David Perron Rumors Swirling

 Rumors have started in the hockey universe, and Bob McKenzie has reported on Twitter, that St. Louis Blues long-injured forward David Perron will return to action tomorrow night.  Perron hasn't played a game since recieving a concussion on November 4th, 2010, after taking a nasty blind-side hit to the head delivered by Joe Thornton.  Perron's long-term ailment was long-overshadowed by Sidney Crosby's concussion, but finally Perron's injury can have its moment in the limelight (if that's a good thing...)
 Perron is a tremendous talent, and adds even more to a Blues roster that has been playing spectacular hockey recently.  St. Louis has gone 8-1-2 since hiring Ken Hitchcock as head coach, and will only get better with Perron.  He is a perfect Hitchcockian player, who not only has tons of offensive skill, but is hard-working in all three zones and has a good amount of hockey sense to serve him well under Hitchcock hockey.
 St. Louis plays tonight in Colorado, but will return home tomorrow to face off against the Chicago Blackhawks.  If the rumors are true, we'll finally see David Perron on the ice in an NHL game again at 8pm ET.  Congratulation to David Perron, hope your health remains in check and you can start this season right where you were last year.
