Khan(!), ya little bastard. He tells us Cheli’s tired and headed home to Hockeytown.
Chris Chelios returned home after Saturday’s game in Vancouver, as part of a scheduled rest. He’ll play Thursday against Columbus. Johan Franzen (upper body injury) might be ready to play Tuesday in Calgary but Dan Cleary (sprained knee) is not ready.
He’s also got tidbits on Kopecky re-signing for two more and Bertuzzi’s return.
Teddy Kulfan goes further. Good God, the playoffs must be close. The Diggers are on fire!! Apparently there is a forward in the Wing organ-I-zation called Hank and he’s a healin’.
Zetterberg (back) is progressing every day, and could skate later this week. But his return is still up in the air. Babcock said he’d like to see Zetterberg play at least 5 games before the playoffs.
And we have, yes, the trifecta! Myself is apoplectic (look it up Bubba). There may be an a where the o is. If that’s the case Bubba won’t know so it really doesn’t matter.
Anyway, Helene St. James completes the Digger hat trick. Franzen anyone?
Franzen, who has been out with an upper-body injury, may play against the Flames. probably with former linemates Kris Draper and Kirk Maltby.
Recap: Cheli’s tired. Kopecky’s hurt but re-signed. Bertuzzi’s healing and ready. Franzen’s almost there. Zetterberg’s on his way back. Bubba can’t spell.

Myself doesn’t discount that possibility Jeremy. If there’s one Wing who can pick right up after a long Forsbergian layoff, it would be Hank.

Personally I think we’re all foolish for even thinking it’s a back injury in the first place. I’ve still never had that whole mysterious tendonitis in the wrist situation explained to my satisfaction, so until I hear something that doesn’t sound like the typical ‘NHL team completely lying about injuries to fool the opposition’ spin-o-rama…

I think some coach should just stop pretending to be honest about injuries and stop with the “upper-body-itis” and “lower-body-itis.” Just say a player is out with scurvy or worms. It would be just as informative.

Methinks that Hank’s injury was something more of a cautious sit out than a full-blown injury. Only thing I’m concerned about is the amount of games the team will have a full lineup in and if they will be able to gel well enough for the playoffs.
