Kronwall Back If Wings Reach Finals?

That would appear to be the case according to Helene St. James’ game story this morning.

The Wings are, by the way, close to getting one Swede stronger. Niklas Kronwall, the big-hitting defenseman who broke a bone in his back March 30, is to skate Saturday for the first time. If the Wings can win this series, Kronwall may return for the Stanley Cup finals.

I’ll have a full recap later in the day.

He has a knack for coming back from serious injuries just in time and playing a key role in important games. See 2006 Olympics.

Yeah, I’d like to see Kronwall back on the ice.  I’d feel sorry for Quincey, though.  That kid has worked his butt off and played amazingly well for a rookie thrust feet-first into the fire.

Stop and think about this team, healthy next year.

Zetterberg/Datsyuk/Holmstrom
Bertuzzi/Filpulla/Kopecky
Draper/Maltby/Cleary
Kopecky/Franzen/Samuelsson

Lidstrom/Schneider
Chelios/Lebda
Kronwall/Lilja


I guess there’s a ? if Bertuzzi will be back, but I don’t see why not.  That lineup (although my line combos are probably off) is pretty stacked, if you ask me.  And definitely not the small, old, slow Wings team that’s playing right now wink

Heh, guess I got Kopecky in there twice, but you get the point…

How about this Paul? Replace your first Kopecky with Grigorenko.

right on!  I always forget about him.

and maybe if Bootland can get his act together and stop gooning it up (or, hmmmm, maybe better if he doesn’t) he’ll end up in the lineup, too.

this team is getting tougher by the season, and I like it.
