The diggers are reporting that Brad Stuart was held out of team practice today in Phoenix while he battles the flu. Lay it on us, Helene St. James (@FreepWings)!
Per Holland: Stuart is at team hotel. Got same bug that kept Lidstrom out of Montreal game.
As our intrepid Graham asks, does this mean a million "Life after Stuart?" questions if the Wings lay an egg?
Ansar Khan (@AnsarKhanMLive) has a bit more on Cleary as well:
Danny Cleary left Wings skate early. Been bothered by fluid in knee lately. will update shortly
If you remember, Cleary went to the hospital last week when a bursa sac in his knee burst. My limited medical knowledge is that it's going to hurt, but won't necessarily keep him out of the lineup. Expect that he'll have the knee drained when the team returns to Detroit.
No word yet on MacDonald or Conklin in net tonight. We'll update the post as soon as we know.
[Update: Cleary and MacDonald in]

Joey Mac for president!

Jimmah is the President.
Joey can be VP of crease protection.

Ha ha, got my vote!
But yes, Jimmy is President-For-Life and Supreme Commander of the Tiberius Legion. All hail the Jimmah!
And so glad that the powers that be saw the writing on the wall and let Joey Mac back up his challenge, instead of stubbornly insisting on the status quo (see: current power play).
Relentlessly preaching the word of TPH and converting the heathens in the NHL wasteland that is Oregon.
Isn't Tiberius just de facto Caesar?
Howard’s reign is not democratic.
There will be no voting.
There will be no asking permission.
Howard will protect the great Republic at the end of a sword.

Hells yeah. And protect his crease with his "Gauntlet of Vengeance"...
…“And Punishment of Crybabies, Goalie-Runners, and assorted riff-raff that dared disrespect The Jimmah”.

Can we make Conklin Caesar?
Just so the fans can get the satisfaction of ganging up and shanking him to death (or in this case, the AHL).

He could get stabbed by one of the Coyotes tonight
Et tu, Brule?

It's official...
February is here. Time for the annual injury parade!
Let’s just hope it all turns out the same way 2008 did.

Since Stuart's got the flu, but still may play
can they have him wear a full diving-like mask, with attached breathing apparatus, so that he doesn’t infect any more of his teammates? But on the other hand, maybe he could breath and cough on the Phoenix players to start the flu over there.

If we're instituting biological warfare...
….can we attack San Jose first?? Or St. Louis, gentlemens’ choice. For this season, maybe decimating our Central rivals is worth holding off on some well-deserved vengeance on the Sharks (and their fans, if the wind/AC is right).

Exactly
Punishing them too much is like kicking a puppy (pun sorta intended). But SJS/STL/CHI et. al.? Don your gas masks, brothers, ‘cause there’s incoming.

Not sure if this is relevant
And I’m not trying to be an ass..
Cleary went to the hospital last week when a bursa sac in his knee burst
Per a Cleary interview with Helene St. James at the Freep it was a Baker’s cyst, not a bursa sac.
I’m not sure that’s a better or not, though.

I can't think of a pun for a Baker's cyst.
So let’s stick with bursa sac
Goalies are enforcers too.

The flu has been germinating around the damn locker room since the beginning of January
It started with Lidstrom and then Babs got it.
Now Stuart.

Maybe it was given to the whole first power play unit?
It would explain their sickly play.

So what if Joey Mac craps the bed and Conklin comes in and saves the day?
WHAT THE HELL DO WE BANDWAGON TO THEN?
Pierre McGuire is a blithering dimwit.
About that..
Neither has any trade value. The correct answer was have Lidstrom’s creators make Jimmy bionic.

We burn the bandwagon
and just sit in silence and think about how our lives got to this point.
It's like ESPN Detroit, except less uptight: The Detroit Hustle
As someone awesome said a few posts back....."Viva la Cyborg Jimmah!"
Good backup plan! (literally, as in if our backups implode).
(And that totally deserved researching who that was…it was Lords of Olympia. Apparently Wings minds think alike!)
