So…Uncle Mike was gonna leave big brother Cheli home, but now someone’s hurt so everyone’s together for the Hoedown at the Gay. Who’s hurt? Nobody’s sayin’. Or, in the case of our Diggers, nobody’s askin’.
But a minor injury to an undisclosed player forced the team to bring Chelios on the trip. Babcock said after the morning skate that he wouldn’t know who’d be out on defense until just before the game.
“We’ll see who’s eligible and who’s not,’’ said Babcock, who wouldn’t reveal the injured player but said it’s not Nicklas Lidstrom.
It isn’t Meech or Brett Lebda, either, as they both skated during the optional practice.
We’re going to leave the Diggers alone for a second. I’m not going to dwell on the fact that they couldn’t get an answer out of Babcock. Why the break in routine? Why do I go all gloves-off all of a sudden?
Because this is more fun. That’s right, kids. Guess your injured Dman.
Mine?
Kronwall.

Uwe Krupp stubbed his vagina on his dogsled.
What? It’s 2007?
Oh.
Yeah, Kronwall, of course. And something flukey.

Thats priceless!!!
Baroque: If it was Lidstrom, the entire Organ-I-zation, would not only be ashen and wobbly, but babbling incoherently (while simulataneously foaming from the mouth)—well past the “yoda-syntax” of Uncle Mike.
Watching yesterdays tilt, I didn’t notice anything out of the ordianry from the D (except Lilja’s rocket—wonder if he bottled that majic elixir for future use).
I’m with Chief and TD—it had to be Kronwall—that SOB is playing pretty freaking good—he’s due to have something go awry—its his M.O.

George just listed that though Chelios WILL be traveling with the team he WONT be playing. Whatever the injury, it’s not serious enough to keep the player out of the line-up. Thanks George!

I’m thinking either Lilja or Rafalski.
I saw one of them take an awkward bounce last night, but which one has been blacked out by all those B&W;Deborah Kerr movies. What a babe.

I hope this isn’t true but I’m going to say Rafalski. Why? Because they could have shifted Meech in if it was a lesser person. They need either Kroner or Chelios to take those minutes.
I really hope I’m wrong though.

phew…thank goodness the 8-code-ball has spoken in my favor

If what Alex just posted is true, it may have just been a bad hangover that someone just recovered from.
Wonder if Lilja celebrated his 2nd GWG last night.

or bad airplane food?

I think either Rafalski or Kronwall. If it was Lilja the team wouldn’t be scared of saying so. They didn’t want to risk making one of their skilled defenseman a target for Tootoo and the rest of a desperate, overmatched Nashville team. And hell, maybe it was Lidstrom, and Babcock just plain face lied.
But it seems that the mystery man is suiting up, so Chelios gets a breather. That’s good - Chelios is here for two things - #6 D-man and assistant coach in the regular season, #2 D-man and monster performer in the playoffs. And the second one is far more important.

I’m going with Kyle Quincey.
Yahtzee!

Since Chelios is the one not playing, maybe the injured player is….Chelios?

Of course it isn’t Lidstrom. You could tell if it was because the entire coaching staff would be pale and shaky.
Kronwall is too obvious. For the sake of argument, I’ll bet Lilja strained his shoulder on that shot last night. What a blast.
