HelmFan 84 Report post Posted March 2, 2013 If it happened Jan 10, then we should be just entering week 8 right now. Maybe he'll start skating soon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kylee 727 Report post Posted March 3, 2013 I feel like his comeback is going to be so touch and go and very day-to-day. Hope he gets back asap, but not rushing himself to further aggrevate this injury... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Axe Report post Posted March 3, 2013 Id rather have him take this year off if he isnt 100%. Hes too young to risk permanent injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted March 3, 2013 Oh imagine Helm with Tatar out there! I think this would be an excellent 2/3 of a third line. Tatar is just as tenacious as Helm is. He can be the scoring tough that Helm has lacked, and Helm can be the freight train that Tatar isn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hooon 1,089 Report post Posted March 3, 2013 Will be so, so glad to have Helm back in the lineup, but really hope they don't rush him or even come close to rushing him. Give him an extra week or so even after he is healed just to be sure. We will need him badly for the rest of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted March 3, 2013 Is he eligible for a Grand Rapids conditioning stint? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Axe Report post Posted March 3, 2013 I think this would be an excellent 2/3 of a third line. Tatar is just as tenacious as Helm is. He can be the scoring tough that Helm has lacked, and Helm can be the freight train that Tatar isn't. Perhaps bump Tootoo up with them and send Cleary down with Emmerton and Miller?

Guest Playmaker Report post Posted March 3, 2013 Personally, I'm just going with the assumption he will be out all season. I don't take it as a good sign when we're practically desperate to have a 3rd liner back in the lineup. He has good energy and all, but he'd be much more valuable if he could cash in on the scoring chances he has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Datsyukian Deke 127 Report post Posted March 3, 2013 Hmmm, I really hope we get Helm back, especially our PK could use the guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted March 5, 2013 Last I saw, Helm expects to start skating again this week. Maybe when he does get back, Cleary & Abby will already be back on the 3rd line to greet him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is still 7 weeks left in the season and all of the doctors have indicated that it is not a serious injury and he should start skating next week. There are too many Negative Nancies on this forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
