Yzerman2010 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 I have yet to read an official report on all of our injuries in the playoffs. I may have missed it so I was wondering if anyone has come across an official injury report. Thanks. BTW - Eaves is going to help our PK. i'd like to see Datsyuk and Zetterberg on one unit and Helm and Eaves on the other. Cleary and Franzen as well. j williiams is going to use this year to cash in next year. he will score 20 and end up with 45-50pts. Datsuyk Zetterberg Franzen (this line would give teams fits) (away games switch Datsyuk and Cleary) Cleary Filppula Leino Williams Helm Eaves Maltby Draper Holmstrom Lidstrom Rafalski Kronwall Stuart (regular season was avg. played great up until pitt series in playoffs) Ericsson Lebda (I think Ericsson looked really good playing with Lidstrom in playoffs then looked scared when dropped to third pairing) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

egroen 384 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 Okay now does anyone know the injury list for the Penguins? Sergei Gonchar missed a few games from a knee-on-knee collission with Ovechkin Sykora missed a couple games for an injury in the playoffs and then a few more for sucking Crosby was injured in Game 7 of the Finals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
egroen 384 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 The Penguins lost just three man-games to injuries in 24 games. (Gonchar: 2; Sykora: 1) The Red Wings lost about 70 man-games to injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kemosabi 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 story of the 1-game-away failure to clinch. add this to the fact that we had that ridiculous SCF schedule because NBC wanted to air some games, but only if they were on the weekend and Buttman obliged. didn't Z have some ailments too? i thought i was over the loss, now i'm bitter again...

egroen 384 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 Mickey Redmond claims Zetterberg had his wrist guarded and was at 70%. Have not seen anything outside of Redmond on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew we were cursed but this is definitely too many games missed, especially, compared to Pens. I'm really proud of my team getting that far with such little luck.

GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted August 11, 2009 I hate excuses, so I'm not going to make them for the Wings like people here were doing in 2007. The Wings played hard in the 3rd period of games 6 and 7. If they came out playing hard in those games and laid it all on the line, they would have won despite the injuries, like they did in the other games of the series. Fact is, the Pens just wanted it more than the Wings when it was all said and done with. If we got swept in this series it'd be a different story, but the way the series went, it was one the Wings should have won despite injury troubles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have to agree. . . as pissed as I still am, I was even more pissed when I saw how flat the Wings came out in Games 6 and 7. A lot of bounces went against the Wings but the Wings controlled their own destiny after drubbing the Pens in Game 5 and they didn't complete the task. I hate that we lost, but I hate it even more because Cindy and Vaginy were the Champs (chumps!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
