toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 I know Crosby didn't play the other night. I think a lot has to do with jumping back into the grind after being off for awhile and your body not quite being ready. Some of it also relates to the fact that this is really just preparation and the games are not that important to guys like Crosby and Datsyuk, they are not in battles to make their respective teams, so they take time off for cautionary reasons. Lidstrom's is just fluke. With Crosby and Datsyuk for example, I bet if we were in the middle of the regular season, they'd be playing and you'd never hear about these injuries.

Chunkylover 26 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 Rafalski, Quincey, and I think Cleary were injured in the pre-season last year. The philosophy is that since the games don't mean anything it's best to bench someone for a minor injury which, during the regular season, they would otherwise play through.

The philosophy is that since the games don't mean anything it's best to bench someone for a minor injury which, during the regular season, they would otherwise play through. Yep you have a point there... Rafalski is a bit sore and won't play tonight it appears: Quote: "It looks like Brian Rafalski will have the night off. He's sore, could have played tonight, but they're giving him the night off. Here are the probable defense pairings for tonight's preseason game ... Meech-Lebda Kindl-Chelios Quincey-Atherton And the forward lines with Datsyuk sidelined ... Holmstrom-Filppula-Hossa Kopecky-Draper-Maltby Leino-Abdelkader-Mursak Oulahen-McGrath-Downey Ty Conklin will start in net with Jimmy Howard backing up. The plan is for Conklin to play the entire game" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
40#1Fan 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 more from MLIVE: ANOTHER UPDATE: Coach Mike Babcock on Datsyuk and team soreness/injuries ... "I think everyone's pretty good," said Babcock. "We have the day off tomorrow and we'll monitor everyone. We've got a whole bunch of guys that are sore. We'll see after the day off, we'll have a better idea who's injured and who's sore." There are no practices Saturday ... the only day of the preseason without anything scheduled. Sunday morning will be the next on-ice test for Datsyuk.

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 I ASK, WHERE ARE OUR ENFORCERS?? I sincercely hope this is a joke. We have absolutely no clue how Dats got injured or that it was even from an opposing player the other night. I'm having a brainfart and can't remember which side of the grit debate you were on. Perhaps the caps were to indicate humor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LivingtheDream Report post Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) I hope this doesn't point to less than optimal off season training and discipline. Dats sure seems a hard worker and didn't miss a single game last year, so I am NOT saying he is lazy and he certainly does not suck! Speaking of being out of shape for the season, my God is the performance on the site tonight lousy. sllllooowwwwwwwwww and every other site I try rocks. We can (or used to) send a man to the moon, but we can't let 200 people talk about hockey. Edited September 26, 2008 by LivingtheDream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
