Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 Hope this means Weiss is back in. It's looking like Pavel could be back against the Sharks tomorrow. That said, I'd still rather see Weiss in the line-up over Andersson. Babcock must really hate the man. George Sipple @GeorgeSipple 2m2 minutes ago Ken Holland also said F Pavel Datsyuk (lower body injury) is close to returning. May play tomorrow vs. Sharks. 1 Detroit \# 1 Fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wingsfan4life19 26 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 Did anyone catch what happened to Cole? Curious whether it was a head injury or any kind of specifics on how he possibly got hurt. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,788 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 We need these guys back ASAP, or else this team could be golfing in a few weeks. Our lead over the 9 seed has gone down quickly in a few weeks, and can continue unless we stop the bleeding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 All I got out of this thread was Datsyuk might be back tomorrow. It sucks having Kronwall and Cole out, but having Datsyuk in the lineup has more of an impact than any other player on the roster by far, and the Datsyuk impact is something this team desperately needs right now.

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 Why not play Cleary? He might really really want to win and play well. 3 canadian wings fan, Hockeymom1960 and kipwinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,440 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 Dan Cleary will come in and be our best player in the playoffs. He'll do it on heart alone. Because that's what he does. And while we won't win the Cup, the long playoff run will be exactly what Mike Babcock needs to become the highest paid coach in the NHL. He'll enter next season at the top of the mountain, ready to bring his revolutionary new message to the team. The message? Try harder. Try like Dan. 3 mvanpop, Datsyukian-Deke and MrazekFanBoy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 Lets be honest, if Pav isn't ready to go, would anyone REALLY be surprised if Mike put in Cleary to replace Cole because he wants another "real gud" big body? I wouldn't. With that said, Pav and Weiss please. (suck it Andersson) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 I haven't gotten to watch a lot of games the second half of the season, but I just can't imagine what Weiss did so badly to justify being permanently benched. Not every player can be 100% defensively sound at all times. We're close to becoming (if we haven't already become) the Minnesota Wild of the '00s, defense-first, score only when the other goalie screws up. Babcock really irritates me in this regard. Weiss had the reputation of a hard-working, reliable guy. Whatever his problems were, Babcock has hardly used him in the top six role that he's actually capable of playing. At the very list put him on an offensive third line. There is no reason Weiss should be sitting while Andersson plays. Datsyuk coming back will be huge, and missing Kronwall and Cole is going to hurt. I'd say call up Marchenko instead of using Kindl. 3 Internet.Unknown, Detroit \# 1 Fan and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand if the only spot open was on the fourth line and it was between Weiss and Anderson but it's not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
