Back Again: Zetterberg In Pain

This can’t be good.
Bad news from this morning’s skate at the Toyota Center in El Segundo, California: Red Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg didn’t practice because his back is acting up again.
Zetterberg, the team’s leading scorer with 28 goals and 61 points, and a plus-20 rating, in 44 games, missed five games in late December because of back spasms, and his back problems cost him the last 19 games of the regular season last year.
Zetterberg is doubtful for Tuesday’s game and the All Star Game is in doubt, as well.
Zetterberg, who was voted in as a starter by fans for this Sunday’s All-Star Game in Atlanta, pulled out of last season’s event because of a sore wrist. Asked if that would factor into his decision this year, Zetterberg’s answer was revealing.
“I think you don’t want to miss 19 games,” he said, meaning better to miss an All-Star Game than risk aggravating anything. “That’s my main concern. I don’t want to let it go that far. I just have to do the things we do to not make that happen. I don’t right now what that is, but we just have to stay on top of it.”

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
