I would wager the medical staff has close to 0 motivation to let him play early... liability
Back spasms. He has been seen walking gingerly according to media members in the locker room.
Gotta feel for the guy. He has to be miserable not being able to play. Such a freak injury.

taking a break
wonder what the trigger was to cause it. We are really missing how he rounds out the lineup and fits on that 3rd line right now. having to call up kids for the AHL is not how you win.
Got hurt in the later part of the 2nd period in Minnesota at the beginning of April. Who knows how. You can toss your back out sneezing so your guess is as good as mine.

taking a break
i know all about that. I broke my back before and now I could play a full contact football game and be fine then throw out my back getting a drink of water when the game is over.
Also-pretty sure(I suspected for a few games now and reporters have also tweeted the speculation) that Krecji is nursing a back or leg injury. His hands and skating haven't been as magical as usual though he did have some good moments last night.

The Excellence of Execution
Any word on Chris Kelly? I know Fraser has been fine on the 3rd line but would love to have the Cage-y (see what I did there) vet back there to help with the PK and on defense.

Speaking from experience, of the various surgeries I've had, back surgery was the easiest. The preceding pain was unreal, the relief was immediate. I think there was a telecast where Brick actually mentioned this exact thing and qualified it by saying that the pain relief doesn't mean one is ready to step on the ice and compete. I don't know if they were talking about Kelly or someone else.
They said it is his L5 disk. His quote I saw on twitter was "It was the worst pain I've had in my life"
Get well soon Cage!

Not sure of the truth to it but I heard that Fraser fractured his foot in the first game of the Providence playoffs. I'd have never guessed by watching him, he was one of the few players who I didn't have any complaints about.

Fraser broke his foot in Game 1 of the AHL playoffs. It became displaced while playing for Boston in the playoffs.

Wally, thought I read/heard rumblings that Iggy was still fighting through ankle issues going back to his scrap against Rinaldo I think it was?? Any confirmation?

Some updates. Including Looch has something wrong with a wrist.

Took the red pill
Left wrist, per Bruins tweet. He and Kelly both had surgery. Both expected to be OK for camp.

wonder what the rule is about buyouts and injuries. does Kelly need to be healed from surgery in order to be bought out? I think they can trade him, but was wondering if that became an option.
