ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 He is scheduled to be back in the lineup OCT 26 vs NYR That's a little bit of an overstatement. That is simply the first game he would be eligible for if he returns from LTIR on time. No confirmation at all at this point that he will be back for that game.

Wings4Life19 150 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 That's a little bit of an overstatement. That is simply the first game he would be eligible for if he returns from LTIR on time. No confirmation at all at this point that he will be back for that game. If all goes according to plan, general manager Ken Holland said Helm will make his season debut for the Red Wings on Oct. 26 against the New York Rangers at Joe Louis Arena. http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/10/red_wings_planning_on_having_d.html 1 Greatness=PavelDatsyuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/10/red_wings_planning_on_having_d.html Key phrase there is "if all goes according to plan". I think we've seen plenty of examples of how those "if's" have worked out for him over the past 18 months. I'll stick with Helm's own assessment of the situation myself which is, and I quote, “Until my name’s on a lineup sheet I’m not going to get that excited about it.’’ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 Just don't break anything in warm-ups in GR. I will believe he's 100% when I see it, which I do hope happens. 1 ogreslayer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike J. 132 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 Well I'm keeping my fingers crossed, this is the closest to having him back that we've had in a really long time. Hopefully he can get back into shape pretty quick. If he does then that adds a hell of a boost to the bottom line depth and the PK 1 haroldsnepsts reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evilzyme 769 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 Would appreciate some crowd reporting on Helm is anyone is going to this Friday's home opener in GR. Please, do not! I'm being selfish and i'm upset even more now. Me and the lady normally do the home-openers in GR but this year... after we bought the tickets... it had dawned on us that she had a show that night and we couldn't make it. Now not only am I not going to see that beautiful banner being raised... IM GOING TO MISS HELMERS FIRST GAME WITH THEM. The stuff you do for significant others!

If the Wings win the Cup, they'd better add your name to it. You just stacked up enough positive kharma by being good to your woman that not only will Helm be back, but he'll stay back. 1 evilzyme reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Superman54 91 Report post Posted October 21, 2013 I really don't mind Eaves but Tootoo shouldn't be the odd man out. We have fillers in Sammy, Eaves, Tatar etc. all who play a certain style that's similar. I don't see how Tootoo should be the odd man out when he brings a different dimension that really, no redwing carries. It's a slow process for sure, but this breeds becoming "extinct". Are we expecting this many injuries that we will need the offence from all of Sam, Eaves, Tats, Nyquist, Glending that Tootoo's presence will not be needed? 43 is returning, life is good, and it's a good problem to have, but a problem Holland knew about even before he signed Cleary. Sammy to minors was never an option of his either, and its sad that players like Eaves, Tootoo, and even Tatar right now, are paying the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
