Matt Read, who returned to action more than two weeks early from a ribcage injury on Thursday, was not pleased with his performance in a 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh. "I don't think I played my best game, but it was good to get back on the ice and try to help this team get back in the winning column," Read said. Wow is that guy tough on himself. He returned from a serious injury in less than half the time doctors predicted, and in his first game back after not playing for two weeks he's upset he didn't have a bigger impact on the team. We like this kid. For the record, so does Philly coach Peter Laviolette. "It may take a game or two for Matt to get back and find his stride. He had a tough injury," Laviolette said. "It is good to see him back there."
