hooon 1,089 Report post Posted November 13, 2012 I don't like this news at all. The Wings can't even stay healthy when there's no season. 1 Frozen-Man reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BottleOfSmoke 5,965 Report post Posted November 13, 2012 I saw the article Khan tweeted, BIG bummer for us and Flip if it ends up being serious. Playing elsewhere during a lockout: damned if you do, damned if you don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrie 900 Report post Posted November 14, 2012 If Helm and Filp are injured, I'm in no rush for the new CBA. Fehr, Bettman, take as much time as you want. 2 Euro_Twins and Z Winged Dangler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted November 14, 2012 6-8 weeks, per KHAAAAAAAN!!! Bad news for Detroit Red Wings forward Valtteri Filppula, whose sprained right medial collateral ligament will keep him out for six-to-eight weeks. Are the Wings insured for injury? To answer your question... Players who opt to play in Europe during the lockout do so at their own risk. Most have their NHL contracts insured in case of injury. I'm pinning this thread, since it is Red Wings injury related. And, if there is a season any time soon, Flip will likely start it on Injured Reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,789 Report post Posted November 15, 2012 I guess this is a big deal if there's a season, since it'll be a shortened season, and we're bound to have other injuries, since Holland didn't do s*** in the offseason and we're already old. But if there's no season, it's not a big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
