12/22 GDT: Canucks 4 at Red Wings 5 (OT)

[Jedi 1,865]

Oh Flip, so close to a second...

[Joey v3.4 45]

If that's true it's 4-8weeks

Yep. Minimum.

And if it's an understatement, could be longer. The wrist is not just one bone, that can be reset into position to heal. The Wrist contains hundreds of little particles of injury just waiting to happen. 15 small bones, not including the radial and ulnar bones, and the bones in the hands, fingers, etc. Ligaments connecting all of those, and muscles making them all work. A typical wrist injury is not like say...breaking your Tibia falling off a roof, where one bone and some tissue is damaged. Wrist injuries often include multiple bones, and multiple s*** attached to those bones. Rarely every is a wrist injury a "Clean" injury. Usually it's a huge mess, where some bones fragment, half a dozen ligaments are torn, some tissue dies, etc.

Wrist injuries are VERY VERY prone to being chronic problems.

I say this because 1) I was a medic in the army. 2) I have broken my wrists 7 times, 5 on the left wrist, 2 on the right. After the final break, it took nearly 4 years to recover to a point I consider "completely". Most of the breaks happened skating.

A wrist injury is no joke. I would almost rather he broke his liver.

Sounded like lou got his stick on it

[egroen 384]

Of course this site is down when Hudler delivers the biggest hit of the year... Perhaps ever.

[Konnan511 1,736]

Datsyuk out for the game.

[nate94gt 134]

Datsyuk out for the game.

That's bad

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

Datsyuk is getting tested right now for an injury and wont return they just said on TSN

[Guest DetroitBoy313]

No Datsyuk! f***KKKKKKKK!!!!!

[Octopus's Garden 147]

That's bad

Maybe ... could just be a sprain and they're taking care ... sprain might be a week or two, but obviously much better scenario than a break or fracture.

Everyone say their prayers.

[HankthaTank 1,100]

It looked pretty bad.

[Jedi 1,865]

PK. Closing hand on the puck of all things.

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

The Wings have had serious issues with clearing the puck lately.

[GMRwings1983 8,793]

Looks like our PK didn't come to play tonight.

Just like the last Vancouver game.

[brett 1,029]

PK is gonna cost us this game

[Jedi 1,865]

And it's tied again.

[edicius 3,269]

Yay penalty kill. It's like a gimme goal for the Nucks.

[Guest mindfly]

Wings wont kill a powerplay tonight thats for sure

[Octopus's Garden 147]

Not one, but two guys standing untouched in front of the net. Nice.

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

2 goals resulted because the D won't clear the front of the net... wtf are they doing seriously ?

[Konnan511 1,736]

Wings refuse to clear the front of the net, Kesler to Sedin combo again.

[pvilleguru 65]

i'm tired of the BS penalties we keep getting.

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

the canucks get away with so much s***. some elbows from hansen and alot of cheap shots from rome. f*** i hate vancouver!

I'm trying to be optimistic

[syntax 359]

Nucks PP is impressive.....come to think of it, their whole team is.

We're in a massive hurtlocker without Pavel. Everyone use your Christmas Wish to make him get better fast.
