HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted April 3, 2007 Well that's good, just give him some rest. As fo the Hank situation. I don't think he should be rushed back. I mean I'd love for him to play at least one game of the next three to see how he looks out there, but the playoffs are much more important. I just don't want it to be where he comes back and is rusty and won't get things going for awhile..but then again we are talking about Henrik Zetterberg here.

Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted April 3, 2007 I wonder if Hank will even be ready for the last game of the season. Mike said there was only a "slight" chance he'd go Thursday so I'm already chalking that one up as a no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted April 3, 2007 I would prefer it Hank come back by Thursday. I mean, I don't want to rush him or anything, but at the same time I don't want him to be totally out of shape come playoff time. Remember last year Datsyuk didn't play for about a few weeks until Game 2, and it was noticed in his play. In another sense, I guess it's fine though. He could always use the extra rest.

Wingsfan4life19 26 Report post Posted April 3, 2007 Forward Henrik Zetterberg won't play tonight against Columbus because of his inflamed disk, although defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom will likely return from a lower back strain. Zetterberg hopes to be in the lineup this week when the Wings finish the regular season with a home-and-home with Chicago. - Detroit Free Press http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?fid=10460&hubname= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope hank gets a couple of games too, just to get back into the swing of things. But Henrik Zetterberg is THE MAIN MAN! He will be ready even if he doesn't.

This is different. Last year, Datsyuk never even got a practice or skate in before Game 2. Zetterberg has been doing that for a couple weeks now. It's just a matter of getting some consistency of how his back feels from day to day. One day it feels good, the next not so good. that's the problem right now.

kylee 727 Report post Posted April 3, 2007 Yep, I bet your right that would make sense since mike said it wasn't important for him to be in the game tonight. i dont think of coaches saying that even if a team has a spot clinched in the play-offs. i mean the Wings DO hhave something to play for all the way through the rest of the season. and i did not know that he was a Jew. Schneider isn't a Jewish name, is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
