12/17 GDT: Lightning 0 at Red Wings 3

[The Mule 0]

Dear Zetterberg,

Please, for the love of God, don't be hurt.

Love,

The Mule

Another successful PK for the Wings.

Commence Panic ...

From Bob McKenzie's Twitter feed:

"Initial prognosis on Zetterberg (on clean hit from Ohlund) is not great. Further testing and evaluation to come but he may be out awhile."

Wonderful.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Mattias Ritola? We need a centre though. Emmerton? Jeremy Williams is a winger.

Good PK start, gotta watch Stamkos.

Stamkos is an absolute gun, already taken 4 shots.

[AtomicPunk 296]

I wonder if anyone has called Filpulla yet and asked him if he can go Saturday.

Emmerton would be pretty sick to see in the Wings uni, truth be told I thought it'd be a year or two until we saw it.

And yeah, Stamkos is crazy, I see the highlights but watching a game of him makes you really appreciate his talent.

Man when the f*** do we get back our players. If Z is out for 2 months. Boy o boyy.

Wow.....

This one is really gonna hurt. Like REALLY hurt.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

When Franzen comes back, this line will be sick. I love Homer, but he cant skate, Franzen's speed and size will make this line a frickin force.

Isn't Emmerton on IR?

Nevermind.

13 points isn't really all that good.

C'mon Wings, grab a goal or ten here, need to get some space in this game.

Wings ice the puck.

If Zetterberg is injured for any length of time, these games against Chicago aren't gonna be fun to watch.

[ManLuv4Clears 7]

assuming Zetterberg is injured for awhile, these games against Chicago aren't gonna be fun to watch.

Unless we can convince May, Newbury, and Janik to goon it up and take out Kopy.

Isn't Emmerton on IR?

Nevermind.

He's more defense orientated, for whatever reason. Brilliant defensively.

He had a huge hot streak about a month ago, looked absolutely dominant. Driving hard to the net, making crisp passes, great on the PK. He's really cooled down though and you often don't really notice him at all. One thing working in his favour is that he is very good defensively and could be trusted.

With Helm likely back next game though I think we could look like this:

Holmstrom - Datsyuk - Bertuzzi

Abdelkader - Helm - Eaves

Miller - Draper - Leino

May - Newbury - Maltby

Assuming Hank is out, don't want to get too far ahead of myself.

[Guest Shoreline]

to hell with Sweden. if he's injured the Wings are F-ed.

Agreed. Wings > Sweden (or any olympic country for that matter). And hope Z is ok. It's been a really s***ty year for injuries.

[InKennyWeTrust 126]

Aside from that luck on the missed wrap around, you've gotta give some love to Jimmy tonight. Something to keep my mind of Z, I guess...

[commadore183 103]

Another Wings PK. The Todd off for high sticking.

[commadore183 103]

Wings back to full strength.

[commadore183 103]

44 seconds left in the 2nd period.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Atta boy Abby, f*** you Ohlund!

[AtomicPunk 296]

Abs just took a run at Ohlund as the period expired....don't think they aren't looking to line him up for the Z hit.

[commadore183 103]

0-1 Wings over the Lightning after the 2nd Period. It seemed like, to me, that the Wings spent more time in their own zone than in the Lightning's. I could be wrong, though. Let's hope that the Wings can weather the Lightning storm ( ) early in the 4rd period and net a few goals themselves.

I'd rather just have Stuart run Stamkos, that would be golden

[kylee 727]

anyone have word with what exactly is wrong with zetterberg?
