Mike Modano undergoes surgery on lacerated wrist.

Detroit Red Wings forward Mike Modano has undergone surgery after suffering a laceration from a skate blade on his right wrist during a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night. The veteran will be out of the lineup indefinitely depending on the progress of his recovery.

Modano left the game against Columbus with about six minutes left in the second period. He returned to Detroit following the game. The surgery was performed this morning at the Detroit Medical Center.

Modano's injury included one severed tendon and slight damage to a nerve.

Modano, 40, signed a one-year contract with the Red Wings over the summer after playing his entire career with the Dallas Stars franchise.

The Michigan native has two goals and six assists in 20 games this season.

Kevlar hot and uncomfortable - GM Toronto Maple Leafs

This is from an article quoting Brian Burke re Kevlar skate socks:

"We do have a number of players wearing (them). I know the reaction of (some of ) the guys who tried them was that they're very hot uncomfortably warm."

They should be wearing Tuff-n-Lite Hockey skate socks!
