agziolkow 1 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 Why did Mickey and company just say that the Wings don't expect to get anybody back until mid January??? Filps should be back within 2 weeks. Mid January should be Williams and mid-Feb Franzen **crosses fingers* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lidstrom for life 20 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 Yeah I was confused by that too. I was under the impression Filpulla will be back soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cupforwings 138 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 Yeah I was confused too, but I think they were talking about other players besides Filppula... or they forgot about about him??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 Yeah I was confused too, but I think they were talking about other players besides Filppula... or they forgot about about him??? Probably just a mistake, though usually someone catches it and they correct mistakes later on. Maybe it's because Williams doesn't count as a real player. So yeah, they probably just forgot Flip.

cjm502 165 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 Filp has about 2 weeks left, give or take a few days. That is going to be a big turning point for us. Throw Filp in the lineup and just look at how much better our lines look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thedisappearer 291 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 All I can think of is they mean 'back and playing by Christmas'. If it's not by Dec 25, they view it as next year. But yeah. WTF? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 Well, I mean I guess technically January 2-January 30 is all in the middle of January. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 I sure hope Filp will be back for the 23rd against Chicago. 2 points there will be monumental. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theophany 110 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 Holland said the other night (last night?) that he was expecting Filppula back in early January, Kronwall sometime in January, and Franzen in March (because if he's back mid-February, he won't be playing in the Olympics). Don't get your hopes up with Filppula returning this month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 Considering Mickey said tonight that Datsyuk's goal (the Wings 1st of the game) tied it at 7, I wouldn't put too much thought in to anything Mickey says Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
