* It was truly wonderful seeing Kris Letang back on the ice. He’s been through so much in his career with injuries and his health, the latest setback coming when he got shut down in late February with a herniated disc in his neck, and to see him bounce back yet again is fantastic to watch. “I’m pretty happy,” he admitted. “The few weeks after the surgery, you’re in pretty bad shape and you can’t move. You’re stuck in a bed. To be out there and be able to keep playing, I’m really excited. Really fortunate. I’m happy and I feel lucky to be on the ice.”

* Letang said he felt like his conditioning was where it usually is at this time of year, adding that his legs felt great. And after watching him, I can attest. Letang looked like his normal self, moving so quickly it looked like he was floating, which had head coach Mike Sullivan marveling. “We’re thrilled to see him on the ice,” Sullivan said. “I think he’s excited to be a part of it again. I think his skill level is evident. He sticks out when he’s out there. His skating ability is tremendous. When we were doing the conditioning skates at the end, he’s a half a zone ahead of everybody when he wants to be. That’s just an example of his skating ability and his fitness level. He’s a special player.”
