They are mentioning a blocked shot in ththe second periodI listened to the Toronto radio call, was there an obvious play where this may have happened? I don't think they mentioned anything.
Cassidy says XRay’s after Saturday’s game we’re negative. My guess is they did a scan after Sunday’s game.Why did he play Sunday? I know they would've been short but why risk anything with this guy?
Yep. Probably a hairline fracture that didn't show up in an X-ray. Better to get it better now and have him for the playoffs rather than play through it now.Cassidy says XRay’s after Saturday’s game we’re negative. My guess is they did a scan after Sunday’s game.
Are these guys ever 100% though? If the x-ray came back negative and Bergy said he's fine, they're not going decide for him.It's nitpicking, but it irks the hell out of me that they still played him Sunday. If he wasn't 100%, don't play him in a game against a team you aren't jockeying for playoff position, the day after he hurt his foot.
I hate that I can just repeat this post - but so it is. I've looked around, anyone hear anything?When is McAvoy expected back?
I've been dreading this thread getting bumped all day.
To me it looked like his left skate hung up for a split second then his foot sprung the other way. I thought it would be a non major left knee injury but you never know.Re-watching the injury feels like an exercise in trying to read tea leaves. He gets tripped and falls down. I'd guess a shoulder injury before anything else.
She is correct. The 6 week thing is new. But 3-4 WeeksFWIW, Bedard’s doctor on BSJ thinks MCL sprain. Days/week if it is mild, 4-6 weeks if it is moderate. Brace, rest would be the treatment.
He was wearing a brace today, so that seems to line up with the available info.
Does that include JFK? It sounded like he had a serious head injury in late February but I've been able to find 0 about that since. Good job good effort Bruins media.Wingels and McQuaid were healthy scratches last night, so they are covered if DeBrusk is out plus one of the defenseman. They’d need a D if both Chara and Krug can’t go. FWIW, there were no absences from Providence’s practice today. There is still plenty of time to get someone to Florida for the game tomorrow, but I would think they’d try to get someone there sooner rather than later if they knew both Chara and Krug were out.
