That blows. Time for Pulkkinen to make his mark.

Its time for him to shine but we need the experience of Helm

 

[Claypool]

Hopefully it's no longer than six weeks.

This trip was expensive, injury-wise.

 

[MBauer]

That sucks seriously, he was just starting to look like he had his old speed back, the penalty kill is really going to miss him.

 

[Frk It]

This trip was expensive

Why yes it was.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

I think we should healthy scratch Helm in that building from here on out.

 

[YostisHome]

That sucks, Helmer's energy really lifted us thus far.... hope we get him back before playoffs. Getting Cole helps ease the blow though.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Hoping for the best. A couple of weeks, not a couple of months, please. We need Helm.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Had a feeling that Helm couldn't stay healthy all season long.

 

[mindfly]

These injuries are killing the depth of the red wings :/

That sucks, Helmer's energy really lifted us thus far.... hope we get him back before playoffs. Getting Cole helps ease the blow though.

Cole is almost a cross between Helm and Franzen (skates well with good size and plays well around the net and can play the body)...makes sense that he's replacing them in the lineup. I think we'll see Helm back before we see Mule though.

 

[DanZ]

Really hope he doesn't miss playoff games

 

[SoupNazi]

Oblique strain, according to Khan.

Holland said Helm and Marchenko both have bit of oblique strain. Nothing serious. Out a week or so.

Good news!

 

[The Geelee]

Very, very good news

 

[ap3x]

Marchenko, did I miss something?

 

[Claypool]

Good news on the injury front. With Cole and Zidlicky coming there's no need to rush them back, either.

 

[needzmoarcleary]

Marchenko, did I miss something?

wasn't he a game time decision last game? Could have swore I heard that in the broadcast before the game.

Think that was Smith actually, but I could be wrong.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Oblique strain, according to Khan.

Wow, we have no rush to get him back but should be back within two weeks. Holland sounds optimistic about Franzen as well in some of the latest talk. This team could be absolutely loaded up front. Zidlicky helps augment the back-end.

Yes, it was him.

Dats, Z, Mule, Nyquist, Tatar, Helm, Abby, Cole and Sheahan is a pretty dang good Top 9 if I do say so myself.

Now if only they play like they are supposed to! Especially Nyquist and Franzen. I'm still not sold on Abby either.
