Hairy issue: Injury shelves Wild’s Fernandez

Wild goalie Manny Fernandez will miss his scheduled start against the Calgary Flames tonight after injuring his neck and back toweling off in the shower.
The team listed Fernandez’s injury as back spasms. He hurt himself when he bent over to dry his hair after showering at the Xcel Energy Center following Tuesday’s practice.
The team hoped his mobility would improve overnight. But treatment this morning did little to loosen up the muscles, and the team decided to start Dwayne Roloson in the season opener against the Flames at Xcel Energy Center.
Rookie Josh Harding was recalled from Houston of the American Hockey League to back up Roloson.
Harding was an emergency call-up, which means the Wild can keep him for 48 hours without his counting against the 23-man active roster.

HeH!!!!!! Fernandez is MINE! MINE I tell Ya!!!
oh, the humanity!
If i was there i'd be giving him a massage every 1hour, heated even! get him stretched out in a hottub, massage, gentle stretching, alternating with a cold/cool cloth. I 'd have had him on his feet by game time!!!
and if he won, i'd have a little something extra for him service wise too ;)
Josh is a cutie :) saw him at the game.. *growl*
