Datsyuk’s Hurting; Diet For The Geo-Bachelor

Important stuff first.  It would appear Pavel Datsyuk, just as he seems to be heating up, may be hurting.

Ted Kulfan/Detroit News

Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk missed Wednesday’s practice with what coach Mike Babcock described as “stiffness.”

Babcock did not say what the injury was but added he expects Datsyuk will be able to play Thursday against Chicago.

Ok Mike.  Is it me, or has Babcock publicly expected every hurt Wing to play the next game after their injury…only to report a few hours before the game that they skated but “couldn’t go”?  I’m at the point where if an ailment is bad enough to mention to the media, it’s probably bad enough to keep that player out a few games.

The IwoCPO bachelor dinner tonite:  a mini, microwavable container of tomato soup and one of those mini-cereal boxes of corn flakes. Both items I found hidden under the sink in my office.  Man, I’m living it up.  At some point I might have to teach myself how to (a) shop, (b) cook and (3) stop whining.

I would have to agree with you man.  If Mike is going to tell the media about the injuries and missing practices, then he should allow the player to miss a game or two.  I mean really, that stiffness Datsyuk has could be more than just stiffness.  He could have strained something, and if he doesn’t get the rest he needs, it could turn into something else and he could be out months. 
By the way, I just registered here and your blog is pretty cool.  I have been to many and not many people seem to know what they are talking about.  Nice Job!

There have been reports of Datsyuk having a sore wrist.  IWO, the secret to bachelor food is a can opener.

JR might be available to the Wings soon.

Batchelorhood is about living large, my friend.  You can survive 15 yrs easily on nothing but sardines and sharp cheese..  Martha Stewart’s website will probably show you how to boil an egg.

Be careful, empty pizza boxes can be used as evidence in court.

Yeah, worry not about bachelor dinners.  You could have put the Corn Flakes IN the tomato soup for some extra texture

Babs simply isn’t a very good liar.
