Jeff Halpern

[bolts37205]

is doing great post surgery and is slightly ahead of where he was at the same time when he recovered from his first knee surgery. Halpern is anxious to get back to Tampa, is interested in having 17 forwards signed and is gonna miss Danny Boyle to summarize. HE IS DOING BETTER THAN EXPECTED and really, really is motivated to be on ice. He was bummed to be hurt representing the U.S. because it meant he was not in the Stanley Cup playoffs. JH is very pro Tampa and hoping to skate 8 weeks post surgery. He has begun rehab and it is going well.

There are no citations for this, but Timothy knows how I get the info and what I am posting is the real thing. Therefore keep the thought that Halpern will be rolling come February and figure out which linemates will be best for him.
