The King threw some shit at a wall. It didn’t stick.

After a bag with his number appeared at Madison Square Garden this morning, there was some speculation that Claude Giroux and his mysterious injury which is probably Ebola would practice today and, perhaps, play tonight. But alas, the bag was never opened and there will be no Claude in Mudville this eve.

Howard Eskin didn’t get that memo. Well, he got a memo, it just wasn’t the memo.

Not true, say the beats in loud, cacophonous unison!

Howard, your thoughts?

Like I said, memo.

Claude Giroux is not playing tonight.

UPDATE: Double down!

Classic Howard– you can’t be wrong on good chance!

UPDATE 2: Not so fast, my friend.
