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.”

If it aint Foppa’s foot, it’s Zata’s back. These Swedes need to drink more milk as they grow up or something.

The difference between Forsberg and Zetterberg is that Foppa would play in the all star game and risk the rest of his season.
Let him take off a few weeks now rather than closer to the playoffs.
