Wings Injury Update

Holmstrom is going to see an eye specialist tomorrow, and if all goes well they are going to try and get him on the plane so he can play in Game 4. *crosses fingers*

Lebda is aiming for Game 5. He said if it were the regular season he'd be out 4-6 weeks... yikes. Luckily, Quincey is doing a great job filling in. Get better soon, Lebs!

keeping my hopes up for homer, i cant see lebda coming back soon, but im not TOO worried as quincey has been playing simple defensive hockey, and has been extremely sturdy

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

We need a split in SJ , and if we get Lebda and Homer back , for games 5 and 6 this thing is ours

[Vincanni 1]

We need Homer more than anyone right now, glad to see he's eying a game 4 return.

[Zeta Power 40 1]

We need Lebda's speed, but Quincey has impressed me thus far.

I do not understand what is with Lebda. Is it from the concussion or ankle? It cant be the ankle because he was playing through that and he didnt miss any time until the concussion. Why oh why wasnt Langkow suspended???

Didn't he injure the ankle on the same play?

Yeah, he hurt he ankle as he went into the boards during his hit on Langkow. Then Langkow suckerpunched him and gave him the concussion. All one in the same.............unfortunately.

If we could get Homer back in Game 4 and then Lebda back in Game 5, I think we will see a good Wings victory in this series.

Honestly, I'd rather to see Holmstrom sit out as long as he needs rather than rush a return that could cost him his career, and life outside of hockey.

LOL PUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

The Wings need Holmstrom back, badly. As I've said in other threads, it seems like the media isn't giving him enough credit. He's a 30 goal scorer and causes boatloads of problems for the opposing goalie.

Forget the PBR, I think Cleary found the toughest 8 seconds if sports right there. As for Langkow I think I heard knews of him pushing a cripple down a flight of stairs later on that night.

[RedLightGoesOn 81]

Homer is vital right now.... he can put away those rebounds Nabby gives up.... HURRY HOMER!

[auxlepli 17]

Langkow should be Lemiuexed next year IMO.

I'm seething with anger

“It’s going to hurt, so it’s a matter of not making a mistake because of it.”

I don't like the sound of that at all. Quincey has done very well in Lebda's absence. Of course I'd rather have Lebda in there, but not at the cost of his injury directly causing some scoring chances (and possibly even a goal). It's just not worth it since Quincey has been solid.

" Brett Lebda (ankle) is also out for Game 3. Lebda skated before Game 1 and said that was a setback. He hasn't skated since, but will try on Tuesday in San Jose."

As long as they come when they are ready, if they need to be out a few more games, I just want them to be almost 100%

[superstarsingh 23]

I could reeaally go for Homer in the lineup. Hopefully he is good to go on Wednesday night.

Is he some sort of food or meal? "I could really go for a burger right now."
