[Hockey] Are the Red Wings cursed or what?!?Now Zetterberg is hurt. The Wings are now without:
Zetterberg Johan Franzen Val Filppula Jason Williams Dan Cleary Darren Helm Niklas Kronwall Jonathan Ericsson
And yet, they still sit in 8th. Tell me, are there any other teams out there today that could be missing 8 regulars, and still be in playoff contention? |

They have depth and a good coaching staff. |

Jimmy Howard has been incredible and they still have Lidstrom, Stuart, Rafalski and Lebda kicking ass on the D side!
Such a solid team though!
And the good thing about Zetterberg's injury is that he is only expected to miss about two weeks and because of the holidays and the way the schedule works out it should only be about 4 games. |

Of course they're cursed. That's a byproduct of the deal with Satan that Illitch signed about 20 years ago. |

While the Senators aren't missing 8, they are missing 5 (and had their 7th defenseman playing winger during the last game against Buffalo): Jason Spezza Chris Neil Nick Foligno Sean Donovan Pascal Leclaire All the forwards have knee problems and the #1 goalie took a puck to the face while sitting on the bench which broke a bone in his face. |

Detroit has been lucky with injuries over the years, about time they finally get some injuries. |

You might look at the Canucks early season. They had 8 + starters out. Luongo & a Sedin in that group. Never mind the two non starters from the start of the year Cody Hodgson & Pavol Demitra. Then again the Canucks aren't in contention being as to how they are three points back of Detroit. |

It's sports, you always wish bad things upon the other team. It's not like I'm wishing death upon them. Injuries happen, people live on. |

The compressed schedule is hurting more than a few teams. Better to have the injuries now than during the post Olympic stretch run. |

Bingo Noelstrom. We've had quite the run the past 14-15 years and the good thing about being a Wings fan in this era is We have an owner that wants to win not just rake in the $$$ and a GM who will have us back at the top within a couple years |
