Friday Practice Update (interesting)

[GMRwings1983 8,804]

NHL Live reporting that he is playing tomorrow.

Proves what I know.

Maybe Ericsson is going on LTIR. I didn't see him come back after the fight, and you know our history with euros getting injured in fights and all.

But we've been hearing reports that Kronwall "will play next game" for a couple games now.

I have a feeling that it is Eaves. They have said that he is not coming back until after the Olys. May waivers + Eaves LTIR + Lebda trade = enough room for Lilja.

Kronwall will be on NHL Live at 1:30. I'm sure the question will be answered then.

There I fixed that for you.

if dats is traded i will not watch any hockey anymore

[Datsyuk2Zetterberg 1]

Hmmmm.....that's interesting to say the least. I'm wondering if Fil got hurt late. Pav's looked fine in the SO.

no he didn't.

If dastyuk is hurt, detroit doesn't make the playoffs.

if either of datsyuk, zetterberg, franzen, lidstrom, or howard get hurt, then no playoffs for detroit.

[taxijim 11]

OR Helm

[hokeychik22 17]

[WingsallTheway 383]

I agree

[brett 1,029]

dats looked horrible in the shootout. he didnt even deke he just took a back hand shot.

[Guest mindfly]

Maybe they just took the day off because they were dog-tired?

Red Wings' Pavel Datsyuk, Valtteri Filppula expected to play Saturday; Niklas Kronwall improving

DETROIT -- Post-practice update:

Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said forwards Pavel Datsyuk and Valtteri Filppula didn't practice because "they're day-to-day maintenance.'' He expects both to play Saturday against Ottawa in the last game before the Olympic break.

Defenseman Niklas Kronwall (knee) said he feels much better and expects to play Saturday, unless he has a setback.

Brad May has until noon Saturday to clear waivers. A team spokesman said the Red Wings aren't likely to make a move before the 3 p.m. trading freeze.

Datsyuk and Flip expected to play Saturday. Kronwall too.

Yippe.....another dud of a day just like our season. This means Lilja WON'T be back until after the olympics afterall.

[Datsyuk2Zetterberg 1]

thank jebus.

But what about Lilja?

[dat's sick 1,002]

That was actually a pretty sweet attempt and it wasn't far from going in. He has to try new moves every now and then, they can't all work.

edit: good news about Pav and Fil, although it's bad news they're even having any injuries at all.

Means we won't be seeing any sign of him until March.

[egroen 384]

Why would they not make a move? Unless someone is going on LTI... Lilja officially counts against the cap now - playing or not.

Lilja put on LTIR even though he's not really injured?

pavs just hurt his fists dropping all those bombs last night

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

Is Lilja officially off of LTIR?

[titanium2 867]

That was actually a pretty sweet attempt and it wasn't far from going in. He has to try new moves every now and then, they can't all work.

To be fair, he's done that move before.

And again I think on a Buffalo Sabres goalie.
