chances14 229 Report post Posted January 14, 2013 Groin injury 1/of many to come this season Forward Mikael Samuelsson isn't skating today during the second day of Detroit Red Wings training camp due to a sore groin. It is a precautionary move. He is day-to-day. http://www.mlive.com/redwings/team/1358184597-876-239/red-wings-mikael-samuelsson-groin.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilzyme 769 Report post Posted January 14, 2013 If anyone remembers Babcock's interview via mlive during the lockout the one fond quote we could always take away from that interview was something along the lines of, "because of the shortened season we're going to see many hockey players go down early. team's will be coming out of the gate with the full-speed ahead mentality and it'll lead to many injuries." sure enough, we'll start seeing the injuries pile on as majority of these guys bodies aren't used to the intense workout it'll be getting during practice/gametime.

Carman 387 Report post Posted January 14, 2013 That's what happens when you sign old men to contracts for a shortened season. We have to keep our fingers crossed all year with injuries. Because only old players pull groins. Someone better inform Kassian, Spurgeon, Scandella, Booth, and Huberdeau that they shouldn't be getting groin injuries because they aren't over 30.

St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422 Report post Posted January 14, 2013 It's going to happen to a lot to players this season no surprise really. Especially to guys that haven't been playing. Was Sammy playing for anyone during the lockout or was he just skating on his own? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Wings Addict 787 Report post Posted January 14, 2013 Lol, he's day to day not done for 4-6 weeks..relax Sure but to be fair: “Groin soreness and he’s being evaluated, so when I talk about groins normally that means day-to-day and then two weeks later we talk about it again,’’ coach Mike Babcock said. “And for a goalie, it usually means day-to-day and three weeks later we talk about it.’‘ So in practice they'll need someone to fill in and it's an opportunity for them and a chance for everyone else to see what they can do.

metalkorn 45 Report post Posted January 14, 2013 This sort of thing no doubt happens at the start of every training camp and never draws attention as they have time to get over it. The shortened training camp it's bound to happen, i doubt it is serious. Iginila has the same thing, it's a bigger loss to them then samuelsson would be to us though.

He's a good player that puts up comparable numbers to Okposo, Foliginio, Riemsydk, Derek Roy, Latendresse, Hornqvist, etc. I have to admit I've ripped on Sammy for his shot selection in the past, but given his production and his contract at the time, he was a bargain for the Wings. I can't say I wanted him back necessarily though on a 35+ contract with a NTC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
