‘”It was one of those things that has been frustrating,” said Thompson on Tuesday following practice. “It’s nice to see that the boys get six points on the road trip (3-0-0), obviously I’d have liked to have been in the lineup helping them out, but it’s just one of those injuries that was nagging me. I thought I was close, but I still feel it every once in a while. I was just better off making sure I could go, so taking that week to make sure I’m 100%, I feel good. I had a good day today, and I’m ready to go tomorrow.”‘
