Tomas Holmstrom out 3-4 weeks

[Electrophile 3,554]

I'm officially calling it the "Mikael Samuelsson Curse"

You know, kind of like when Boston allowed Babe Ruth to get away.

That means we're not winning the Stanley Cup for 86 years.

Well damn.

The `Mikael Samuelson` curse is very apporiate. That guy has his way when he gets pissed. Look what happened after he was cut from the Swedish olympic team. The guy has been on a tear ever since telling them to go f*** themselves,

[Pavel Hossyukstrom 2]

no Bettman has voodoo dolls of out players this year.

With Homer hurt, Sammy would have been their next choice.

Not anymore, I guess.

Should have kept his mouth shut.

"He was out after practice like he always is, working on redirecting shots from the blue line," general manager Ken Holland said. "One of the shots (from Brett Lebda) hit him on the foot. It's obviously very disappointing to have a freak injury like that after practice when a guy is just putting in extra work."

....

You... Cannot... Be... Serious!!! Lebda?!?!?!! BAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

[EuroTwin 240]

Of course it was Lebda.

Why wouldn't it be?

Sometimes, I feel bad for him, but then he goes and does something incredibly dumb.

[Rivalred 630]

Lebda and Meech were terrible tonight... I swear the guy is like a hemorrhoid

Unbelievable

[InKennyWeTrust 126]

...Lebda did this?! What else can he do to be a detriment to the team, urinate in the water cooler?

[SweWings 45]

Is this even possible? Seriously, how can it be possible for a team to get this many injuries?

[pockets 9]

Which one?

[HOCKEY MATTERS 167]

All right. We need to pony up and get HR40 some tickets on the glass so she can flash those fabulous ta-tas and keep the team going. One touch from the godess of forum whores will make Homers boo-boo all better. Get it done, Rabs!

[Echolalia 2,961]

The cynic in me hopes that its Lebda

The cynic in me is pleased.

DAMMIT LEBDA

[kook_10 1,705]

i can't say it's a surprise. we already all know the guy is a curse.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Of course it was Lebda. Who else would it have been?

[puckloo39 5,686]

aw, man.... I've been out of it for a week, with a dead computer (virus). Didn't even know Homer was out.

Lebda. Talk about a whipping boy. Somewhere, Sammy is laughing his ass off.

[Inultus 12]

Tell me we're all lexdysic and Homer broke Lebda's foot.

[cjm502 165]

Is this even possible? Seriously, how can it be possible for a team to get this many injuries?

How can it be possible for Lebda to suck this much?

[cusimano_brothers 1,655]

Do you think a pair of these would have helped?

[55fan 5,133]

Do you think a pair of these would have helped?

Didn't someone say that Kronwall wore those? Or am I confused on this issue?

[Stiffy 0]

Why not try them? Especially when you earn your living in front of the net.

By the way, Free Press says he is now maybe out 2-3 weeks only.

INJURY UPDATES: Tomas Holmstrom, who suffered a non-displaced fracture in his foot after taking a Brett Lebda shot following Wednesday's practice, has been downgraded to possibly being out just two to three weeks.

[hokeychik22 17]

hopefully in a week another injured wing is back-

It appears the Red Wings defense will be bolstered maybe as soon as in a week, as big Jonathan Ericsson is getting closer to returning.

Ericsson hasn't played since suffering a bruised knee Dec. 14, but he's been skating and is improving.

"I feel better," he said Friday. "I feel a lot better on the ice, like, stronger - I can push more and my strides are getting better. So I just need to get my full range of motion back and then I'm good to go."

Ericsson estimated he'd be back in 7-10 days.

[b.shanafan14 733]

Didn't someone say that Kronwall wore those? Or am I confused on this issue?

I believe they had made some kind of boot cover for Kronwall and said Stuart was going to try them out at one point. Seems like a no-brainer to me as long as the material doesn't impede skating, which may be an issue.
