Homer, Filppula, Mac Slated For Friday Return

Little Gary and Verizon have exactly one week to get their act together and have the NHL Network piped into my house.  I really don’t care about the other subscribers, just my house.  The Wings host the Bitter Blues next Friday with a lineup that could very well feature a return of one Darren McCarty, as well as the rest of our injured corps of forwards.

Kris Draper (groin) skated Friday and feels good, Holland said, adding that Draper will decide after tomorrow’s morning skate whether he’ll play that night. Tomas Holmstrom (groin) also skated Friday, feels good, and “is getting closer to where we can expect him back soon,” Holland said.

Valtteri Filppula, whom Holland said is bothered by both a tender groin and sore knee, won’t play before Friday. Darren McCarty (ribs) is also expected to be cleared to play by next weekend.

Dan Cleary, given the option of trying to play tomorrow with his jaw still chock full of bionic stuff, has decided to wait until the wires are removed.  So it’s looking like early next week for him.  In any event, next Friday we may get a glimpse (minus Stuart) at the lineup the Wings will ice for the first round.

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977.  No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y.  Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation.  There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature.  Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
