Game 5 Injury Update: Ericsson, Datsyuk, Lidstrom out

[Donzi 0]

Buddy of mine at the game just texed me and said Erricson did not warm up. Anyone hear anything?

[ComradeWasabi 109]

Are Zetterberg, Hossa, Franzen, Rafalski and Osgood playing?

If they are, then I'd imagine we'll win. Franzen will rip out eighteen mouthguards, the Hawks will all go to the box and then Z and Hoss will just score enough to give you Detroiters double Arbys.

I hope he is wrong.

Ericsson was a late scratch - the team said he complained of abdominal pain after this morning's skate and was taken to the Detroit Medical Center, where he was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and underwent surgery. He is expected to return to play in the next game

Right................

[Lidstrom for life 20]

On the bright side, with Huet in net we should be able to score at will. Final score = Wings 10 Hawks 8! lol

I blame all this on the team doctors.

Don't know why, I just figured that since they're doctors, they must be to blame.

Amazing how other teams' players look hurt (or in Havlat's case dead) and then play in the next game. Our guys look fine, finish the game, and next thing we know they miss the rest of the series. I'm tired of this pattern.

Knowing Lidstrom's threshold of pain and competitiveness, his injury must be a serious one. He wouldn't sit out for a minor injury just because we're up 3-1.

I know people want to remain optimistic, but there is no good news in this case.

Without knowing the medical facts you'd be insane to assume the team doctors are to blame.

Right................

Right what? They caught my appendix before it swelled and in two days I was out wakeboarding.

No kindl?

Just heard it on Vurses and you are correct.

Thanks

True story. It's a pretty routine surgury guys. Nothing to worry about. The possitive thing is the medical staff recognized the signs and got Big Rig into the hospital early enough that there weren't any complications.

Oh yeah. I completely forgot about that. Good call.

Who is taking his place in the roster?

What can I say?

I plan on becoming an ambulance chaser.

[SweWings 45]

For real? He's only gonna miss one game?

[sixer 37]

I honestly hope everyone can come back for Game 1 of cup final on Saturday, otherwise MASSIVE advantage to the Pens!!!
