Modano out indefinitely after surgery

After last season, you'd think the hockey gods would give the Red Wings a break from injuries this year.

But no, the Wings' depth is going to be tested again.

Center Mike Modano, in his first season with the Wings, is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery Saturday morning.

Modano's right wrist was cut by one of the Blu Jackets' skates in the second period of Friday night's 2-1 victory. He left the game and did not return.

The severity of the injury was not known immediately after the game. It turned out to be a severed tendon and slight nerve damage.

After the game, Modano returned to Detroit with the team. Saturday morning he had surgery on the wrist at the Detroit Medical Center.

This sucks.....

Actually, that's ok....

Babcock was already having some issues juggling the lineup to keep everyone sharp and fresh at the same time. Modano has a lot of miles on the tires, so being out 2-3 months isn't necessarily a bad thing. He'll be coming back fresh and mostly in shape (he'll probably be able to skate at least) right about the time where Babcock will want to start resting people.

Lights go out on Red Wings, Sharks

Turn out the lights, the party's over.

Not exactly.

The lights went out for some unknown reason and the party, err hockey game, might never get started.

According to a report on the San Jose Mercury News website, there is a power outage at HP Pavillion, home of the Sharks. There is no official word on the postponement of tonight's Red Wings-Sharks game, but it's a possibility.

they thing about the wings is it isnt and shouldnt be about being the "best team" it should be about walking the fine line between playing and resting the team. lidstrom looked human last year starting (was it what about feb 1?) and he wasnt alone. the number of old guys (and guys with tons of mileage from continuous deep playoff pushes) should not be overlooked. they wont have the "infusion" from gr that they have had in the past with those guys gone, or playing regularly now. babs is a good coach and understands this, all that said its a tightrope to walk, and it should be a fun one to watch as a hockey fan.

vs LA tonight....dont like the LED screen on the boards.

Ozzy in net. Might need to score a lot :) Draper is back

Lids looked human because the Wings had to play every game after February 1st like it was an elimination game for the playoffs. Before that he was having a bad year at least for him.

This year has been completely different. The team has avoided the injury bug for the most part *knock on wood* and they haven't dug themselves a hole to climb out of with uninspired/crappy play.

not sure if you were drunk when you wrote this or not. Dont worry, most of my post are. But the Wings are full of Injuries and are the best team in the NHL. This team should be stout this year and easily get to the WCF's
