zombi 43 Report post Posted September 18, 2010 TRAVERSE CITY -- Detroit Red Wings forward Kris Draper pulled his groin early in a scrimmage Saturday during the first day of training camp at Centre I.C.E. Arena.Draper didn't return after playing a couple of shifts. The club wasn't sure of the extent of the injury but is being cautious. "Is that two weeks or 10 days or 10 games, I don't know,'' coach Mike Babcock said. “No matter how hard you trained or how hard you worked over the summer, these first couple of days in camp are always tough on your groins and hip flexors. We want to be smart with that.’’ So much for Drapes cracking the lineup (at least at the beginning of the season). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted September 18, 2010 Okay, that sucks. I hope it's an isolated incident though, and we don't see a rash of groin injuries all of a sudden. Last season our roster resembled an emergency room more than a hockey team. I do hope he recovers quickly and can rejoin the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

under_par_00 45 Report post Posted September 18, 2010 Could this be a stunt to get Draper's $1.5 mil off the books for a little while and open up space for Miller and Ritola to battle it out while Drapes sits on the IR? 1 Frozen-Man reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) The first thing that I thought of was that maybe that will make room for the supposedly new and improved Aaron Downey. It'd be great to have him as a reserve forward. But Draper's problem isn't that bad I'm guessing. EDIT: Or perhaps even better, they'll be able to keep Miller and Ritola.

titanium2 867 Report post Posted September 19, 2010 In terms of health, any idea as to how Zetterberg is doing? Is he at 100%? I feel like a lot of the times he's injured and we don't know it because he just plays through it. It'd be nice if he could officially be at full health.
