40#1Fan 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2008 from the Macomb Daily The good news is that defenseman Niklas Kronwall skated today for the first time since spraining his shoulder last week. And Kronwall will travel with the team to Minnesota to skate some more. The bad news is that after looking at new MRIs yesterday, team doctors have told Kronwall he'll be out longer than the original prediction of 10 days. "It'll probably be a little bit longer than 10 days," said Kronwall. "We'll just have to go from how the rehab goes and how it feels on the ice, try to think positive and go from there. ... Obviously you don't want to do anything stupid to re-injure it and miss more games." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FinWing 26 Report post Posted February 4, 2008 Not a big deal I guess. At least the time he'll miss is a few weeks instead of a few months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FinWing 26 Report post Posted February 4, 2008 Love to see Erickson up. I think Quincey will be the first call-up if it comes to that. But I doubt them calling anyone up since we have Meech as the #7 defenseman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SweWings 45 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 As long as the guy doesn't go away during the playoffs he can take it easy right now. I don't want a repeat of last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
