I ...Krononymous, I will be joining you post-haste. I beyond worried that he'd just started to get better & maybe pushed himself back into the line-up too fast. The fact of the matter is, we NEEDED him (and still do). But seeing that picture, oh, I'm so tired of seeing the footage of our guys getting injured over and over again in my head. The words "re-aggravate" vs. "tweak" are particularly concerning. If Mule could PLEASE send a little knee-healing mojo his way, I'd greatly appreciate it. <br /><br />On the subject of Mule, I'm actually way less worried about his return. I know it's fast coming off an ACL, but unlike our other players, he hasn't had any setbacks with the recovering process, which I think is a really good sign. Sounds like he's being responsible about the Olympics & while he'd love to play for Sweden, I don't think he'll push it if he doesn't feel 100%.nurse nitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16448339664113768881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-67991482108478501532010-02-03T13:35:29.990-05:002010-02-03T13:35:29.990-05:00I was kind of feeling okay about the "tweak&q...I was kind of feeling okay about the "tweak" until I checked A2Y and saw the frame of the incident posted.

Truth be told, the number of injuries the Wings have suffered this season should make us nervous about seeing ANY of our players go overseas, although it's certainly their right (and a good thing, in my opinion) for them to play for their home countries. It really is too bad that all this had to go down in an Olympic year. It just compounds the issues we've had with injuries and with fighting to make the playoffs.<br /><br />I feel like after this is all said and done and we can laugh about it, "tweak" will become a TSO & Associates running joke. And I like that about us.Nataliehttp://thescrappyoctopus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-51019064757298197492010-02-03T11:14:25.968-05:002010-02-03T11:14:25.968-05:00I always thought that tweaking was something you d...I always thought that tweaking was something you did with a pipe, some foil, and a substance that you just cooked up in your bathtub.<br />Anyways, Nurse Nitz, I second your apprehension in having Kronner play in the Olympics. I have felt this way since he was injured the first time. I also feel this way about Franzie. What happens if they really f something up, especially with the fierce rivalries between countries? Sweden and Finland pretty much hate each other, don't they? Won't other teams take advantage of something like a slight "tweak"?<br />I didn't hear if it was his left or right ankle that was injured. But usually when one leg is injured, you overcompensate with the other, risking injury to the noninjured side. But he is a professional athlete and in incredible shape, so this is just probably a precaution. Because you do realize that we a playing the dirtiest, douchiest team in all of the Western conference tonight. Don't want to risk Cory "Giant Douchebag" Perry or Grecian Formula doing something sleazy and underhanded to our baby.Denanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-16761928314711996162010-02-03T10:25:45.744-05:002010-02-03T10:25:45.744-05:00Am so so depressed about Kronwall.

Seriously, I am SO glad I had to work last night because I honestly don't think my heart could have taken seeing him floundering out there on a blade-less skate and fearing the worst. Hopefully it really IS just a tweak and not another "2-week setback" that is my worst nightmare. <br /><br />As a nurse, I can't tell you that I've ever heard of an official definition of a "tweak," but I work in peds cardiology and not physical therapy/athletics so I have no freakin' clue. Either way, I want to know if it is really his ankle or his knee and how bad is it. Is it wrong of me to be really wary about him playing for Team Sweden? I really want to see him playing for the team (esp. after I put up a big stink about how The Joe was selling Team Sweden/Wings scarves for Z & Lids but not for Kronner/Homer/Mule), but if his knee is so sensitive that it's getting "tweaked" every other game, I'd rather see him use the time to heal.nurse nitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16448339664113768881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-25106169645796246672010-02-03T09:09:12.056-05:002010-02-03T09:09:12.056-05:00Krononymous and all the Kronwall-loving gang: I am...Krononymous and all the Kronwall-loving gang: I am so sorry.

Not fair.<br /><br />Vicky: That's awesome you were able to go to the game! (And even more awesome that they pulled out a win and played a solid game.) Yeah, when Kronwall went down in the first, I thought for sure something was messed up with his knee and watching him trying to stand up was horrifying. After they showed him getting his blade changed, it then became cute, kind of in the way watching a puppy try to climb up stairs that are too big for him is too cute. Now I'm just upset again.<br /><br />Can somebody please contact the AMA to get a clear definition of the term "tweak"? I thought this term only applied to a specific act committed in the midst of sexual congress.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06001384021623775472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-78770956990224795262010-02-03T09:08:06.582-05:002010-02-03T09:08:06.582-05:00No Kronner tonight so we're taking it from &qu...No Kronner tonight so we're taking it from "bitch" to "slut" status. <br /><br />The win was brilliant.
