BOSTON -- Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara suffered an upper-body injury during the first period of Thursday's game against the New York Rangers at TD Garden and will not return, the team announced.
In his first exhibition game of the preseason, Boston's captain played three shifts and logged 1:57 of ice time before he suffered the injury. He controlled the puck near the Bruins' bench, and after he dumped it in, the Rangers' Ryan Bourque checked Chara into the boards.
oh I'm with you on that. Shithead would just turtle though.Terras said:Oh, I didn't think it was a bad hit, I just wanted to see Tanner Glass superpunch Rinaldo's head into the stands.
Terras said:What's the procedure for expiring penalties? Do they play 4 on 4 or does someone have to come off?
Source? I haven't seen anything on this and didn't hear/see about it during the game. He actually has played quite well this preseason and hasn't crossed the line, in the sample size of two whole games.cshea said:I missed the 2nd half of the game, but it appears Shithead swiped at an official? Suspension looming?

I agree that the Spooner line looks "meh" so far but I think Hayes is the issue. Individually I saw flashes from Connolly and thought Spooner was pretty good, but Hayes has been very underwhelming in 2 pre-season games so far.
Absolutely. I went in last night intentionally watching him and Irwin closely and Miller definitely came out the better of the two. In position, stayed on his skates, played the puck well consistently, and he had at least two times he stood up attackers solo and swept the puck away cleanly. The rocket shot was also a really nice surprise; if he profiles out as a Boychuk replacement I won't be mad at that.Spaulding Smails said:For me, Colin Miller just passes the "eye test" out there. Love his poised, confident decision making thus far and his rocket shot doesn't hurt much either.
