Injury Report: Bruins Injury Thread

[Glove Malfunction]

Any word on Kevan Miller?

Fluto tweeted that Sweeney reported that Kevan Miller could miss an extended period of time.





Anyone know what's up that would cause an extended period of missed time? Last I heard, he had a bruise from a blocked shot.

I guess there's no chance he plays opening night in Columbus Thursday night??? I doubt management will allow it. They're pretty strict on players who had concussions no matter how mild they claim they were.. Czarnik could play Thursday and easily get banged up again and maybe miss substancial time.

I thought the NHL had a protocol that the player had to sit a week automatically. I'm probably wrong though.

Must've been something at practice yesterday. Hopefully it's not a groin or something. If he isn't flying with team to Columbus.... what are the chances he rejoins them on the trip?

Pissed to hear that Bergeron will miss the opener. Natrually, I look at the fact that he just participated in the WCOH and draw some connection - whether or not that was the cause of his injury, I still don't like the timing of the tournament.

The Bergeron injury is concerning but I feel good at least that Backes can step right in.

Great minds Midship, great minds....

well considering matt duchene played through a shoulder injury, anything is possible.

That seems kind of silly. That's a totally arbitrary amount of time with I would assume no science behind it. There's been some work done recently that says that activity may help concussions, so Czarnik skating is a good sign. We'll see if he suits up on Thursday.

That's not looking too good. That's a hell of a "practice" injury.

What happened to Rask?

What happened to Rask?

Have not read that anything happened to him. Maybe, I guess. I figured the coach wanted to get an early look at Khudobin.

 

[Gee Wally]

TORONTO — Anton Khudobin was in net and took the 4-1 loss Saturday night at the Air Canada Centre. His backup, Tuukka Rask, was on the shelf with an injury, something the club didn’t make public until after the game.

“Tuukka was a little bit sore and Khudobin was scheduled to play one of the three games,’’ said coach Claude Julien, noting a three-game road trip that wraps up Monday in Winnipeg. “We felt it was the right decision to play [Khudobin] tonight.’’

Yes, "dreamy" was not my reaction to seeing a picture of Bergeron in an ankle boot. But I would dare to guess there are some female Bruins fans (me, for one) who are more concerned with the injury than his looks.

That does not look encouraging to see Bergy in an ankle boot. Looks like more than the official "day to day" that the team has said. Hope it is not as bad as it looks.

Not this fangirl.
Billy Jaffe didn't sound terribly positive when he was trying to vaguely talk to Dale about Bergy's injury last night. Nothing specific, but that's the vibe I got.

 

[Bruinaura]

Update from the Bruins: Bergeron skating in Boston, not ruled out for tomorrow. Backes ok, optimistic on Rask.

Much as they need Bergeron, I'd say let him stay home and be good to go Thursday.

I would hope that the medical staff will clear Bergeron only if he is able to play without risking further injury to the ankle. The Bruins have missed the playoffs by 1 and 2 points in the last couple of seasons so every game and point is important to this team. Bergeron in the line up makes them a better team so I say send him to Winnipeg and let him play if he is cleared to play.

Me too. He is too important to rush back. B's need Bergy 100 %
