Now that the playoffs are over... how long until we find out about who was hurt?

[kherty]

I thought the Mule dislocated Crosby's hip.....was suprised to see him skating!

Im sure when Babcock does a press confrence some of the injuries might get mentioned, I dont expect him to tell all its not his personality.

If Datsyuk played the whole series.. we win the cup.. oh well

I'm not bashing a single player until I hear the injuries.

[Number19]

well except Stuart.

[GetYourRedOn!]

Forget injuries. They just didn't want it bad enough. Didn't put in enough effort to win it. On to next season.

I'm more just curious. The offseason is when the veil gets lifted a little bit and we learn that a "lower body injury" can mean anything from a broken foot to dislocated shoulder.

You mean the excuses thread?

yeah horrible thread

datsyuk played the last two games when we only scored 2 goals?

hmm

[Firehawk]

Mickey Redmond didn't come out and say the injuries but he mentioned the following players were very banged up:

Holmstrom
Cleary
Draper
Datsyuk
Lidstrom
Rafalski

He said none of them would even be playing if it weren't for the WCF.

I will be very interested to see what all of the injuries were.

yeah horrible thread

not really

No, doesn't even have to be cup final related for that matter. Injuries didn't cost us a damn thing this run.

Last 3, his first was our 5-0 win.

Thanks to his defensive efforts Malkin who single handedly held down the fort for the Pens in the first 4 games was reduced to being a non-factor, much like last year. I think its a fair excuse, though an excuse none the less. If the Wings truly deserved the cup they'd have won tonight's game or game 6, but instead Pittsburgh role players and depth stepped up which is what great teams do.

No need to downplay such talk though, this board is a catharsis to a lot of grieving fans at the moment which I find understandable. Wings had a come back you could write a movie based on in their grasp.

Over at mlive, they mentioned something about Zetterberg having something up with his wrist or hand. Apparently, he has been wearing a different glove on one hand since the WCF.

The more I hear about the injuries the Wings had the more impressed I am that they made it as far as they did.

[OsGOD]

Crosby has a hurt mangina


but he was still able to lift that 35lb cup just fine




and i think i saw that Hossa has a bruised ego... he said he would be willing to work next year on a $1 salary like the CEO of Chrysler

The Wings were really banged up. It's amazing they made it this far. You have to proud of this team!

Have to agree, there was way too much injury this year. Most teams would have bowed out a long time ago from the quality losses we suffered. I think they played pretty hard considering what I am GUESSING to be some terrible injuries to fight through.
