Abdelkader, when is he gonna get the chance?

I wanna see the source that says he is 100% and ready to play. Last I heard, he was still nursing a bruised chest.

It says here that he is cleared and ready to play. http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2010/10/red_wings_mike_babcock_third_l.html

In earlier reports, he said he was ready to play but waiting clearance. It was also reported that Abby would play if Burt couldn't against Anaheim. Therefore, we can conclude that Abby is ready to play (not necessarily 100%, but ready).
