Said he left the arena on crutches in a walking boot and was moving "gingerly" on his left leg. Probably not good, but doubtful it was a slice if he was wearing a walking boot. I would imagine he's not wearing a walking boot for a cut, but IDK.
Most these guys wear the kevlar cut-proof socks/base layer nowadays, so it's not something that is all that common anymore.

I don't think it was a cut, but watching the clip back, it looks like an achilles injury. The way he reacts after and everything.

Yep. Don't think a cut, either, but definitely looked like it was achilles.

On the weekend's HNIC telecast, Ron Maclean stated that Bedard would be out another 5 weeks. I was hoping he'd be a quicker healer. He must be itching to return - I think it will be sooner.
What a contrast to 1968 when Bobby Hull broke his jaw and returned after missing a single game. Hull scored 10 goals in the 6 weeks he had his jaw wired shut and lost quite a bit of weight. He also fought Jean Ferguson 10 days after returning while wearing his football-style face protection..... (not trying to start anything, just saying, so please don't anyone get their shorts in a knot

Pretty sure he's just basing that off the initial "timetable" given for the injury of 6-8 weeks recovery. Not necessarily based upon some kind of inside info he has on Bedard.On the weekend's HNIC telecast, Ron Maclean stated that Bedard would be out another 5 weeks. I was hoping he'd be a quicker healer. He must be itching to return - I think it will be sooner.

To be fair Hull had a significant pain suppression advantage because he was a raging alcoholic...
I also don't doubt that Bedard would be trying to play now if the team would let him (a risk they are wisely not going to take with their 18-year old franchise player in a completely lost season)
f***ing awful for Fantilli by the way. Really sucks that all of Bedard, Carlsson and Fantilli have had significant injuries cutting into exciting rookie years.

Wow. Wasn't expecting that. Guess he'll be wearing the kevlar base layer/socks moving forward. If he already was... then I guess they don't work as well as advertised...

I was right, though. He was there, and on the ice, and participating(though not actually competing). Yes, I'm going to point out that I was right.

He's lost alot of weight. You can tell my his face/jaw line being more defined. I wonder how much weight he lost after his injury.
