Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

I know i have stumbled on here a couple times that it could be within the next 2 weeks or so.... Does anybody know of how close he really is to returning? Or has anybody read anything on how he has been doin lately and if he is skating or not?

Seriously?

That would be good news!

Where did you hear this?

I haven't seen much on Fil, more info on Mule is available than flip, not that I am questioning you, I hope you are right!

he's been skating the whole time by the way... the only thing he will really need to get back up to form will be his shot and strength on the puck, as his arm/wrist will be considerably weaker

Center Valtteri Filppula had the cast removed from his broken right wrist on Sunday. He wore a splint while skating by himself after practice. He will start skating more and said he remains on schedule to return later this month.

"Now I'll try to get the movement back slowly, get the strength back; it’s going to take a while, but hopefully not too long,'' Filppula said. "It’s really stiff, so I have to patient with it.''

He's not yet ready to stick-handle or shoot.

"Got to get the strength back first, then I can start stick-handling and do other stuff on the ice,'' Filppula said. "I think I’m pretty much on track.’’
