More perfection.

Bomboulie said there was no noticeable limp or protective devices on Brassard when he saw him, so that’s good I would hope.

Groin always scares me in hockey.

This post is infraction bait

Well he’s not out for the season which is good, but let’s hope the day-to-day assessment isn’t a deliberate attempt to mislead, and he’ll be “day to day”while the POs start without him.

I still think we won’t see Brass until the POs, or maybe the last RS game if he’s ready and they want to get him some action....

Dammit. One i didn't want to be right about.

The problem is - that is going to be an on/off issue all playoffs until he rests.

Nawww, post season isn't even until around April 11. 2 weeks is more than enough time. We all know they can linger.
Hope it's not too bad.

Probably going to have to take injections, with the risk of making it worse. I had a “mild” groin injury from running and it took a year to heal properly. I felt it every time I stood up from the couch....

I never hear of hamstring injuries like I do in Aussie Rules football (and from experience). Is that just because of the mechanics of skating vs running? Obviously hockey players don’t swing their legs up too. Just thought it was weird I don’t actually remember hearing of a hamstring injury in hockey.

Brassard gets an injury within weeks of becoming Penguin after being healthy all year and playing in 81, 80, 80, and 81 games the previous 4 seasons.

Because of course he would.

Ovechkin and Wideman come to mind, so they do happen. I just think they're not as widely publicized, and certainly rarer than knee or shoulder injuries.

Perfect time to sit him for the remainder of the regular season (~1.5 weeks) and hope that that's enough. Wouldn't surprise me if he misses a PO game or two depending on how we're playing and how he's feeling.

[Ogrezilla]

Could be a scratch, could be a stubbed finger, or his arm could have been cut clean off. Sully would give that same answer regardless

Did Phil take a shift after his goal?

 

[CertifiedLurker]

Saw the replay of his reaction to the slash. It's not his wrist thank god. Looks like his ribs maybe.

Did Phil take a shift after his goal?

I think I saw him back on the PP after his goal but I'm not 100% certain.

 

[The Old Master]

well, we all thought he has been playing with an injury....he could of just made it worse

 

[cheesedanish87]

Here's Phil's injury.

Its hard to see exactly where Phil got hit.

 

[metalan2]

Penguins are a better team with Sheahan has 3c.

It's insane, but it's true.

Brassard needs to play 4c. Call it what you want, but Sheahan needs to play 16 minutes again or more. Brassard can play the same.

From this, it looks more like his abdomen or groin....

No...... just no. Now if you said both Sheary and Kessel shouldn't be on the same line because of their perimeter play I'd agree with you. But never has the sun risen on a day where Sheahan is a better option at 3rd line center than Brassard.
