While at first it looked like Zetterberg's injury appeared to be minor, the comments he made to the media today appear to hint at a more serious issue. Zetterberg made it clear on Tuesday that he would not be playing in the game against the Los Angel
“I feel like it hasn’t changed since Saturday. Hopefully, I will feel better soon. I thought it would be better but unfortunately, no,” said Zetterberg. “I have some symptoms that I don’t have when I am 100 percent, so until those symptoms go away, we’ve just got to take it easy.”It's hard not to get worried when "symptoms" is often a code word for concussion, and add to that the fact that Jamie Benn clearly punched Zetterberg twice in the head and it all seems to fit. The Red Wings face off against the red hot L.A. Kings, winners of 7 in a row, and having Zetterberg out of the line up is horrible news at best. We've shared the video several times already, but we think it's worth including given how serious this is starting to look, keep in mind the NHL did not issue a suspension for this play.
