Datsyuk Update And Conner Talk
This entire post is mostly an excuse to post this picture. (Created by Kronwalled55.)
Will we see the return of the magician tonight for the game against the puppy dogs of Arizona? Well, looks like we’ll have to see.
“After three days off, of course I feel better, but I need to see,'' Datsyuk said. "After eight hours, we make decision. I hope so. Looking forward to playing.''
Said coach Mike Babcock of Datsyuk's status: “I don't know for sure, we're going to make a game-time decision.''
Groin injuries are a b!tch, so don't rush it Pav.
Hit the jump for more injury updates and some thoughts on Conner.
In other news, Mr. Mursak is back in Detroit after a few days in GR to get his wind back.. If Datsyuk can’t go, Mursak likely will.But on that vein, and I know this is a few days late, but I was not happy to see Conner sent down. The kid can play. He’s very similar to a more tenacious Patrick Eaves. I loved having him on line 3 with Helmer and Cleary and think he fits much better there than Miller. I hope this isn’t the last we see of him, it shouldn’t be. Mursak and Emmerton have some big shoes to fill (even if he is a little guy) in my opinion.
BTW, we have a treat in store for you for tonight's movie poster. Get pumped.
Some mornings I eat a box of dangles and go back to bed. Oh yeah...Connor is doing awesome!
I'm pretty obsessed with Connor. I loved him in the preseason and love him still. He works his butt off every shift and competes like he's 7 feet tall. Love the kid.
@mary Gonsalves The heart that guy plays with cannot be measured. I want to see more of the lion-wheeles-bear line. That line was awesome

Yeah, loved Connor's speed. Not a lot of guys can keep up with Helm.
Although, Miller did do a nice job chipping in on offense in his absence.
Glad to see im not the only one slightly miffed by that. IMO he gives us a better chance to win.
