Mark Spizzirri: UPDATE: Pavel Datsyuk out 4-5 weeks with second degree shoulder sprain

Jesus (frank)ing Christ.

I still don't know how Datsyuk found himself in a situation where Rob Scuderi of all people creamed him.

Clearly they're still cursed. Having said that I'll take a shoulder injury over knee problems for Datsyuk (or back problems for Z) any day.

Didn't look like much of a hit to me really. Datsyuk dumped the puck in and tried to squeeze by between Scuderi and the boards and got hit.

droppin like flies already.

Mantha, Datsyuk . who is next, spin the wheel!

Helm is my bet.

Exactly, why would anybody ever have to dump it in on Scuderi? haha

I know this sounds terrible but it would have been mutually beneficial if it had been the other way around - Datsyuk separating Scuderi's shoulder. You guys would still have Datsyuk and we could put Scuderi on LTIR and free up that cap space .

Its hurts bad enough as a fan to lose a star player but in a useless game

At least Zetterberg usually steps up when Datsyuk goes down.

St. James was actually reporting 2 to 4 weeks, per Holland,
depending on the healing process.

Getting older. Losing a step. Not as quick as he once was, and injuries come a little easier too. He's 36 now. Twilight of his career.

in other news they did sign Hicketts for 3 years

That seems very optimistic for a grade 2 sprain. 4-6 is a better bet.

I think this is the season Detroit finally misses the post season..

And cue the crying bandwagon red wings fans.

Depends if Cowen gives any more concussions to our stars.

Also nyquist can start scoring again. Last season after dats came back he didn't score another goal.

Datsyuk is only 30 though. When he goes back to Russia for the summer he goes into the the coldest part and let's himself freeze over. Preserving his body so he can hockey longer. Atleast that's what I thought he said he Speaks English pretty poorly and I'm partially deaf and semi delusional

Stating the obvious = trolling?

Seems to me like I'm hitting a nerve by pointing out reality.

Care to stick to the posts, and respond to the facts I've presented?
