This is a pretty big blow. Surgery was successful. I'd guess Nyquist coming in, maybe Mursak. Would like to see Fabian Brunnstrom get some time.

Yep, skate to wrist. He wears 15" gloves too. Not much else he could do to prevent it. Freak accident.
Gotta imagine it's Nyquist. I'm wondering if there's something wrong phsyically with Mursak. He used to be ahead of Emmerton and Nyquist in the pecking order.
I like Emmerton though. He's a horse. And Nyquist seems like a boom or bust type of guy. Tends to be out of position a lot, but he is also capable of creating scoring chances at any point. Good, young prospect.
I think that Mursak is still catching up from his broken ankle from the preseason. He doesn't seem to be ask quick as he was before.
From what I've read it will be either Conner or Nyquist. Nyquist has had some rookie mistakes but he played real well when Babcock put him on the first line with Datsyuk (but I guess Datsyuk can make anyone look good). Regardless, I hope we see Nyquist over Conner because we need the bigger body out there for this series.
It's gotta be Nyquist. Mursak no, Brunnstrom no. That simple.

I'm sorry but when I saw "Red Wing's Helm out for the playoffs" I read it "Red Wing's and Helm out OF the playoffs".
Perhaps given his importance to the team I did, unfortunately, read it correctly.
and clearly the hockey gods dislike Helm at the moment. Hope for a speedy recovery, ect.
Now we just have to see what happens with Weber. Is the NHL taking care of it, or are Bertuzzi and Kronwall?

Setting aside the impact on the team...
HOLY SHIT that sounds like the worst thing ever.
Take a brutally fast and physical sport then give the participants bludgeons and strap knives to their feet and see what kind of injuries we can come up with. Paul Pierce is fainting at the thought.
We're gonna play with toughness, we're gonna be responsible and we're gonna play with toughness. This is Michigan.
Blame it on Bettman.
"Are you an official here?Because you've officially given me a boner."
Well the only good news is that it at least it was successful and he should make a solid recovery
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
Helm out! F! Why did I wake up so angry?
[Caved troll is caved. Sorry, Mobile app users.]
Damn, Helm had just come back, too. Hope he recovers fully.
DetNews - Weber fined $2.5K, no suspension. What bullshit!!!
Michigan Resurgent? Michigan Resurgent!
The beatings will continue until the uniforms improve!
Skate-to-the-wrist caught a tendon? Hope he heals up OK.
