so, we call up emmerton now? move Franzen to center? what?

 

[PullHard]

Legwand, Sheahan, Glendening, Abby/ Franzen (?) I'm guessing

 

[ShanahanMan]

Also Ericcsson and Kronwall aren't at practice. Still awaiting word to see if they are injured.

 

[Frk It]

Maybe a decent time to try out that guy who's out of waiver options next year? I think his name is Ferraro?

Was optional #RedWings practice today but Mike Babcock said everyone who played Sunday available for Tuesday game at Columbus,

Must mean everyone not named Andersson?

 

[Frk It]

I want to see what he's got.

Pretty low-risk move.

Has played a shut down defensive role in GR all year. Fantastic penalty killer. Brings a chippy, in your face game. Injection of speed to the bottom 6 with Helm's absences

Would be cool to see.

Yeah, for sure. If Babcock wants to replace Andersson's defensive presence you'd think Ferraro would be the guy to try.

 

[Electric Thunder]

Oh, come on. We all know Emmerton would have gotten the call-up before Iron Hook.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Not a big deal, curious who they callup, Andersson is a very replaceable part. We will miss him in the dot, but once you get outside of that there are so many areas he still needs rapid improvement in.

Joakim Andersson broken left foot, out at least a couple of weeks. #RedWings

The Wheel Deal ‏@Bill_Roose
#RedWings Joakim Andersson will miss 2-3 weeks. Says he broke his left foot when he blocked shot during second-period PK In NY

He was outstanding in the dot, they'll miss him for sure.

Agree, outside of face offs he's been pretty lackluster lately. Very easily replaceable guy.

 

[Vladdy84]

Not a big loss. Call up Iron Hook!

 

[Vladdy84]

Call up Lando or Pulks.

 

[chances14]

Center position is cursed on this team

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

I would like either Lando or Pulks up, have a feeling given where we are in the season they are going to go with Emmerton. I understand it from Holland's and Babcock's perspective, I don't really agree with it.

Really I think it should be Ferraro up or Pulks, even Callahan would be better and Abdelkader should shift back to center if it isn't Ferraro, probably should anyway. On a positive note Pulkkinen, Callahan and Ferraro have all played at various points with Glendening in the past.

 

[Vladdy84]

Cleary's still injured, right?

 

[lilidk]

Also Ericcsson and Kronwall aren't at practice. Still awaiting word to see if they are injured.

They just got traded for Chara and WEBER

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

It just never ends.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

I can only hope Babcock does it, but on the positive side you guys are about to figure out that Sheahan is probably the best PK guy on the team.

 

[TheOtherOne]

Since our centers keep getting injured, maybe we should just roll 4 lines with all wingers.

left wing - left-center wing - right wing

or

left wing - forward wing - right wing

 

[mindfly]

If wings had a full squad you wouldn't mind Andersson being injured at all, personally I would prefer it because he's redundant IMO, but given all the injuries etc... this sucks.
