Martin Havlat injured in game vs Wild

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Just saw on CBC that Martin Havlat was hurt during a a scrum, he was favoring his right shoulder and immedietly left the ice crouched over. That would be a huge loss for the Hawks, they just can't seem to stay healthy

Havlat is as injury prone as hell. He wasent gonna have a great season anyways, but now he doesnt even get to start it.

Cant say im too disappointed, the Hawks got no chance on Saturday now.

Get better soon Havlat, but not too soon .

I saw that as well but it looked to me like he hurt his wrist. In the scrum I noticed his wrist get crunched into the ice. But we'll know for sure tomorrow.

Call me crazy but I see us being good enough to beat Chicago handedly whether they have Havlet or not, now I think we may under estimate them more so than normal. Lord knows the Wings aren't above beating teams they should dominate.

Needless to say I hope him a speedy recovery, I want the Central to be as competitive as possible.

This is going to hurt their chances of owning Zetterberg on the 6th. It's all up to Ruutu now.

When isnt Havlat injured? I wouldn't want that guy on our squad. That's for sure.

[Production Line 1]

He should invest in band-aids...

[Yzerfan1999 81]

This is getting pathetic - this guy is always hurt.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Then Habby's gonna go down, then someone else. The trend once again continues in Chicago

[Guest DetroitIan]

The only true question is, which player will play more games this year, Havlat or Forsberg(if he ever gets signed)? lol

[Rob the Badger 0]

I guess rather than 'owning' Zet now, he 'owns' an ace bandage.

Hawks just can't seem to win....But you dont need a crystal ball to see that he's going to be missing some time this year with an injury.

It's kinda sad. Not that I'm a Hawks fan or anything, but this team really needs to start being competitive. Chicago could (no, actually should) be a great hockey city. I was hoping that they would finally turn the corner. Having a good Wings/Hawks rivalry will not only make things more interesting, but would be great for the league.

this is way i didn't pick him up this year in fantasy. I had him two years in a row and he always got hurt.

[kylee 727]

reading through their message board some people are expecting him to be out 3-4 months!?!

wowww.

chicago can't catch a break.

God help them if Lang gets injured as well!!!1!

I totally agree, I am a die hard Wings fan, but I would love to see ALL the O-6 teams put good, solid, competitive teams on the ice. When the Hawks and Wings went toe to toe in 95 WCF's it was very cool.

its weird... i feel the same way.

like, i want chicago to be good. the nashvilel mini-rivalry is cool and all, but im not sure if nashville is going to be able to play like they did last year, let alone get better, so to have chicago improve (on the shoulders of bobby lang) it would be great to see.

as much as i know chicago fans literally hate the red wings and us who are the fans, i still want them to get better.

on the positive side:

bulin wall looked good last night. crazy.

I remember the Wings/Hawks '95 WCF very fondly. That series had a real electricity to it: lots of one goal games, excellent pace, good physicality. Chelios and Belfour were monsters in that series! Probably the only recent Wings series to give me close to that same feeling was last year's Sharks matchup.

Agreed, the Hawks sure didn't lose that series because of Belfour he played out of his mind if I remember correctly.....

A lot of people forget how scary Belfour used to be to play against. In recent years he has been pretty ordinary, but in the early to mid '90s, he was totally ridiculous to play against. And really, REALLY hard to beat.

This guy must make more $$$ per actual minute on ice than almost any player in history.

More so than Yashin?

Another note on this topic, I really, REALLY miss CBC, it's the only drawback to having DirecTV.

What the hell do they need Havlat for? They got one of the most clutch players in the league now in Robert Lang. Not to mention now that he's reunited with Williams, the best tandem in the league is back together.
