That's one of those "doesn't look really bad" injuries that takes months to heal form.

I hope not, though.

If he is out a week Mantha would miss Carolina, Toronto, Philadelphia, Washington through November 30th. After December 2nd Wings have four days off. I wouldn't be surprised if we see him by December 7th.

The Wings have close to 100 man games lost to injury already. Dekeyser is still out indefintely, Green, Erne, Abdelkader. Mantha we cannot afford to lose him long term. Anthony has been great for us and one of a very few on this team that has had a great year so far.

Abby and Erne don't matter, but missing 2 of the top 4 D and now the leading scorer, that is going to make this team unwatchable. I'm watching the Caps because I'm a fan, but I think I'm probably gonna take a break from this s*** show until Mantha gets back.

Figure Puempel or Terry get called up? Or do you think Zadina gets a little taste?

Why? Yeah let's bring up career AHLers. I hope it's Svech or Zadina.

I get that the board won't like it but Terry was leading the AHL in scoring not long ago and paces the Griffins in points. Puempel is leading them in goals. Both guys have played well and Yzerman has talked about keeping the kids I think outside of Svech away from this. While I hope it is Svech, I am also okay with them bringing up an older vet because this season really isn't about instant gratification. Zadina is on his first real AHL heater let him get his confidence going for a couple months and bring him up in the new year. Keep in mind I am not totally sure but I believe Seider, Veleno and Zadina all have the ability to slide their ELC still.

Yzerman on Tuesday:

“The message to them all at the start of the season was, ‘Go get a place in Grand Rapids. Get focused on playing, and don’t worry about being called up. And having said that, doesn’t mean you won’t be called up,’ ” Yzerman said. “There’s nothing set in stone. …
“It’s where we feel at the end of training camp or at this stage of the season where they’re all best suited to play. We want all of those young kids playing in a league where they’re improving, where they’re playing, where they’re having some success but it’s hard for them. So, you kind of decide: Is that in junior? Is that in Europe? Is that in the American Hockey League? Or in the NHL, for that matter? So, I don’t want to say it’s by design. We’re just trying to figure out, where’s the best place for each of these players to play now and develop and get better.”

Well it's Zadina. Nice!! I hope he plays with Bert and Larkin but they'll probably bump AA up there and he'll be on the 2nd line.

Dang it. Going to the game tonight... Hopefully it's not a as bad as last time we played Carolina... not looking good without Mantha though. Hopefully Zadina can score and Wings pull off a win. Bringing the GF and her mom so... HOPEFULLY, it's not a complete waste and at least entertaining.

Still kind of can't believe they wont bring up Svechnikov to play against his little brother. Like... Pretty much a perfect opportunity for him right now. Leaning towards he doesn't have a future with the Red Wings at least. Cool to see Zadina get a shot though. Hopefully he can stick around and score like 20 goals/40-50 points( A guy can dream. )

Glad to see Zadina get called up. If Mantha is only out for four games, I figured they might reward Puempel or Terry for their contributions. Also, Zadina just got back from an injury not that long ago, but seems to have not missed a beat. So it seemed like it could be a 50/50 thing of who they brought up.

Really hope Zadina makes the most of his time.

Zadina is the hottest one in GR lately, so it makes sense to bring him up to Detroit. Svech is playing terrible in GR so far. Spends more time in the penalty box then on the ice. Puempel is still out with concussion for the past 3 games and hoping he will be back on the ice on Wednesday. Since Puempel's injury, Terry has cooled off in the past 3 games.

Good to know. Thanks for the information! :)

I wouldn't mind seeing some of the career AHLers, give them a little bonus money (NHL pay) for a couple of games for their hard work. Ehn has 3 more games, then he winds up being waivers eligible. Send EHn down, bring up the AHLers as extras. They might wind up sitting in the pressbox, but I'm sure they'll enjoy the extra pay.

They called up Zadina, I think he gets 9 games and if he doesn't light it up in those games then Svech will probably get called up.

Mantha's issue is almost certainly his knee. I think he'll be out a month, minimum.
