And that's why you bring guys like Knuble on board. Keep the camp going without anything disrupting it, and he can fill in when people drop like flies.

 

[Bob Probert Owns You]

Ohhh, Sammy.

 

[Geki]

I'll take "Things that you absolutely just can't believe" for $1000, Alex...

 

[Stuck in Socal]

Oh Sammy. And so it begins.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Not surprised one bit.

Hopefully the Wings call up Nyquist* and he takes over Sammy's spot permanently.


*Just kidding, Holland is going to sign Knuble and he will be the 1st call up.

The sky is falling

 

[Shoalzie]

This year will be a battle of attrition...they'll need all their forwards they have and then some.

 

[Ricelund]

There's always groin injuries during camp...

 

[Henkka]

I bet Sammy shot wide and because of that, he tweaked his groin.

 

[Probert]

I bet Sammy shot wide and because of that, he tweaked his groin.

I'll bet his shot went on net, which utterly surprised him, and because of that, he tweaked his groin. :grin:

Depth is indeed going to be crucial this short season.

 

[Jussha]

can this be a season ending groin injury

 

[RedMenace]

I'll bet his shot went on net, which utterly surprised him, and because of that, he tweaked his groin. :grin:

That seems most likely... probably shocked he didn't hit Cleary in the face, fainted, and tweaked the groin going down.

 

[TatarTangle]

At least he shoots right handed?

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

At least it isn't a big gun, imagine how Calgary fans feel with Iginla doing this same thing.

There are going to be a lot of injuries this year, the big thing for us is that they don't happen to Z, Datsyuk, Kronwall, and Howard.

 

[Konnan511]

This isn't the last pulled growing or leg muscle of the offseason. We are going to to see a lot of them.

Not much any more than any other year.

can this be a season ending groin injury

Seconded.

At least he shoots right handed?

If Sammy were a left shot, would anyone bother?

 

[Heaton]

If Sammy were a left shot, would anyone bother?

Dan Cleary anyone?

 

[SoupNazi]

Here we go.

Some players stayed in top shape, some did not. And without a true training camp, this year will be different. Just like the athletes in the NFL and NBA the last couples years of their shortened seasons, the team with the best depth found themselves in much better positions at the end of the seasons.

 

[MBauer]

This is what happens when you sign 36 year old vets instead of letting the young guys play, this guys groin is injury prone.

Again, no different than any other year. Hockey's a sport where you've always got 2-3 guys on the IR ... or just about to go on IR.

It's a bit different because at normal season you have longer training camp, and more practise games, where Wings have used double roster to avoid pushing guys too much. Now we can't do that because junior leagues and AHL is running at same time.

Now they will start playing with 23-player roster limit, so you can't get that smoother start for guys. That could lead more to minor injuries. I think we will see those Griffins guys up in the first games, who are waiver free.

 

[Fugu]

Here we go.

Ten minutes from the time I posted to Heater's response. Got to shake the rust off for the season, amiright?
