Kronner Slowly Begins Rehabbing

Helene St. James from the Freep has an article on Niklas Kronwall’s injury history. She also remarks on the defenseman can do right now as far as trying to stay in game shape in the hope he can play again sometime during the playoffs:

While [his Red Wings teammates] lifted weights and rode bikes, Kronwall sat on the floor, squeezing and relaxing thigh muscles — about the only leg exercise he can undertake for the next three weeks.

So, as he has done many times, Kronwall must endure a long recovery. Right now, his aerobic conditioning is limited to an arm-bike. He’ll have to use crutches for three weeks and wait for the numbness that is affecting his right leg to subside.

Bill (formerly Ansar?) Khan also has an article on Kronwall, as does Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News.

You have to appreciate his intiative to do whatever he can to get ready to play if he gets the chance to do so this playoff season. Sure, he’s a professional athlete and it’s what he must do. But with the incredibly bad luck he’s had with injuries you have to appreciate his attitidue in spite of the many setbacks he’s faced.
