[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Sounds good , bring on calgary

[hoogs 8]

Uhhh Zetts said maybe Thursday maybe not, and it says Bert is probable..............not the best news actually

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

If I can't play Thursday, then we'll shoot for Sunday (Game 2),'' Zetterberg said.

Not exactly 100% if you ask me.

Niiiccceee

[Hatchet Barry 71]

I'd be willing to bet that both Zetterberg and Bert will be playing for sure on Thursday. This teams ready.

[kozac 10]

Pretty sure that Zetter won't be there for game 1, judging by the uncertainty and last years example with Datsyuk.

[Chase 0]

Actually, Zetterberg sounded kinda unsure about game one. Bertuzzi is probable, but hasnt been cleared yet.

I'm all for the Wings winning the cup, but I wish I was as optimistic as you. Here's hoping you're right.

If the Wings get past the first two rounds, I'll be 100% with you.

[scotzman 29]

Neither one of them are 100% sure of their return... I am going to be cautiously optmistic though.

To Bertuzzi, Zetterberg, and anyone else who thinks they're being nagged by injuries: cut the crap, and GET IN THE FRICKING GAME! These are the playoffs, not training camp, not the preseason, not the regular season, the PLAYOFFS! I've had enough of this crap "if I can't play thursday....I hope to be back....we'll see when I'm ready, etc." from Z (and Bert now). Injuries are injuries, now PLAY THE GAME! Did Yzerman sit because of a torn-up knee, no! Now all I want to hear is "whatever my status, I'll be in Game 1."

You do realize that if they come back to soon, and they get one solid hit...they could be out the rest of the playoffs. Especially with a concussion. A example of that is Jarret Stoll of the Oilers came back to soon after suffering a mild concussion, and got hit again, now they don't no if he will be ready for the 07 pre season

Not saying this because I am a Flames fan. Just being truthful

As for Bert, really don't think he worries the Flames to much....they have shut him down lots, when he played with the Nucks, and they did play him 8 times a season.

I think the Flames should be more concerned about Datsyuk, yet he still needs to prove himself in the playoffs, but he is an awesome player.

I agree. It's never a problem of talent with this team (well not since the nineties). It's always psychological. If the boys feel like the train's left the station and they're gonna win it everyone seems to be able to step it up. We've seen it all season. The reason why Z could carry the team through games where 70% of the players phoned it in was his ability to dominate the ice like a superstar in February. He'd kinda step it up and people would go "oh yeah, we're the effing Red Wings" and it'd be a forgone conclusion (most of the time).

I honestly think Pav's going to be on fire and if he is then Z will quickly catch the flames (sweeeet double entandre). Those two feed off eachother, and Z's rust can't last long when he's doing his "kids in the school yard" thing with Pav.

Edit: missed a word

I thought they just recently started playing division teams 8 X's a year?

I'd be with him if the world was going to end this August. Otherwise that logic is retarded.

Tough guys don't magically speed up their healing. Playing hurt will catch up with you- and Z has 10 years of magic left for us. Trading that for one year is a horrible idea. Horrible.

This calls for the happy dance!!!

The last 2 seasons....Oops my bad

You know what I mean

1 Season 8 x

playoffs in 04

and seasons before that

[wingslogo19 281]

If Zetts isn't 100% let him rest and then get him in game 2.. Bert should be ready to go, he's a freight train
