Looked dirty.
And no not a cut. From my pov looks like a bruise or break


Edit: I guess it's a laceration... How did that happen?

 

[namttebih]

Any updates yet on what happened? Looks like a cut

Can someone post it? I was away from the TV when it happened.

 

[Michael Gary Scott]

Leg laceration

 

[Hanta Yo]

Leg laceration

Yep.

Brutal.

[Canucks LB]

I hope he is okay, I don't understand why all NHL players don't wear those kevlar socks.

Bieksa uses them now after he had his foot lacerated twice.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

so out for how long approximately?

 

[Cor]

Dion Phaneuf missed 16 games (about 5 weeks) with a leg laceration in 2011

 

[dubey]

Are you honestly expecting an answer now?

 

[I am Canadian]

Probably 6+ weeks, **** Kassian.

 

[glg51*]

Better than a break. Doubt its achilles.

Completely different part of the leg.

Nobody knows how serious this one is ... yet..

it could be minor or it could be achilles

 

[FlareKnight]

so out for how long approximately?

Depends where he got cut. Phaneuf missed 16 games with one before. Though Karlsson lost his season. There's no approximate when we don't know exactly how bad the cut is.

 

[Suntouchable13]

He could be back next game or he could be out a while. Nobody really knows as of yet.

 

[Radomon]

If Ashton got 2 games for that hit the other night this should be around 15 games IMO. So ****ing dirty.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Laceration eh ? Gonna say at least a month.

 

[The Caveman]

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 36s
Nothing official by any means, but belief is Bolland suffered a lacerated ankle tendon (not Achilles) that may require surgery to repair.

 

[bleeney]

Kassian is, and always has been, an ass-hole.

 

[Al14]

He'll be back by Christmas...









2014

 

[MS13]

Brutal!!! This is not what we need right now. I hope the injury isn't too serious. Bolland is huge for us

 

[RoadWarrior]

Kassian should be suspended. He clearly raised his skate going into bolland attempting to kick him.

If it was another player you could give him the benefit of the doubt but kassian has a record and should be held accountable

The officiating in general has been brutal in this game. So many phantom calls on the leafs.

If it's a lacerated tendon he's gone for 4 months.

 

[Cor]

Completely different part of the leg.

Nobody knows how serious this one is ... yet..

No, it was actually around the same area.

 

[Cor]

Also, stop saying Kassian should be suspended. It's embarrassing.

Yup. And they somehow missed Ranger being boarded from behind. And to add insult to injury, Ranger got called later on the same shift.

Brutal!
