Injury Report: Bruins 2021 Injured list

[McGarnagle]

hope smitty is ok. if he's out i guess it's the karson kuhlman show. debrusk looks out of
sorts on the right side most of the time. kuhlman is sort of a lesser skilled smith, so
wonder if they'll just do that and leave JDB on 3rd line.

Hall and Kuhlman on the same line would be a sight to see in terms of speed. They'll both leave Islanders in the dust. Unfortunately that's about the extent of their similarities as players. Still, I think Kuhlman's skating could at least put the Isles defense into panic and help Krejci find passing space.

That would be fun to watch and I hope Cassidy does this. Kuhlman a real gamer and never stops and with Krejci and Hall skill, it could be a good mix, and they would most certainly help wear down the isle defenseman, or maybe Cassidy inserts Steen and it will be his coming out party to the NHL

My guess though is he keeps Jake up there. Imo though Jake brings more to the table and to the teams overall success playing his natural LW position on one of the bottom two lines, and a Kuhlman or even a Steen would proved what's needed playing along side two-highly skilled players like Hall and Krejci, but then again my opinion isn't worth a hill of beans.

 

[The don godfather]

Any news on Craig ?

 

[Gee Wally]

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Hopefully Smith is just day to day and nothing serious. Kuhlman can step in, he has done it before and knows his role.

I might be alone on this, but I would like to see Blidh in the line up, he can hit Komorov and Clutterbuck can draw penalties, stir the pot etc. I wouldnt want him on 2nd line of course, put him on 3rd or 4th line move some pieces around .

 

[13Hockey]

Sounds like Smith injury isn’t too bad if he’s questionable for game 2

 

[bardown23]

My guess is he reaggravated that lbi from earlier in the season

no thanks. Komarov and Clutterbuck were both useless. Komarov I’d say was a net negative for NY. Ignore them and let them stay invisible.

the beauty of having a Taylor Hall on that line is that Krejci and Hall have enough combined skill to carry a guy like Kuhlman. that wasn't always the case when it was say Debrusk on the left

 

[The don godfather]

Promote jake if smith can't go. Put seny on third.

and there's an extra day off between games 2/3. could see them sitting him out tomorrow
unless he's totally good to go.

They still dominated play even after we was out of the lineup so I don't see any need to rush him back at this point.

Yeah, being up 1-0 in the series gives us leeway to be conservative. If we were down 1-0 it's another conversation.

if we see Blidh in the playoff lineup it will be because the B`s are in a world of hurt in a series, absolutely no reason to bring him in now

Been told it's Smith's right knee. I can't for the life of me see how it could possibly be. Frame by frame it's hard to tell, but it looks like left knee to thigh area. But then again, if you watch Smith later, he was favoring the right side.

Is it a bone bruise type injury or something with the ligaments or soft tissue in/around the knee?

Could have more to do with where leg is planted on ice rather than direct contact to knee itself

 

[veganbruin]

They were showing a totally different incident from his last shift on NESN on a clip from JGP.

Thanks for this

 

[Blowfish]

Don't think bruins rush Smith back and with the next game Thursday ... let him heal properly. On the other hard Smith is a warrior and don't see anything keeping him out this game. We shall see.

 

[Ratty]

Good luck getting detailed information like that. For us dumb fans it's a "lower body injury".

It’s not for us and not for the Islanders to know either.

Thanks Dom!

Hope he's ok

 

[DarrenBanks56]

for Smith not to come back in a 2-2 game 1 you know it has to be a painful and pretty bad injury. The guy is a warrior.
