• Adam McQuaid, who was expected to miss 4-6 weeks after suffering a shoulder strain, was back on the ice and skated with the team for the first time since suffering his injury.
• Chris Kelly (broken left tibia), who traveled with the team to Montreal and sat out for the 14th straight game Saturday, was also back on the ice, skating with the team. On Friday, when Kelly skated for the first time with the team, coach Claude Julien indicated his status was "day to day."

"Chris Kelly says that he's been medically cleared to play, and he'll be good to go tonight vs the Hurricanes"

Following practice, Coach said there was no further update yet on Bergeron’s status and that he would update the media when the B’s knew more.
Coach noted that a “situation like that is very unknown; we’ll certainly update you guys when the news starts getting positive and he’s headed in the right direction.â€

Not good. I don't like the sound of that, implying that as of right now there is no good news or any positives about Bergeron yet.
Let's face it...Bergy is 1 cold-**** away from CAREER OVER.
As much as I have love him, we need backup plans. As a GM, I would look at dealing him in the offseason if he is healthy in the playoffs...or during the season next year.
The problem is the return might not be significant because of other GMs being very wary.
What I wouldn't do is sign him to another Savard contract.
So, the problem the Bs will have if they do resign him is Bergy and agent wanting 5-7 years and the Bruins offering 1-2 years at a time to avoid issues with the contract down the road.
Really really tough situation. In the NFL, he would probably be released.
CP, not sure if it was that article or another, but they also stated that the days vary, some good then some bad.

concussions are crazy injuries. perspective is so different if you ever had one - i remember for years wondering why these guys would sit out for so long. figured that you sit out for 7-10 days and everything is fine. having had a concussion personally and more recently, i can say it's a very unpredictable and frustrating injury. one minute you feel ok, the next you're staring into space wondering if it's nap time or why there's no milk and cookies. hoping for the best with bergeron - both for his well-being and his career. obviously the guy's passion in life is hockey, and would be happy to see him back on the ice.
Bergeron was at the game tonight, so that's a good sign.

Bergeron pal says star Bruins pivot 'encouraged' by last week's neuro exam.
I was out of town, in the back woods of Virginia with no news.
How did Patrice get a concussion ?
