96warrior 11 Report post Posted March 4, 2008 http://redwingscorner.blogspot.com/ The Red Wings are practicing late today, getting on the ice at 3:30 p.m. There are plenty of defensemen again (nine). The biggest news is that Nicklas Lidstrom practicing for the first time since suffering a strained MCL in Nashville. Chris Chelios is practicing as well as is Brian Rafalski who had planned on returning to the lineup tomorrow. In case Rafalski isn't ready, Jonathan Ericsson is still with the team. Also, Dan Cleary (broken jaw) is practicing again with football-mask style protection in front of his jaw. Cleary started practicing with the team last Saturday.

WingsZR2 1 Report post Posted March 4, 2008 Chelios? I thought you turned in your Red Wings card because Holland didn't trade 2 roster players, 2 prospects, and a 1st round pick for Hossa? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
40#1Fan 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2008 MID-PRACTICE UPDATE: Lidstrom took part in the first few non-contact drills and has now left the ice. Ditto for Chelios. Neither was expected to take part in the full practice today, so just participating in the early portion is a good sign of improvement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Post Practice.... "Nicklas Lidstrom (knee) might be ready to play Sunday." "Chris Chelios (bone chip in leg) is in the same situation." Hasek is getting his 3rd straight in a row... and has been told he'll be given 2/3rds of the starts from here out.
