Schneider: OUT with Broken Wrist

[Offsides 21]

Boo, why is it all of our d-men?? UGH.

[Viperar 16]

Larry Murphy just said lebda should be able to play in game 6!

that makes it somewhat better

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Well craptacular.

Hopefully Lebda will be back.

And what's the status on Kronwall? though it's a little scary to have him coming back in the playoffs after being out for this length of time.

[Dabura 12,207]

Brett said he could have played today but the coaching staff was being cautious. He'll probably be in Monday.

That's good. I like Meech, but obviously Lebda's the safer bet.

So now, the big question:

WHY THE HELL CAN'T WE CATCH A BREAK WITH INJURIES???

Seriously, all season-llong. It's mind-boggling.

yeah thats better then a GRR

i guess thats a bit of good news ....

[commadore183 103]

Crud. Hope Schneider gets better soon and Lebs comes back in.

[Airborn 0]

Damn!

I would expect to see Lebda back for game 6.

And what's the status on Kronwall? though it's a little scary to have him coming back in the playoffs after being out for this length of time.

After his injury, it was stated he could come back for the Stanley Cup finals, but probably no sooner.

Not to mention the fact that Anaheim has no one injured...

what is up wth that

each team that we play never has anyone injured and we always have at least two guys out who are real key players to our team. Grrr why are we so injury proned???

The Wings need to win one more, then we can worry about that.

[Mighty Wings 0]

Ugh. We will likely see an increased dose of samuelsson and lidstrom on the PP. I expect lebda to take schneider place when he returns, but lebda doesn't have as big of a shot as him.

f***! of course. we're about to get lebda back, so you knew somebody was going down. this rotating door of d'men injuries has been turning all season. unbelievable!!! this is a huge blow. especially if we make it to the ducks. DAMN!!!

i thought i heard conference finals.

[Guest GodofHockeyStevieY19]

Absolutely devastating...

[glasgowcelticwing 18]

No disrespect to the team's that the Duck's have played but they've had a hell of an easier time than the Wings . it was inevitable that that the Wings where going to pick up injuries against two of the toughest team's in the NHL.

Look on the bright side, if we win next game, we get to play an even tougher Anaheim team!

Keep it rolling boys!

Awww MAN !!! Don't remind us, at this rate if we get by the Shark's the Wings are gonna be all pooped out.

[Zeta Power 40 1]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[USAFWingedWheel 4]

the way i look at it...what doesn't brake them, makes them that much stronger....we faced allot of adversity so far and we're used to it...it will be that much harder on anaheim once they face it...as for schneider, he'll be back...watch and see...

[redwinger4747 6]

This is ******* RIDICULOUS!! We can't get any ******* BREAKS with all the injuries, f***!!

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

WHAT?! Done? Done for how long? You mean the rest of the playoffs?

[YoungGuns1340 1]

A wrist break usually takes at least 4 weeks to heal. Hes done for the playoffs.

This sucks, but I have a strong feeling that the Wings will brush it off and keep on rolling. Players will have to step up and play bigger now, especially our Dmen. Getting Lebda back in Game 6 will at least add more speed to our back end and if/when we make it to the 3rd round, at least Lebda will have had a game or two to shake off the rust.

[Kp-Wings 3]

We'll see how the Wings respond. Babcock always speak of "adversity", so we'll see how the Wings can handle this.

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

A couple weeks ago Kronner said that if the Wings get to the Conference finals that he'd be able to play then. Not getting ahead of myself..but just stating what I read.

[drw1319 0]

uggh I just realized how much this sucks he is a major key player in our line up

he helps us out on the

PP

PK

and during regular ice time

ughh I'm so pissed off right now...this is a major blow!

[CdnWingsFanEh 2]

s***! This sucks.

On the brighter side, with Lebda coming back, at least Quincy has been playing really well. (needs a positive to look at).
