from Chuck Pleiness of Red Wings Front,
Babcock said before the playoffs that signing DeKeyser was the reason the Wings reached the playoffs for a 22nd consecutive season.
“He’s a kid, don’t get me wrong, but he’s a good player, so that’s a big blow for our team,” Babcock said. “But there are other guys that have been working hard, Lash, Colaiacovo have been working like crazy, trying to get back in the lineup. One of them will be in.”
I reviewed last night's game and right before the Ducks 3rd goal DeKeyser was in the corner battling with Selanne and DeKeyser had his stick at a weird angle and then you see him twitch a bit, there was no slash involved.
Unfortunately, that is not part of the video below, but it does show him in some pain as he remained on the ice and you can see him grab for his right hand right after the goal.

Kronwall still needs a thunder buddy. Ericsson isn’t the lost cause point of no return like I thought he once was. What I wouldn’t give to just erase Quincey and give that 3.75 million to a real player like Zidlicky. We have some glaring holes but there’s some easy fixes I’m convinced.

If it were me (and it’s probably good it’s not), Lashoff would come in for DD, and Smith would sit in favor of Cocoa.

Yes yes yes yes yes. Sorry BS, but your playoff game is not up-to-snuff.

About The Malik Report
The Malik Report is a destination for all things Red Wings-related. I offer biased, perhaps unprofessional-at-times and verbose coverage of my favorite team, their prospects and developmental affiliates. I've joined the Kukla's Korner family with five years of blogging under my belt, and I hope you'll find almost everything you need to follow your Red Wings at a place where all opinions are created equal and we're all friends, talking about hockey and the team we love to follow.
Smith is just a (NHL-level) baby, so he’s got to learn what not to do. He showed a lot of improvement from Game 1 to Game 2..mostly because he made so many mistakes in Game 1 (which he apparently learned from!). I’m willing to give Kindl another season to see if he’s just going in and out of some sort of Sophomoric-ish Slump and he will even out into a decent d-man or if he will continue to be inconsistent. Big E has been around long enough that he should be more consistent night to night, so for me, he’s getting a bit frustrating. And…yeah…Quincey…he’s um…um…Hey! At least the one time he makes a successful pinch this entire season it turns into a goal…right?
Does Babcock have a teenage daughter that White picked up for a date on a motorcycle or something?
