dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 Not too surprising he'll experience stuff like this while trying to return, as long as it's not his back acting up it's not the end of the world. 3 Greatness=PavelDatsyuk, 55fan and paulb1320 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greatness=PavelDatsyuk 65 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 Not too surprising he'll experience stuff like this while trying to return, as long as it's not his back acting up it's not the end of the world. Yup, he's been off for over a year now, so something like this was bound to happen. And in a way it might help Kenny out a bit too, he has a bit longer to make a deal now.

St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422 Report post Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Devastating, he's my favorite player behind Datsyuk. He has been my favorite Wing right behind Dats as well...

Euro_Twins 4,475 Report post Posted October 23, 2013 per khan ultrasound showed fluid but no tear. Will not play saturday, but will likely travel with team on west Canada trip Potentially good news.

Learn2LuvIt 245 Report post Posted October 28, 2013 Potentially good news. Would be so much better if his first game is in detroit the whole crowd will go mental. Go mental?? I don't think many of the average fans would remember who he is?? I'd have to explain to everyone sitting around me that this is the guy that has played 69 games for us since 2011-2012 and scored one playoff goal for us. We here on LGW definitely know who he is, average "John Q Fan" probably does remember his name and him playing, but that's about it. Let's not over-blow his good, but short, injury riddled, "legacy".

True story. I've mentioned him returning to a few people I'd consider "average fans" and most forgot we still had him....

Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted October 29, 2013 My younger brother has an extremely casual interest in the Wings. His favorite player is Helm. Actually, his favorite player is probably Datsyuk. But he once told me it's Helm, which I thought was awesome. He nailed it: "Soooo fast! And he hits everyone!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This isn't Helm related but your post reminded me of a similar instance with my father who's also very, very casual. To this day I think the only sports players he knows by name are Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson, Barry Bonds, Miguel Cabrera and... Drew Miller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
