I don't know what that means but it made me wince.

do birds have knees?

do birds have knees?

Hmm, good question.

Let me take a look at myself to find out.

 

[higgyfan4]

I don't know what that means but it made me wince.

Here's a better explanation:

"It's been swollen for six weeks now," he said. "I've got a lot of fluid in there. The knee is sore. I had a Baker's cyst, and it burst and leaked into my calf. We were worried about a blood clot, so that's why I went to the hospital."

A Baker's cyst is a buildup of joint fluid.

Cleary said he still needs to get the knee drained "at some point, but the time is not now." He is considering getting a cortisone shot, too.

Happy 37th birthday Tawwwwwwwwwwwwwd Bertuzzi

 

[sherbert1421]

so why not let cleary rest the knee and insert mursak into the lineup

 

[jstewismybastardson]

lil part of me wants Todd to get career goal #300 tonight against Luongo


/bigger part of me wants the final score to be 6 - 1 Canucks

Future 50-Win goaltender right there.

Mursak out is a head scratcher. Babcock also wants Commie or Kindl to grab that 6th spot, but they both play well and get sat anyway. Can't expect much more from them, better to leave one in awhile and see if they can can get a groove going, imo.

completely agree. there must be something going on behind the scenes regarding mursak.

answer a - when are they expanding the season to 95 games?
answer b - are the Wings going to play 70 games at home next year?
answer c - not out of the question. heck of a goalie on a heck of a team.


interesting stat:
wings at home 20-2-1
wings on road 14-14-0
I hope the Visitors sign on the dressing room in in really large print.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

does someone squeeze Ken Kal's nutsack when the wings score?
