Crawford

[GoBucky]

Corey isn't on the ice again today...apparently nursing a groin pull.

 

[roshinaya]

Hopefully it's nothing that will nag him the rest of the season. They need him to stay healthy if they are to make some serious noise.

He was nursing it all through Camp as well. Played back to back and looked pretty good so I'm sure it's not serious.

 

[GoBucky]

Yep...had it for a while...aggravated it on Saturday.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Welp... lets hope Emery is ready. May as well rest Craw now.

I'm not going to be concerned about it right now. As the season goes on it may cause some issues. Right now I am going to remain positive that it's something he will be able to nurse throughout the season.

 

[bubbleheadchief]

either that or the drugs were real good.

Groin pulls suck. He'll be nursing that all year. Especially as a goalie.

Yep. Only thing that makes it better is rest.

Blackhawks' injury news encouraging



By Chris Kuc Tribune reporter

1:23 p.m. CDT, October 11, 2011

Things are looking up for the Chicago Blackhawks on the injury front.



Despite starting goaltender Corey Crawford missing his second consecutive practice with a sore groin, Tuesday, coach Joel Quenneville anticipates the netminder will return to practice Wednesday and "should be alright" to start against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night at the United Center.



"We had the luxury of this scheduling this week (with) the added days (off) to make sure we don't have to keep dealing with this and get it right," Quenneville said of Crawford's injury. "He's doing well, though."



Also encouraging was the progress of forwards Viktor Stalberg and Ben Smith. Stalberg, who is recovering from a knee injury, skated on his his own prior to Tuesday's practice at the United Center. The winger was injured during a preseason game when he had a knee-to-knee hit with the Detroit Red Wings' Justin Abdelkader.



"(Stalberg's) doing well," Quenneville said. "We'll see if we get him in practice (Wednesday). He's progressing a litte bit more each day. He feels good."



Smith, who is recovering from a concussion suffered during the same exhibition game against the Wings, practiced with teammates Tuesday.



"He's close," Quenneville said. "It's the first day he looked as good as I've seen him. He skated well, he looked like he had the pace. He said he felt well too. He's really progressing and he's real close to getting into a game."

Uh oh Salak recalled... might be a more serious injury?

 

[MassHavoc]

Where are you seeing this? I haven't seen it reported yet, but haven't really looked either.

 

[klemmer]

Groin injuries to goalies are something you don't screw around with. Hopefully, they sit Crow and let it rest.



So, who do you start, Salak or Emery?

 

[BlackHawkPaul]

Emery. Hands down.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Have I ever posted a news tidbit that has been wrong?



=D

 

[MassHavoc]

Yes, constantly. But most of them are overestimates of how big your penis is.

 

[GoBucky]

Supposedly Crawford is on the ice today...Emery is not.

[MassHavoc]

My first instinct was Emery not Craw, especially after yesterday's report of Craw doing better.

 

[BlackHawkPaul]

Supposedly Crawford is on the ice today...Emery is not.

That just means Emery's getting the sodas.
