Injury Report: Samuelsson out 2 weeks, fractured finger

[JmanWingsFan]

Having to watch Cleary every night amritie?? I'll show myself out.

It's too bad Hudler isn't on the team anymore... Could probably blame him.

I have to say, I am a fan of snarky Heaton. One bright spot in this otherwise dull season has been your slow transition into a jaded, sarcastic fan (don't worry, it's not offensive for me to say that because I'm one too)

You would have to think Bedard knew about Howard's blurred vision. He works with Jimmy the most. I highly doubt trainers would stay quiet if they knew. I wonder what the repercussions will be, if any, for whoever withheld information.

 

[Fugu]

Concussion for Howard? Where and when did that come from?

When players have dizzyness, headache, blurred vision, for example, or anything that appears neurological, they are removed from play and have to go to a quiet room, and get a baseline neuro exam. A concussion isn't diagnosed on the spot, but if there are symptoms suggestive of one, they must consult a neurologist before they can return to play.

There's a massive thread on the business board that's been tracking all the sports and policies:

I hope it's something. I don't want this swept under the rug, because allowing the guy to play like that, if he'd gotten run or something, could have had serious long-term effects on Howard's career, or, God forbid, ended it. Whoever knew should have spoken right up to Babcock.

Howard longterm and in comes Mrazek? I could be ok with that.

During practice apparently. Hopefully it's not too severe.

I want to know who the **** bumped into him.

Per Ken Holland, #RedWings F Mikael Samuelsson has non-displaced fractured finger. Out minimum 2 weeks.

It's a meh injury, Samuelsson didn't do much in his game back the other night, i'd rather have Tatar / Andersson.

Nobody does much after a groin injury.

But I think this finger injury is just good for him. He can put his skating back together on that time.

Alright, call up Sheahan and let him replace either Cleary or Abby on a scoring line.

I get what you're saying, but Tatar has been looking good and I'd rather give him more minutes. Samuelsson is bigger and shoots, but rarely hits the net.

Cleary for backup goalie!

I'm willing to accept how Babs does things. He wants a big body which is the only reason Cleary and Abby are playing in the top 6. Tatar is not a big body. So he is unlikely to get bumped up. He had a few nice plays last night and I'm definitely a fan, I am just willing to accept reality and if Sheahan gets a call up there's a good chance Babs gives him top 6 ice time. It's better than Cleary and Abby in the top 6.

Hey, as long as Tatar gets his regular shift I'm good. His role right now is fine, it's just that he could be playing an even greater one with the current lineup. I think Cleary playing in the top6 stings more than Tatar playing on the 3rd line. But at least he's getting NHL time, and he's not looking out of place. Makes me feel a little better about next season already.

 

[Vladdy84]

Cleary is a big body? He sure does play small and weak.

 

[Shoalzie]

[Hides hammer behind back]

Oh, that's too bad about Sammy...

 

[Shoalzie]

So, does this get Mursak back in the lineup for sure?

The best part of the veterans getting dinged up or playing like crap...it just shows that it's not that much worse than if they just let some of the young bucks run this thing.

Out of all the injuries, they miss Helm the most...nobody has his speed. The rest of the injuries haven't been crippling. Losing Howard for a while would suck.

Don't think so, by my count there's 13 healthy forwards. Should be between Eaves or him.

One by one I think Helm affects the team the most. But when you lose Bert, Franzen and Sammy at the same time, really the only big bodies up front, that's crippling to your success.

Yeah, the big takeaway is he's showing he belongs. He's got puck skills and we clearly lack that right now. I think the worst thing would be for him to be bumped up and then if his production dries up he gets sent back down. He's doing a nice job with his role and I want to see him continue to play for the DRW.

 

[BinCookin]

Maybe Holland was thinking... man we are old... we are going to have alot of injuries.

But those that are not injured still play better than rookies (his thinking not mine)

so ill sign 16-17 forwards, then when they get injured, I will have extras !

ya ya

The only injuries that might give us a chance for the lottery is if both Z and Datsyuk are out for the season. This team is still too good to be a lottery team.

 

[redwings85]

And the Injuries keep comin...

Holy potato.

It was moreso just a sentiment rather than an actual plan so I agree with what you're saying, but I feel like both players will eventually get an injury sometime this season given their recent history.

Well with the revamped lottery all we have to do is miss the playoffs to have a shot. Could you imagine the outrage if we got the number one after coming in 14th? Would be spectacular.
