Mark Letestu is packing his bags. That must mean he’s filling in for Crosby (groin) tonight

Red Wings fans can’t catch a break! If Crosby is going to be playing well, why can’t he keep the hawks from running away with the division?

This is fodder for some tinfoil hat discussion! ; )

I completely forgot about the “screwing the Red Wings” angle. Thanks redxblack!

It’s either heroic wing or Red Wings loss. I feel a lot better now.

Pretty funny. That was my exact reaction when I read the headline. Apparently, the hockey gods are dumping on the Wings so much they’re even injuring other players now when that will help another Central Division team. smile

Heroic WIN, not wing. Argh!

Note to self: reduce the consumption of red wing… I mean red wine.

I’m surprised there hasn’t been any “Crosby/groin” jokes yet.
I would think there would be at least 12 by now.

This is no time for joking. This is a very serious matter. wink

Absolutely, Bettman himself is massaging the groin as we speak.

I think this game just so happened to fall on Rosby’s “time of the month”.

Oh, snap...as Lil’ Gary might say. smile

...reduce the consumption of red wing… I mean red wine.

These days, if you maintain your normal consumption of Red Wing(s), you must triple your consumption of red wine. But, hey, as they say, every cloud has its silver lining.  grin
