wingsfan75 2 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 It really didn't seem like he hurt himself that bad on the Osgood hit. I missed the Lapointe hit on him though. It's too bad he can't start the playoffs from the get-go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viperar 16 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 i think most of all im just frustrated, cause we finally get zetterberg back, the last of our injury worries, sparing kops and kronner, and then this happens, theres just no end to this crap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quadnational 3 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 I guess I may be panicking a little. But, I do believe that the Wings really need to win Games 1 and 2 to have a chance in this series. And not having Bert there doesn't help matters... But, I would rather have Zed back than Bert, if I had to pick one of the two... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueMonk 102 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 Wings have to win both games 1 and 2 to have a real chance at winning this series. That just got much harder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I say 1 in 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayUp88 1 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 It's a psychological tactic. Making the Flames think they won't have to deal with him. All the while, they are feeding him nothing but Harley motorcycles and showing him video of his mother being beaten by a man in a Flames jersey. haha i love it. I am with you on this one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) damnit, didnt Z say he was gonna be back for game 1, i swear i saw the article on here http://www.mlive.com/redwings/stories/inde....xml&coll=1 "He's going to play, he's ready to go,'' Mike Babcock said. "He's been (skating) for two weeks, it's about time he plays.'' Babcock said he will reunite Zetterberg with Pavel Datsyuk. Along with Tomas Holmstrom, they formed one of the most dominant lines in the NHL from late December until the end of February. Zetterberg had 14 goals and 28 points in his last 13 games before being idled. Datsyuk, who continued to flourish in Zetterberg's absence, said he's happy to have him back as the center on their line so that Zetterberg can resume doing the back-checking. "I think if I come back I have to do a little bit of back-checking,'' Zetterberg said. "But, I don't mind that, playing with him. Today was the first time we practiced together (on the line) in a long time. We had fun out there, like always.'' Zetterberg said he feels better than he did last week and hasn't experienced what he termed a bad day for some time. Still, he said he needs to see how he feels today before being absolutely certain of his status. "If I feel like this, I'm going to play Thursday,'' he said. "I feel pretty good, confident.''

Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 Um, what? I heard, after the above interview was done, that even if Z is feeling like playing Thu, he may just practice with the team and make sure there are no more kinks. He has only had one full practice so far anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 man i hope youre right I hope he's right too. I am just saying that he may play it safe for game 1. But hopefully that is just misinformation.

Inultus 12 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 No Z , and No Bert. Datsyuk better be a one man show our were in trouble Dude, please don't make misinformed statements like that. All you are doing is fostering negativity. Holmstrom and Franzen both have more points than Dats against the Flames in our wins against them this season, so I guess that maybe we don't need a one-man show after all.

OsGOD 3 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 Well, I am cool with it so long as Bert will be back in the sadle again for game 2. Especially now since I just scored two nosebleed tickets. Well actually offsides got them for me for my B-day So its all good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StevieY9802 6 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 No one will know until game time on Thursday whos in and whos out. If I had to pick one guy to have to wait until Sundays game it would be Bert. I think they can live without him for a game. I would rather have Zetterberg back in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OsGOD 3 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 With the amount of recent injuries and our conquering the West, it just shows that our team is based on more than just a few players. They are playing like a team. If one or two players being out takes our chances from Awesome to squat than we have no business Hoisting the cup at the end as we don't have the best "team" in the NHL, we only have a few great players. I am not concerned at all, they have been playing like a team and it takes that team playing to battle through all 16+ games. GO WINGS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
