On the Wings

Looks like Helene St James may have been a bit over-optimistic earlier when she told us that Jason Williams might return Friday. She now has an update on the injured forward’s status:

“I don’t think I’ll be playing Friday for sure,” Williams said. “Saturday, we’ll see how I feel.”

That means the Wings will have to call someone up for Friday’s game if they don’t want to be short a forward. Many have suggested we need an enforcer, a la Brad Norton. He’s nursing a back injury right now though, so if they want to go that route, they’d have to call up Darryl Bootland. Another likely option would be Josh Langfeld. Ken Holland is supposed to be in Grand Rapids tonight, so I guess we’ll see who catches his eye.
