By now I’m certain everyone’s heard the news that Zetterberg will be out a minimum of two weeks with a “slight shoulder separation” after getting decked by Mattias Ohlund Thursday.  I personally can’t imagine how any shoulder separation is slight, but at least he’s not out for extremely long term.

 game recap 18 December 2009

Goals were as follows:
Detroit: Drew Miller (Rafalski); Todd Bertuzzi (Holmstrom, Datsyuk); Patrick Eaves (Lidstrom, Rafalski)
Tampa Bay: none
This whole game was one big effing Minus because of what happened with a minute and change left in the first period.  Mattias Ohlund plastered Henrik Zetterberg, and I died on the inside when …

2-3-5 for this past week, and was +7.  He’s rounding into form, finally, …

Looks like there are some line changes for tonight’s game …

 game preview 18 September 2009

Tonight the New York Rangers will be rolling to Joe Louis Arena to take on the Detroit Red Wings in Detroit’s second game of the pre-season.
Fresh news out of Detroit, Zetterberg’s not playing due to a flareup in his sore groin.  I’m not freaking out about this.  They’ve got 6 …
