Apparently, he's had it for several months now.

Yup heading back to Detroit for evaluation. Babcock doesn't think he will be ready at the end of the O break either. Damn!
Damn, Sweden without its top 2 centers.Originally Posted by Shoeless
and Backstrom's granny thinks he sucks so if she is to be believed then they don't have any centers at all really...this doesn't bode well for the Swedes :S

Sucks for Sweden with their two top C's out... great for Canada
Fixed that for ya ...Sucks for Sweden with their two top C's out... great for USA
But seriously, this is awful news. Really puts a damper on my Team Sweden Gold medal pick in my olympic box pool, and Wings fans really have to be feeling down about this news. Yikes, yikes, yikes.

Perre McGuire said this morning there's a good chance Zetterberg will miss most of the season.
Also, apparently he can't even fly back to Detroit for treatment. His back is too bad for the long plane ride.

Re: Zetterberg out with a herniated disc
SOCHI, Russia (AP) -- Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland does not expect Henrik Zetterberg to play again during the regular season because of his back ailment.

Re: Zetterberg out with a herniated disc
Does this give Weiss a legit top 6 job when the season resumes? Gotta think he'll get a shot to succeed down the stretch.

Re: Zetterberg out with a herniated disc
Yikes, a serious (and apparently chronic) back injury on a guy that will be 34 next season? Gotta think this hurts his value quite a bit.
Re: Zetterberg out with a herniated disc
Yup I think Weiss gets a shot at least - I tucked him onto IR before the O break and it looks to me like a good decision with Z now out. Let's see if he can produce, I am wagering he will actually.
Re: Zetterberg out with a herniated disc
That was a ''Weiss'' decision Shoeless
I grabbed him as well in a deeper league, but I do not expect anything above a 0.6 ppg pace down the stretch (realistically I'm hoping for 0.5)
