Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted April 7, 2011 Dead nuts right. The wings will come into the playoffs a 3 seed pretty much no matter what. i dont think theyll take both vs. chicago, and SJ has a good shot of beating PHX twice. (dont tell me this is the wrong thread, i know) So because of that and Z's injury not looking that bad, lets go ahead and sit him anyway. Might as well put Lids down as well. I agree, I wanted them to rest against Carolina, and play against the Hawks. Can't rest for three games straight, but one would have made a difference without giving up on making the team better.

Hatchet Barry 71 Report post Posted April 7, 2011 With all the injuries the Wings have suffered over the past few seasons, it would be nice to catch a break (no pun intended) going into the playoffs. Wishing Hank all the best. GO WINGS!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) MRI for Z just as I feared, most likely a tear in an MCL or such. Edited April 7, 2011 by Majsheppard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8 Legged RedWing 367 Report post Posted April 7, 2011 This is why I don't think it's a serious injury: -He was able to skate off on his power -He took 1 shift after the hit (Others say he didn't, but he clearly did, and then after that shift there was a stoppage as he went to the dressing room) -He was able to get up after he got hurt without assistance Those are just some of the things that I noticed when that all occurred. Other Injuries and there circumstances: Kopitar was not able to get up under his own power and had to be assisted off the ice. [broken Ankle] Callahan didn't play another shift after he blocked the shot[broken Leg] Just some examples as to why I don't believe it's a long term injury That doesn't really mean a whole lot. Franzen scored a goal with a torn MCL last year. But the other things are good signs. 2 wingnut40 and Majsheppard reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MRI for Z just as I feared, most likely a tear in an MCL or such. Yeah, I doubted people saying ankle, his knee looked to take the bad twist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
