A bit of interesting news coming from San Jose. It turns out Ryane Clowe did suffer a separated shoulder (and not a concussion, as speculated) from that hit by Kronwall. Also surprising to hear that Kesler was talking shi* to him during the WCF. NOT!

"Ryane Clowe — Shoulder separation, similar to Joe Thornton's. Going to meet with medical staff today to find out if surgery required, likely three to four months of rehab needed. Clowe said only that it occurred in the Detroit series — even when asked directly if it resulted from that major hit by Nicklas Kronwall. Players said Clowe was so badly hurt he needed "help getting his jersey on. "The toughest part was starting the game, but once the adrenaline got going, you start to think about other things," Clowe said. And he thought that the secrecy worked, because Ryan Kesler kept asking him how his concussion was doing.

Kesler sounds like a complete ****** bag. For someone who is considered a star player, he certainly doesn't act like it. His antics remind me more of Matt Cooke or Sean Avery. I just can't imagine any of the Wings stars chirping someone about an injury, let alone flopping all over the ice. Anyway, I just hate Kesler, but I guess the real lesson here is that Clowe should've kept his mouth shut...

[LiddyFan]

Kronwalled!! I knew that hit destroyed him, as much as they all tried to deny it. Nobody walks away unscathed from a hit like that...

[WingZNut13]

This made my day. I hate the sharks and now that they are out, we find out that Clowe got on the wrong end of a Kronwall hit. K.R.O.N.W.A.L.L.E.D!!!!!!

I can't wait for next season to see more of these.

Watching Kesler during the SCPs has really lowered my opinion of him. Think: DIVER! However, I'll sheepishly admit that come 2014, I'll be rooting for him at the Sochi Olympic Games. That is assuming he hasn't split a groin after diving and that he makes the U.S. Team.

Proof once again that you need to be careful what you wish for. Didn't learn, did ya, idiot?

Clowe is far from a diver lol.

He is a player I would trade any forward on the wings for besides Datsyuk or Zetterberg and he would beat anyone on Detriot up in a fight.

Franzen+Kindl for Clowe sounds great to me

I hope that those of you condemning Kesler for his trash talk never sit close enough to the ice to hear how players talk to each other.

Ryan Kesler's the man.

I really don't get the hate for Kesler for talking trash on the ice. Have none of you played sports before?

It's not just his trash talking, it's all of his antics. I get that players trash talk, but the classy ones don't.

[jeff48109]

i bet all the americans on here were cheering hard when Kesler was a beast during the Olympics.

Dude, go back and watch some old Yzerman clips. He had a mouth for miles -- there is a reason he never won the Byng, and I doubt he defies your definition of "classy."

Kind of reminds me of Kirk Maltby - cept he was a 3rd-4th line chirper. Malts was a little less sinister and alot more funny. Ie. to Malkin "your mom's borscht sucks!"

How could the classiest player ever idolize someone so devoid of class?!

For real?? Haah

[MGreenberg]

Yeah, simple rule. Don't open your mouth without thinking. Clowe didn't think and got smashed. Love it.

From what I've heard he's an arrogant ass in real life too.

Yeah but unlike Yzerman, Kessler's mouth is filled with penises! (OH SNAP)

Don't forget to throw Hudler in there for his Huge Potential...

[Red Wings Addict]

I heard the same as well. He doesn't seemed to be a well-liked player in the locker room.
