I agree with that. I don't think the coaches like to be asked questions during the game when they are trying match ups and line changes. They don't say anything we don't already know anyways. I think it's stupid myself. It's like saying a lower or upper body injury. No specifics. Just bothersome to the coaches who we see on during the game anyways. What are they going to say in a minute or two? More like a minute and not 2! Bettman must think the fans at home like it? Wrong!!!
Some good news from the injury files for a change. Zetterberg, Helm, Abdelkader expect to return for Detroit on Saturday. That should help spark some offense. Looking forward to that.
From Brendan Savage mlive... Jurco safe for now. I like that. I would like to see him play some more.

Gustavsson gets the start tonight. Smith will skate with Kronwall, instead of Quincey. Gotta beat these Panthers tonight. They seem to have the Wings number. Abby and Zetterberg expected back also is going to be a huge lift for the Wings offense.

Interesting time lapse of the coversion at the Big House. [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hhDYGCjC86g[/video]
When Dan Cleary was hit in the mouth with the puck last Saturday night, he lost 10 teeth. Thats a lot of chicklets.
