Injury Report: Bruins Injury Thread II

[Gordoff]

Absolutely shocking that Krejci is out again.

You forgot the I don't think anyone would/should be shocked. DK is in one way or the other damaged goods. He's pushed his body and now it's pushing back. IMO we can expect this for the rest of his career. Maybe he can get on the TB12 program!?!

Absolutely shocking that Krejci is out again.

He took a hit last game or maybe late against the Pens can’t remember which game it was,but he laboured getting of the ice.Wasnt really that big of a hit though.

I think it was the Pens game. It looked like it hurt. Must be a shoulder or his back.

I had read somewhere was his back,I can sympathize with him there ,I’ve thrown my back outputting my shoes on.

I could pinpoint the hit it occurred him, I saw him get hit pretty good and cringed because it was Krech...next thing you know he's out.

I thought it was the Pens game and he played Sunday.

Not with a back injury- it is easy to re-tweak it if you try to do too much too soon after the swelling & pain have gone down to the point where you try to resume your normal activities.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt

Didn't need to be that hard to reinjure it, backs suck that way.

Could be right actually considering another person remembered the same as you.

 

[LSCII]

Bruins lose entire second line in five-day span

Pretty much a microcosm of the season thus far...

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Good time to have only 3 games in 10 days with all those injuries...

Back injuries doomed my first ever favorite player, John LeClair. Of course, he was a much more physical player than Krejci. But if it hurts, it hurts.

 

[PlayMakers]

At some point, you have to start wondering about the training staff and the kind of work the players are putting in to avoid the injuries that can be avoided. (Obviously not colon surgery or concussions, but strains, sprains and automobiles.)

I don't know how much validity there is to it, but I remember Mike Boyle at a conference bragging about how he had BU doing X, Y and Z to reduce the chance of injury and sure enough, by the end of the year he said they had the fewest injuries in the conference.

Wheels on the bus go round and round...round and round

I liked LeClair a lot too.

My favorite baseball team is the Mets. Google some stuff in their injuries this year. Bruins seem to have a crazy amount this year. Could have something to do w conditioning considering the strains. They seem to have a lot of injuries caused by other players running them though.

 

[Bruinaura]

I liked LeClair a lot too.

I always thought he would be my favorite all time player, ever.

.....And then along came Bergeron

Anyway, I hope they are not rushing some of these guys back.

 

[bruinmann77]

at least the young guys continue to get on the job experience

Been thinking this for awhile now. Even concussions are somewhat preventable(not sure that's the right word) by doing neck strengthing exercises and mobility work. At some point though the groin injuries, back issues, tweaks here and there have to point back to that staff. With modern medicine and technology, you would this wouldn't be such a prevalent concern.

 

[Dr Seldon]

While I haven't read any studies or anything, my gut feeling is that yes, you can do some preventative work, but it will only reduce the risk mildly. In the end it will mostly come down to luck anyway.

Although I do wonder if it could have a commutative effect. In the sense that if you have a lot of injuries, you work the healty(ish) players harder, leading to even more injuries.

 

[JCRO]

This team just cant catch a break.

And like others posted above, you have to wonder if theres a common factor here.

Seems like they get a few guys back then a few guys go out. On constant rotation.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Than you have the players years ago,that really didn’t do much in the way of working out,they just showed up to play.I don’t remember there being guys hurt all the time like today.Granted the game has got faster ,players are bigger,but than it was also a lot more physical.

Players are bigger, faster, stronger, and they get drug-tested

I think the snowball effect is definitely taking place. For example, I bet Backes wouldn't be a "game time decision" tonight if we had a fully healthy team that was comfortably first or second in the division...or, on the other hand, if we'd already pissed away so many points that we weren't going to make the playoffs. He'd probably be taking it a lot more slowly, and coming back at closer to 99% than 90%...and that 9% makes a big difference.

Heck, that may have been exactly what happened with Krejci - team's in a bind, and, say what you will, with the warrior-player mentality that exists in the NHL, he's going to want to come back ASAP. So, he comes back, and retweaks himself. Which causes Backes to come back, and tweak himself, which causes....
