Injury Report: Petry has hernia surgery, out 6-8 weeks

[Henkka]

Hope they will bring Tuomisto up.

Hope they will bring Tuomisto up.

Wouldn't hate it. Doubt he's an upgrade on Holl though.

 

[SantosHalper]

971 games, no silver stick. That must sting.

 

[PelagicJoe]

While I feel bad for the guy and hope he is ok, I am also kind of glad he won't be in the lineup for pretty much the rest of the year.

 

[jkutswings]

I wonder how long Petry's been playing with that.

Get well soon dude.

Agreed.

We need you to take Holl's spot.

No. Both need to be fuel for the trebuchet.

 

[lilidk]

Are you doing facial, to look younger?

It looked like he hurt himself reaching for a puck off a faceoff, immediately left the ice, and has been out of the lineup ever since. So, I would assume he didn't play with it at all.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

No. Both need to be fuel for the trebuchet.

I mean, ideally yes. But given a choice of "would you rather" between him and Holl, it's Petry all the way.

Sure...in the sense of, I'd rather get kicked in the nuts than shot in the head. But why would I volunteer for either?

Because those were the options (they aren't anymore with Petry's hernia surgery).

I'm not that familiar with the Dmen left in Grand Rapids so if there's someone actually viable to call up, great. But generally people underestimate the difference between defending in the AHL and NHL.

To clarify, I agree that those have been the options Detroit is stuck with this year. I'm saying that I never wanted either player on the roster to begin with - being cheap and shopping for several bottom tier players is a mess that Yzerman unnecessarily created for himself.

Having ONE of Petry / Holl / Gus would be fine. Having all three was always a bad idea. Pony up and get a real player instead of guaranteeing that you always have multiple bad options. (I don't accept that Detroit could not have gotten one of Roy, Skjei, Edmundson, Pesce, or Montour - or trade for somebody - as a legit player.)

I've been watching alot of griffin games, at least one a week use to be more, especially early when wings struggled. Even drove to two games, but... What's up with Tuomisto in your opinion?
