Steve Thomas arrives

Steve Thomas arrived in Detroit last night after finally receiving his work visa. He will practice with the Wings today and make the three game road trip with the team. Dave Lewis says they are going to ease him into the lineup because he missed their training camp and exhibition season. They will monitor his ice-time closely and it sounds like he may not be playing on Wednesday. Let's hope he does play because the Wings need him, whether he knows the system inside and out or not. Hopefully he's a quick learner.
