Khan(!): Homer Feels “Way, Way Better”

Reason to feel slightly optimistic today. Slightly.
...was extremely optimistic that’ll be able to play this week. The cortisone shot he had on Friday is working well.
“We’ll see, Wednesday or Thursday. I don’t know about Wednesday, but I’m really hopeful for Thursday,’’ Holmstrom said. “Today was way, way better, so I think (the shot) worked. It would be nice to get some games before the playoffs. You’ve been out for a long time, it’s tough to get into the playoffs right away.’‘
Optimistic? Yes. Fully? No. We’ll see. The DDC also reports Hasek will be starting Wednesday and Sunday, with Osgood in net Thursday for the last BJ of the year.
Updated 1157 with more from the Anti-Digger.
Mikael Samuelsson didn’t skate and spent his morning on the training table. Coach Mike Babcock said that Samuelsson was feeling better, but there is no date set for his return.
Brad Stuart went through the whole practice. He could pass fine. He could a little, but not with any authority. Stuart said that he’s expecting to return sometime next week. There’s not much that can be done for his broken finger other than taping it.

If Homer and Hasek are in, and Samuelsson’s out, I am perfectly fine with that. Perfectly fine with that. If Hasek stays healthy and keeps up the shutouts, I am also perfectly fine with that. Having Cleary, Homer, and Franzen all playing would be great for playoff scoring. Having Lidstrom, Rafa, Kronner, and Stuart as our playoff top four would be excellent. Throw in a sharp Hasek and I’m perfectly happy about our prospects. I’d be even happier if Babcock announced that Chelios and Meech were the third d pairing, but oh well. I have to report that I’m not as stressed about things as I was last week.
