Henrik Zetterberg talked to Sport Bladet, a Swedish sports newspaper. Unfortunately for Detroit fans hoping to see Zetterberg this season, he cast an even darker shadow on those hopes than did Jeff Blashill a few days ago.
Thanks to the help of Patrik Bexell, we have actual translations for the Zetterberg quotes, which follow:
“I haven’t been able to practice as usual during summer, so I will miss camp and the start of the season”
“At the moment I am doing rehab here in Detroit”
“It is nothing good with my back, since the operation I made back in 2014 after the Olympics it has been problems”
It really started to hurt during last season, I felt sometime during February that not everything was okay.
