: 24 times Tags: Ozark Trail, Twin Airbed

We recently purchased an Ozark Trail Twin Airbed. The price is very reasonable, it inflates quickly,the velour cover on top is nice and a travel/storage bag is included. But that is the beginning and end of the positive points of this product.

This was used indoors for one night only. Much to our shock and dismay, the Ozark Trail Twin Aired deflated within a very short period of time. It did not remain inflated for one single night. Sleeping on a carpeted floor with a quilt, blanket and pillow with a brand new deflated Ozark Trail Twin Airbed results in no sleep, stiff and sore muscles and back pain.

One is much better off sleeping on the sofa, a cot or even a beach lounger in comparison with this very disappointing product. Do yourself a service by avoiding any Ozark Trail Airbeds at all costs.
