Injury Report: Bruins Injury Thread IV

Yeah, the latter is what makes this a no-brainer, even though I love Miller and his game. The Bruins have done such a great job at drafting and developing D, that it makes decisions regarding players like McQuaid or Miller alot easier than in past years (think of all the finger-crossing we were doing back then with the likes of Trotman, Morrow, Cross, Bartkowski, etc as the heir-apparents coming through Providence). If anything, now there is kind of a logjam at D, especially if Vaak (and maybe Clifton?) continue their trajectories.

I was listening to NHL radio today, and they talked at length about how good the Bruins D is.....without ever uttering the word "Chara." This has been a long time coming, IMO, and it feels good that it's finally being recognized.

Exactly right. Holding onto older players out of loyalty instead of letting the youth come up through the system is not how you sustain high level performances.

I mean, we have the best example in all of sports right here: Look at how Belichick handles players and look how well that's worked.

What’s the scoop with grizz& DK?

Does anyone else think Patrice Bergeron is hurt? We all know he’s built like the Terminator, but something has got to be very wrong. He ALWAYS plays better than this in the playoffs.

It looks to me like Bergy, Marchand, Pasta, Debrusk, Krej and more are all playing hurt or fatigued.

Well we saw the hit on Krejci - so he’s a little banged up. Marshy looks fine, so does deBrusk. I think bergy is ok . Pasta is definitely off. What bothers me the most about pasta is that he seems like he is mentally out of it

I find Debrusk to be a shell of his usual self. I am pretty confident he is nursing something significant.

Yep

This is my concern as well.

Yep

I would hope Pasta is injured. or we are gonna see this pathetic play from him every post season. If he isnt injured and he's playing like this, we are in trouble.

I would bet that he is injured...Bergy too.

I am cutting them some slack as they carried this team into the playoffs...wouldn't be here without that first line. It is nice to see others scoring at last.

Seems like the same story every year if true. We need some more resiliency with our top players. They always seem to end up injured when it matters.

Well it may be because the other teams are hitting them extra hard to prevent them from scoring.

So maybe we need to bring back some protection ala Shawn Thornton, looch etc

 

[Bumper]

gee... like... Kevan Miller?
