Day to Day = Back Surgery

 

[Chino Oscar]

The hell.... hope everything went well and he recovers for next season. Tallon implied he tried to play through the injury for the last month... that explains his decline in production... hope he recovers well.

 

[I am not exposed]

Damn. Well at least Trocheck is getting some points in his absence.

 

[Aksu]

Played injured for a month. I knew something was wrong..
Speedy recovery Nick!

 

[Gentle Man]

He'll be back in time for the 2nd round of the playoffs

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

He was day to day but did anyone think he was coming back this year? Sounds like he'll be fine.

 

[Panthersfan1989]

screw our medical staff.

 

[batting1k]

Here's top hoping this doesn't affect his performance when he returns. Need him to be the player he was this year / better.

 

[Gentle Man]

Maybe out for the season actually means day to day?

makes you wonder... how many surgeries did Bolland have?

 

[PSLguy]

Wishing him a strong recovery! He is an important part of the core. Might have had 30 goals this year.

I think a lot of people suspected something wasn't quite right and this explains it!

 

[Big Bjugs]

At least that explains why Bjugs was non existent and its not because he was fading out.

 

[PBPantherfan]

Well that explains his slump. Panthers curse sign a long contract extension get hurt. Hope he has a complete recovery and is 100% for next year.

 

[Crossbar]

Damn.

 

[ShootIt]

Day to day is my guess lol.

Damn. This stinks. Hopefully he has no lingering issues from this

 

[Bure1096]

Seriously need to question the medical staff... every single injury turns out to be catastrophic.

Agreed. I don't think he should've been playing if it was suspected he had a back injury. I know most players will play through injury during this time of the year, but that's understandable if you're playing for a contender. Even though the surgery was successful, who knows what could've happened had he injured it further while playing through it. Back injuries are widely known to be risky. Bjugstad is a big part of the future and his career could've been jeopardized had it been hit the wrong way.

They aren't stupid... obviousky they determined it couldn't be any worse from playing through it so he tried and it wasn't good... u guys r hilarious when it comes to training staff.. day to day happens.. who cares.. the team doesn't have to disclose to u what's wrong and gain nothing from doing so...hopefully he's 100 percent by next year... backs can be tough to overcome

I'm not saying they have to disclose anything. I'm just saying I don't see the point in him playing through a back injury that required surgery. Obviously he didn't look 100% out there for several games so what was the point?

Hope Nick has a speedy recovery and solid rehab.

 

[CHGoalie27]

It would be Nicky of all players to go down like that.

Hey Panthers fans, I'm sure this won't be a surprise to any of you, your best player is no longer available.

 

[StrangeVision]

It's always a good idea to have a player you just signed long-term to play through an injury that ultimately required surgery.

 

[Gentle Man]

All you Trocheck guys out there, hope you guys are right about this kid. now is his chance to show what he is made off

Seems like we are
@GeorgeRichards "Trocheck & Pirri definitely show chemistry. Of Pirri’s three goals in the past 2 games, TRO recorded primary assist"
