Red4wings4life 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2009 It better be a broken wrist or he should be playing. This is playoff hockey, you play hurt period. Mr. Captian would be playing though it, that I can promise you. Oh how I miss you stevie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh how I miss you stevie you play hurt, when it doesn't hurt the team... a guy with a bad back, or a torn tendon, hurts the team more than they help... Rafalski is always been a pretty big trooper, I gotta assume it's a big one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mindfly Report post Posted May 7, 2009 What if it happend in his home trying to fix the washing machine or something stupid like that.. it didnt happen during the columbus series so either at practice or off ice.... He has had groin problems for quiet some time my guess is some tear in his groin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sureWhyNot 19 Report post Posted May 7, 2009 He has a bad groin injury - he has been and will remain off the ice, even for practices, pre skates, etc. He won't be back for a minute, it's a shame, but the reality of the situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Ryan 1 Report post Posted May 7, 2009 Steve Yzerman missed plenty of playoff games due to injury. Yzerman was ALWAYS hurt in the playoffs. That's why Sergei was my fave. That guy didn't get hurt. You never once heard "Fedorov is playing with a ..." or "We'll see how much this affects Sergei's ability to ..." The guy was a horse, and that's what you need in the playoffs. Horses. Rafalski's done. He's soft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.OWingsFan 7 Report post Posted May 7, 2009 Whatever it is once again against Anaheim we've run into injury trouble on the blueline. I don't think Rafi will be back in this series even if it goes 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zaxx 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2009 I am putting my money on a lawn mower accident. If sakic can put himself out of the game with a snow blower injury then Rafi can hurt himself with a mower. It would be tragic and yet just another addition to our teams fortunes when we play against the Ducks. 07 our D is all hurt, 09 our D gets 8 days rest takes a break to work on the lawn and one is taken out by the mower!

We paused and slowed it down a bunch of times and got a really good look at it...it looks fine. No cast, no apparent swelling or bruising on his fingers or upper wrist.
