Is that more a short term type thing, or could be anything?

It didn't look that bad, that's all I can say. No idea how many games.

Bruise soft tissue, it's a week at most but if you bruise a bone it hurts for a lot longer. I know that from personal experience.

Mick and Ken said he didn't make the trip so he'll at least be out a couple games, but they didn't seem to have a lot of info.

Sounds same what Seider had. What was he out, 10 days?

 

[Go Wings]

What an idiotic post.

Blashill is THE reason why things are looking better.

LMFAOOOO keep drinking the kool aid buddy
Your post is the dumbest post of the century.
The team just scored their 1st powerplay goal in 41 attempts and won back to back games for the first time this entire f***ing season and you giving Blashill credit for this?
Bernier standing on his f***ing head is the reason the team is looking better. Fabbri and Ryan playing well is why the team is looking better. Svech coming in scoring a goal and setting up another after sitting on the f***ing taxi squad and not playing is the reason the team is looking better.

But Blashill the same guy in this game that put Nielsen out on a 6 on 5, the guy who had Brome stapled the top line and powerplay, the guy who took forever to sit a lazy effort Mantha, the guy who sent Smith and Hirose down when they playing well.

And all the other f***ing stupid things he has done this season, last season and every f***ing season he has been here is the reason the team is playing better?

My friend you need to stop watching hockey immediately because you do not understand the sport.

So, criticism when things go bad but no praise when things go well?

 

[Nut Upstrom]

The Djoos is loose!

Sorry, just getting around to watching the game now.

Yzerman did sign Brome. Blashill tried to make him work. Now that guy is benched. Coach did what coach was supposed to do. Make it work. It didn't, now he executes another plan. That's how the process will go. Nothing to see in here.

Whining about everything isn't any solution.

Players doing all the good things and coach doing all the bad things is so moronic view of hockey that I can't nothing but laugh for you.

5 goals in back to back games.
2 wins vs our old foes.
PP goal after 40 attempts.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Svechnikov, Smith and Rasmussen aren't amazing or anything but I feel like all 3 have tools that can make us a better team that's harder to play against. Hope Svech is here to stay and the other two brought up soon.

 

[Mount Suribachi]

Detroit are going to have to be careful here, keep picking up wins like this and we might only end up picking 4th!

 

[Hen Kolland]

I'm pretty sure he would have to go through waivers since it's been 30 days. Good chance he'd get claimed.

I don’t think this is how the taxi squad works when you’ve been sitting on it every day prior. I think players are free to be activated on game day and returned to the taxi squad. Not 100% on this though

 

[lilidk]

So, Ryan overtook Larkin as team points leader, both with 22 games. Not something I expected.

When everyone is healthy I like to see
Fabbri-Larkin-Rayan
Bert -Namestnikov-Mantha
Erny-Gleny-Helm
And sit Mantha for a game or 2

You have Mantha on L2 though ? (not sitting as you also suggest)

So, criticism when things go bad but no praise when things go well?

You think they practised Djoos' move on the powerplay, you think Blashill deserves credit for putting Svech in at game 23 of the season, you think Blashill deserves credit for Bernier playing literally the best of his career?

No he doesn't deserve any credit for those things. The players elevated their play because the best player was out of the lineup. The leafs did it last night too by shutting out Edmonton.

 

[raymond23]

Fabbri deserves a lot of props. I had my doubts about him at center but he's actually played really well, plus he works his ass off

He is going to be a nice piece to have moving forward when more talent arrives

Exactly. I've been optimistic about him since Day 1, even wanted Blash to try him @ C when he first arrived, glad he got the opportunity & is seizing it. Offensive production, mobile, good attitude, decent defensively + now FO's improving too. Reminds me of a younger Trocheck, but not as physical. Glad Trocheck bounced back.

I'm hoping to see: Bert-Fabbri-Zadina for a 10gm+ tryout as L2.

*(Mantha)-Larkin-Ryan as L1, while Mantha regains near max trade value, then Fed-Ex him outta here. Next yr we can run Raymond-Larkin- Ryan?/UFA

 

[lilidk]

Sit him first and then slide him to second line

Players get all the credit when they excel. Coaches get all the blame when they don't. Got it.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

They showed a replay during the game, it looked like he took a crosscheck to the left (IIRC) elbow or forearm. Probably a deep bruise.

A crosscheck? From Nashville? Nooo...

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Wings with 10 goals in the last 2 games. Larkin was out and Mantha didn't contribute at all.

Maybe this is a sign that we trade both Larkin AND Mantha? It might make us instant contenders.

I'm not sure either, I haven't seen a copy of the actual taxi rule on the web yet. With the CBA, I can actually look stuff up, but everything with the taxi squad rule is second hand from the media. I find it annoying TBH.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Who else here is a little disappointed they didn't get to see MBH gloating about Svechnikov?

I was expecting something like this.

 

[LeftWingLocked]

I wouldn’t mind if Larkin was out 10 games just to see the team play without him. I always felt he was overhyped because he was a local player. Besides apologizing after every game for losses, he hasn’t really done much and peaked out a few years ago. Time will tell

Or those 2 needs different coach, time for change

 

[newfy]

They said last night he was expected to miss last night and tonights game.
