Probably got hurt stopping that Russian meteor... Datsyuk is strong, but he's not Superman.

Get well soon, Pavs. We need you!

Last couple of games he was the target.... too bad

Wonder if its anything to do with that hit he took from Doughty.

S & C issue? No. This is a product of who we are as a team. We are an older team, a smaller team, and we do have a fair share of injury prone guys. This shouldn't be a surprise. The history is there.

Both Dat and Z have been playing less games for the past few years. never anything serious, just more smaller nagging things that reduces their playing time. has Colaviaco every played a full season? bert has been battling back issues for years. Gus openly admits that he starts every year with groin issues. Franzen picks up naggin injuries every year.

Point is, this shouldn't be a surprise. Do I like it? hell no. But it is what it is. All we can do is try to play through it, and GO GRIFFINS!

You have a point, but the problem isn't so much guys getting hurt as it is everyone getting hurt at the same time. We could easily handle Pav or Franzen or Helm or Smith or Bert being out but not all of them at the same time.

Is there any update on his condition?

But we had this last year as well. One of the best teams after 60 games, then the injuries mounted and we barely made it to the PO's, and lost in the first round.

One of my biggest fears is Holland and company make the excuse that it is only injuries, and not start making the moves we need. We have to get bigger, faster, stronger, tougher, and add more skill.

Sore shoulder according to NHL.com.  Like a poster above, I wonder if its related to the Doughty hit.

[Buppy]

Anybody think it might be time to do a review of the strength and conditioning staff? These injuries are constantly mounting and other teams seem to have nowhere near the amount of man games lost (since 09-10 truly) 

 

Not true, in fact. Middle of the pack over last three years actually. Near the top 09-10, around the middle in 10-11, and near the bottom last year.

Nah, sore shoulders from carrying the team..

This is my hunch. Hoping it's something minor and we'll see him back next game.

Datsyuk said he is 50-50 for tomorrow's game.

 

Samuelsson will be back, too!
Mrazek will get the start!

To be honest with you, I think it has almost everything to do with that and the fact that St. Louis's Backes seems to have it out for our guys as well.  The combination of the two I think just took its toll.
