Recalled/Assigned: Ferraro in, Abby out. Maybe.

Just in case the Red Wings called up Landon Ferraro from GR as Justin Abdelkader has lower body injury. They're not sure if Abby can play

Detroit Red Wings ‏@DetroitRedWings
UPDATE: The #RedWings have called up Landon Ferraro from the @griffinshockey

Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive
Wings call up forward Landon Ferraro from Grand Rapids on emergency basis in case Justin Abdelkader (lower body injury) can't play tomorrow.

Great, another injury. At least we'll get to see Ferraro play.

Holland is too obsessed with youth. Look at all these prospects playing instead of experienced veterans!

 

[obey86]

Yeah. This is it. The Wings will finally miss the playoffs.

It'll be nice to have a high pick though. Hopefully we can be bad enough to end the season and land a top 10 pick.

 

[Winger98]

Good luck to Ferraro. With the way we're going, we'll be fortunate if he makes it through the game in one piece.

 

[detredWINgs]

This is insane.

At this point, I welcome minor injuries to lesser players if it means we get to see more prospects take some NHL shifts.

 

[Vladdy84]

Gator has been gabage lately. Bring on Lando! Bring up a Wookie on D too.

 

[SoupNazi]

Pretty much.

This season is disgusting. Something needs to happen with regards to our training/conditioning this season. These injuries are just out of hand now.

ain't that the truth (lol)

Here we go again.

I like you, Doc.


As for the news. I feel bad for Abby, but I'm glad that Ferraro may finally get a look.

 

[Winger98]

Yeah, when I saw "lower body injury" I immediately thought groin or hamstring. Something's not right, these guys aren't being prepared properly.

There are a lot of reasons for the injuries - age, wear and tear, being the victims of dirty plays, possibly the trainers...

But one thing I haven't seen many people bring up is the team supervision of player training. Admittedly, I have no idea how hands-on teams are when it comes to training and I imagine that it varies from organization to organization, but part of me wonders if the Red Wings organization had gotten into the habit of being extremely hands-off when it comes to individual training because they've been packed with responsible veterans over the years. One has to wonder if the Red Wings have too much of a "do your own thing" policy when it comes to training that maybe needs to be overhauled during the off-season.

Anyway, just spitballing.

At this point, I can only laugh at this team's misfortunes.

Maybe a more structured, team-wide exercise regimen can be implemented as part of the next wave with the young guys coming up? One for forwards and one for defensemen?

On a side note, maybe Piet Van Zant and the rest of his team will resign after such an exhausting season. Whether they're at fault or not, they've had their work cut out for them this season.

 

[mindfly]

Ray Ferraro: "Finally!"

Although it would suck if Abdelkader in the end can play and Ferraro is a healthy scratch =P

 

[Frk It]

Maybe he is in the plans for next year after all

 

[TheOtherOne]

What will it take to get our hard-working Canadian power forward back in the lineup?

Think they get paid per man games lost?

So you think losing Abby is the straw that kills the season?

 

[Vatican Roulette]

More money, more problems.

Call up the rookies. Start sending down anyone that isn't in the teams future, and call up rookies. Head start on training camp.

The Darren Helm situation should have never happened. When a player hurts his back lifting weights the fault lies with the training staff.

 

[Wayne Crosby]

On on side, I'm a little sad that it's looking quite likely that we're going to end our playoff streak. On another, it will probably be quite interesting seeing what we can do with a better draft position, as well as Holland making some big potential moves so we can be better for next season.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

I hate the twitter post but whatever I cannot help it, #canthevan!

Hopefully Gator is good to go and Landon takes Tootoo's spot.

Tootoo could real solid against Chicago. I think I'd rather him in than Pulkkinen at the moment.

Cleary is still injured.
