Carlo Colaiacovo hopes to return this weekend from shoulder injury #redwings
I think Detroit media is just gun-shy after Lidstrom retired and Datsyuk talked a lot about how much fun he had playing in Russia during the lockout. Some speculated that he'd sign a one or maybe two-year deal after this one and then return, while others went completely "THE SKY IS FALLING, DATS ISN'T COMING BACK!!!111".
But yeah, Datsyuk has said that he wants to end his career in Russia. The question is when and for how long he wants to play there...
GO WINGS!

Did you see the Kronwell shirt? Made me facepalm.
GO WINGS!
Sounds like all of the injured Wings are progressing well with some likely to be back Wednesday.
Samuelsson, Bertuzzi and Helm still do not sound close.Holland did say he expects to have some players currently sidelined back and ready for action Wednesday. Among those possibilities are forward Johan Franzen (hip flexor), defenseman Kyle Quincey (ankle) and goaltender Jonas Gustavsson.

Franzen is ready to return tomorrow while Brendan Smith AND Kyle Quincey say they're ready to go. Waiting approval on the latter two.
Filppula will be out with a sore shoulder. Not good timing Mr. Filppula...

Babcock said Quincey and Smith are in tonight. White and Huskins are healthy scratches.
White over Kindl.....interesting. Kindl manning the 2nd PP as well as having four points in his last five games has to be the reasoning. I don't see anything coming out of it, but if the kid finally has some offensive confidence the last thing the Wings want to do is put him in the press box.
That's a frustrating loss for the Wings.....
I am absolutely psyched for the game today. I feel a regulation win coming...
I hate Jonathan Ericsson right now......
Brutal. Hawks are on such a ridiculous run. Playing well + insane luck.

Alright guys, I'm finally getting some time to cover the Wings. I apologize for the lack of coverage lately, but I'll make up for it.
Interesting read on Mattias Backman right here.

The Wings square off against Colorado tonight at the Joe. Giguere and Howard are the starting goalies in the game.
Go Wings Go!
