[Blackhawkswincup]

That did not look good at all

Looked like Hansen gave him a turn-around slash to the ankle.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Gonna assume worst case right now

If that is indeed what we are facing then Pirri has chance of lifetime ,, Either take the chance and run with it or he wont be with Hawks much longer and may never get another top 6 chance in NHL

 

[Kurtosis]

Bolland is definitely missing a lot of time. At this point I don't see him playing any more hockey this year.

 

[Cullksinikers]

I don't think he buckled. Looked like Hansen hit him with his stick. We'll see.

 

[featherhawk]

Looked real bad live... And ghe worst was bollands facial expression and reaction

 

[Espies333s]

What are the center options if Bolland is out? Does Kruger become the 2nd Line C and we call up a 4th? I know there are these discussion threads, but they don't include Bolland being injured.

With Hawks who knows

I would think Pirri gets a legit look as he cant play bottom 6 C role

And beyond Kruger/Mayers we have no real C options unless Sharp finally goes back

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Saad-Toews-Hossa
Stalberg-Sharp-Kane
Shaw-Kruger-Bickell
Bollig-Mayers-Frolik


Hopefully.

Bolland wasn't lighting the world on fire at 2C. Will miss him on the PK for sure.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Please recall Pirri. But, alas, Kruger shall be 2C and Mayers will be 4C.

 

[ndgt10]

Don't worry guys, Bowman will make a deal......

 

[Illinihockey]

I hope it was a slash, I thought it just went out which is way worse

 

[Chris Hansen]

If you watch the NBA, you've seen that kind of buckling before.

Not that the injury is specific to that sport. That's just where I keep seeing it.

Really hoping it's not serious.

 

[AmericanDream]

I thought Bolland was terrible tonight. I was hoping for something to keep his ass on the bench as he was a turnover machine...but when I saw him go down I felt very bad as it looks serious and the dude might be done for some time...

Hey Toronto, what do you want for Tim Connolly??? hahahaha

 

[Illinihockey]

Looked like an acl to me but hopefully he got slashed like people are saying. A break is 6-8 weeks, acl is 6-8 months

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hopefully Q brings Sharp aside and tells him he is going back to C

We won a freaking cup with him there next to Hossa ,, Time to take one for team Sharpie and go back to C

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I didn't see any slash ,, Looked like he tried to turn and it just buckled

 

[Sevanston]

I don't know if I'd be able to handle all of the posts about lost faceoffs if Pirri gets the call.

Q didn't do this at any point last year, when our need was arguably more serious.

I'm not expecting anything to change now.

If he was lighting it up on the wing it'd be one thing but if he's not productive as it is I see no reason to not use him in the middle.

Really? Hansen's stick quite obviously catches Bolland on the inner ankle area

 

[HockeySauce]

I thought Hansen's stick hit him on the inside of his leg, not his ankle. Thought for sure he'd be back. Either way, it didn't look that bad IMO.

I looked at it again and I agree with you. what sells me on the slash is Bolland's slash on the boards of his own. players dont do that if they get hurt on their own, he was pissed that the refs missed a cheap shot and he smashed the boards with his stick...at least thats what I hope.
