PROBIE4PREZ 58 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 Well you shouldn't be worried .. Ralf skated today in practice but left when they got into physical play ... Dom is old .. putting them on IR isnt a bad thing .. The wings just need roster spots to bring up Hartigan and Ericksson.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
40#1Fan 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 http://blog.mlive.com/snapshots/2008/02/mo...nwall_clos.html MLIVE is stating Kronwall might be available for the Calgary game on Friday. Brian Rafalski skated for about 15 minutes at the beginning of practice and then left the ice. Niklas Kronwall looked good shooting the puck, and he also participated in the scrimmage at the end of practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah Rafaski and Hasek were both listed as day-to-day and coming back "soon". I'm not sure how the backdated IR works - someone enlighten us? I think that means they can still come off and play soon - but temporarily call up the back-up Ds. Rafaski is sorely needed back - Cheli can pick up extra minutes - he played great the other night. How about trade for Feds and put him on D?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dano33 41 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 Why is Hartigan called up? Which other forward is hurt? Normally a team carries 2 goalies, since we had called up Howard we had 3, now that dom is on the IR that leaves a spot open. Therefore, we now have the normal 2 goalies so we called up a forward.

cincywingfan 1 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 I think IR is retroactive to the date of their injury. The can be placed on IR after sitting out X number of games and come off IR Y days from their injury even if they were placed on IR the day prior. I'm not sure how long you have to be on IR though. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 Is Ericsson a fighting, physical player, or is he just another big European defenseman who's soft for his size? I only ask because I don't know much about him, and won't see any Wings games for a while to find out first hand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nill also confirmed that both Hartigan and Ericsson will practice with the Red Wings tomorrow before leaving for Calgary. There's been no indication as to whether a forward is hurt, but you don't recall Hartigan to sit. It's also worth noting that Rafalski and Hasek are on the IR retroactively, so they don't have to sit for another week--they can return whenever they're healthy.

I was just listening to the radio, they mentioned Filppula for Hossa. I don't if they were meaning straight up or anything else, but would you pull the trigger on that deal if it were to come up?
