Guest Agalloch Report post Posted March 28, 2007 There's been no topic about him in over a week or so, I think. I skimmed the first few pages, and found no topic on him, so does anyone have an update? I'm going crazy over the thought of having a fully healthy team for once, so he better hurry before someone else gets injured. Is he back tomorrow? Friday? Sunday? When?

CMatt89 63 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 Reports and Interviews say probobly not this week. He took part in his first team skate on monday. He is said to be looking pretty good..But, he, nor the team, want to rush anything. Probobly will play in either the final 2-3 games...or possibly game 1. Look in the Detroit Free Press articles. Theres always little sidenotes about him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flip-check 6 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 NFM's Prediction: I see him coming back Thursday, April 5th against Chicago. There you go, sir! Our own HR40 will be in attendance at that game, so she of all people'd definitely hope so. I'm worried how fast his top performance will come back after a month off though. I don't think we'd see the Z we know until round 2, unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to that game!!! I am having severe Hank withdrawals. He needs to play...not for the good of the team, but for my sanity. There you go, sir!

I'm gonna threaten him with a benching if he doesn't step it up. He may be my favorite but I also have the highest expectations from him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arnoldbuck 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 It's funny. There are some threads which seem to pop up every week which get really frustrating to deal with over and over ... haha, but with the news on Zet's being back ... There could be something new everyday and I wanna hear it. Hurry back, we all miss ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HenrikRules40 14 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 A little unrealistic, don't you think? .........After being off for over a month? Yeah you're right. I'm just too eager to see him perform at the level I know he can perform at...know what I mean? Realistically, I would give him five games or so to get back into his game shape. God knows he already had a bit of a tummy and after just lying in bed for three weeks he's probably partial mush. But he's a professional...I have no worries.

arnoldbuck 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 I know there have been soo many threads since the trade dealine about how we are going to make our lineups look when everyone is back ... but with Z getting better and better, and closer to in game action, sure makes me wonder how it will play out and who everyone will be set up with.

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 I'm guessing Fridays game against Dallas is now out of the picture. In that case, at least one of the games against Columbus or Chicago. He does need a few games to get back into game shape, so that's when they'll probably bring him back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hated and proud 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 I know you don't give a damn what a Pred fan thinks but I would not put him in until you hit the hawks games. Thet'll give him some work in a lower pressure (theoritically) game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StaticWithABeat 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 He can take as much time as he needs, as long as he's ready to rock come playoff time. Without him we would be dead in the water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Louisville 112 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 I know you don't give a damn what a Pred fan thinks but I would not put him in until you hit the hawks games. Thet'll give him some work in a lower pressure (theoritically) game. If he technically is ready to go now, and he takes the extra rest until Sunday, It's not a bad idea for him to get four games in before the playoffs. Hank will need at least a few games to get his timing back. Four games with a full lineup would also give Babcock time to figure out who's sitting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thet'll give him some work in a lower pressure (theoritically) game. lol you are apart of the board so any and all opinions are welcomed! I agree with you, btw. I'd always get that feeling though that the Hawks may try and run at him or something..that's the worst part about being so close to the playoffs, bottom feeders try and take you out.

(Kidding, yo! I'm twenty-four) Happy early birthday! I'm hoping for a stellar weekend newsbreaking on him returning for Tuesday's game against Columbus... but I doubt it. It'd be a great way to top off finishing two exams that day with getting to see the Wings and Z though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
