Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted October 2, 2011 That is a horrible injury to Taylor Fedun. Could miss the entire season, and it's one of those injuries where the recovery is going to be painfully slow. It actually makes me think Jan got a bit lucky as it could've been worse. Also this: ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Blues winger B.J. Crombeen suffered a left shoulder scapula fracture Saturday during the team's final preseason game against Dallas and will be sidelined indefinitely,Crombeen was injured in a collision with Dallas' Mark Fistric with 5:59 remaining in the third period of a 4-0 loss to the Stars. "(Crombeen) went in for a hit and it looked like he lost his balance and went into the boards," Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong said. "It's too bad it happened in the last six minutes of the last preseason games, but it gives us an opportunity to test our depth early." Broken shoulder blade, can anyone say OUCH. So many bad injuries already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marlowe 748 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 Detnews The Wings began preparations for Friday's regular-season opener against Ottawa with Henrik Zetterberg (upper body) and Pavel Datsyuk (sore back) both back on the ice Tuesday after missing last weekend's exhibition games."It's amazing how you get rid of exhibition games, everyone gets healthy," coach Mike Babcock said. "It's like the fountain of youth." Danny Cleary (upper body) also expects to play Friday after missing the final three exhibition games. Mike Commodore (knee) is expected to be the only regular missing Friday, although Commodore said he was feeling better. The Wings did have two notable players out of Tuesday's practice.
