Khan(!) Less Optimistic About Homer Playing Game 1

Woops. Dissent amongst the diggers again. Stoney and Wojo spoke with Mike Babcock earlier today and appeared satisfied that our boy Homer would be ready to go for Game 1. Khan(!)? Maybe not.
The Wings are listed Holmstrom as day-to-day, but his left eye was swollen shut Monday, so it’s hard to imagine he’d be ready to start the second round series, which will begin on Thursday for the Wings.
Holmstrom will see an eye specialist in Detroit on Tuesday. He saw an eye doctor in Calgary Monday morning and Holland said the team was encouraged that the doctor allowed Holmstrom to fly home with the club.
“He was real bad when he left the rink (Sunday night), but this morning he made significant improvement,’’ Holland said. “We’ll see over the next 48 to 72 hours how it’ll heal.’’
I’m not worrying about that tonite. Nope. All I’m concerned with is Dallas/Vancouver. No pressure. No stress. Just a Game 7 to enjoy (and really hope, sorry A, that Dallas wins).

Totally a swelling/brusing issue. The fact that the doctors OK’ed Homer to fly indicates that the bleeding inside the eye was minimal—bleeding or damage would cause an increase in pressure in the eyeball that could do significant damage in a pressurized cabin.
He will wear a visor whether he likes it or not.

It doesn’t sound like a big deal to me, all things considered. If the eye itself isn’t injured and it’s just an issue of the swelling going down, that seems like it should take care of itself relatively quickly. Yet another Wing with a shield…
