96warrior 11 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Injury updates: Hasek progressing; Kronwall/Chelios/Rafalski out until Friday at earliest; Lidstrom making progress Posted by George James Malik February 25, 2008 18:16PM Here's a short injury update regarding several banged-up Red Wings from the Detroit News's Ted Kulfan: February 25, Detroit News: Also from Tuesday's morning skate: Dominik Hasek (hip flexor) completed the entire practice and could back up Chris Osgood Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers. Niklas Kronwall (clavicle), Chris Chelios (fibula) and Brian Rafalski (groin) won't play against the Oilers. Nicklas Lidstrom (sprained right knee) could begin skating later this week, said Holland, and the Wings expect Lidstrom to play in about 10-14 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted February 26, 2008 I'm not surprised... I doubt Hasek will dress for the Oilers either... Especially if he's going to be backup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 I thought Kronwall was playing on Tuesday SCREW U MAN! (Kronwall not you warrior) Yeah it went from he would play Saturday, to Tuesday, and now Friday. At this rate Lidstrom will be back sooner. Has he ever even made it to the postseason? I hope his karma changes, but I don't see it happening, sadly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzerfan1999 81 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 God, all these guys coming back is going to feel like the greatest trade deadline acquisition ever! It seems like the Wings have been hurting for so long already - can't wait till they are at 100% again. And then Cleary at the start of the playoffs? I bet the comeback of these players gives the Wings a HUGE boost going into the late season/post season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't speak for everybody, but obviously I think a lot of us want these guys back ASAP given the slump the Wings are currently in. Fortunately, they've worked up such a cushion that nobody should be getting too many grey hairs given the current situation. They are too experienced and knowledgable for this to just spiral downhill even more. Most of them will be back in time, at least on the defense, and they can get their timing/chemistry back and we'll start winning more than we are currently losing. No need to get too worried.

96warrior 11 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 http://blog.mlive.com/snapshots/2008/02/in..._stay_posi.html Injured Wings try to stay positive ahead of match-up against banged-up Oilers Posted by George James Malik February 26, 2008 07:19AM The Red Wings face off against the red-hot Sam Gagner and the Edmonton Oilers with a line-up that's still less than healthy. The Detroit News's Ted Kulfan goes down the injury list with some updates: February 26, Detroit News: Dominik Hasek (hip flexor) practiced and could be ready to back up Chris Osgood tonight against the Oilers. Hasek was hoping to start Friday against San Jose, or Sunday when the Wings visit Buffalo, where Hasek starred earlier in his career. [Red Wings coach Mike] Babcock said [Niklas] Kronwall (clavicle), [brian] Rafalski (groin) and [Chris] Chelios (fibula) will not be available against the Oilers. Babcock and Holland said [Nicklas] Lidstrom (sprained right knee) is progressing well. Holland said Lidstrom could be ready to skate by the end of this week and could be ready to play within two weeks. The Free Press's Helene St. James offers a similar update: February 26, Detroit Free Press: Lidstrom might skate by week's end, though he remains 10-14 days away from playing. Babcock, addressing rumors Lidstrom has a concussion, said, "Have you ever seen a boxer get dazed? That's what happened. He got dazed. No concussion. Zero." Rafalski said his groin feels better and he remains day to day. Chris Chelios (fibula) did not skate and won't be ready before the weekend at the earliest. Dominik Hasek (hip flexor) said he had a good practice, "I didn't have any problems with my injury," he said, "and definitely I will be ready for Friday." There was a moment of worry at practice when Jiri Hudler was hit on his shield by a puck fired by Ericsson and deflected off Kronwall and Mark Hartigan before ramming Hudler. Hudler dropped to the ice but had no worse than a nasty bruise on his left cheekbone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
