Ted Kulfan wins the Optimist of the Week award with this bit from the “Burning Questions” feature:
Q. Is there any reason to be concerned about Dominik Hasek’s right wrist injury?
A. Yes, given Hasek’s history with injuries. He doesn’t like to play if he isn’t feeling 100 percent.
The Wings knew it was a bit of a gamble signing Hasek, but so far they’ve been lucky. Maybe their luck is about to run out.
It could make for an interesting week.
Um, thanks, Ted. I was doing a pretty good job of not freaking out about the injury before that little confidence builder.
I’m sure he will be okay soon. He is an older dude and just gets sore sometimes I think.
Looks like he’s okay now, as he’s supposed to play Saturday. That’s a relief, though there’s still a chance Kulfan could be right, as Dom hasn’t actually played a game since his wrist started bothering him. Definitely something to watch, but not necessarily worry about.
