Great news on Homer!

Hopefully the MRI comes back negative on Flip!

Good to see Stu will be back by the end of the month.

I still get the feeling that Fil is just tweaked and won't miss significant time, but we can still probably expect him out for at least a couple games for precautionary measures...

Glad Holmstrom's back and good news about Stuart too!

The team is surprisingly lacking in front of the net without Holmstrom. Maybe it was just noticeable because Cleary was also out and is still getting back into form, but I expect a more consistent offense once Homer is back in the line-up.

Let's pray that god realizes his mistake in making Filppula get injured in the first place and makes his injury not serious! Yay Jesus!

I agree. In the two shut out games and even last night's game to some extent, the Wings had damn near zero net presence. I recall Franzen filling that roll incredibly well in '08. What the heck happened to that?

Well, maybe things are finally looking up. It's gonna take a few games to get everyone back in sync, but it's gonna be nice to get some healthy bodies back.

He's too pretty to be injured!
