Injury Report: Chris Kelly - Broken left tibia

[smithformeragent]

O no problem.I was kind of surprised too.They never asked him nothing about is he trying get deal done or anything like that.Chia did say the hit on Kelly was a penalty but he did not see it as intentional.

Well Chia was an Ottawa guy, so he's probably friends with Neil too

haha .Thing that bothered me was how do you miss a check by that much? He should either hit him dead on or just clear out.

 

[Justin St Pierre]

If you've paid attention to any of the Julien era, you'd know MacDermid doesn't have a chance in hell of playing in this game.

Because he's the kind of guy who, as Jack Edwards might say, "you won't see do anything with a stick in his hands?" At least Pandolfo kills penalties, and since Kelly also does that, being able to put a PK guy in his place makes some sense.

I hope all is well with Kelly. Missed the game (although I think I'm listed as a referee in the box score).

 

[Bruins Stooge]

Right, we all know how Julien hates rookies. Look at how he ruined poor Seguin.

Rookie seguin is quite different from rookie macdermid, or rookie anyone from the past few years for that matter. Not saying OP is wrong, but claude does favor vet's quite often when it comes to the 12th forward, then a younger guy or rookie. Pandolfo is brutal, he can barely keep up skating, fell 4 times last game.

Pandolfo is still a better choice than Macdermid imo and he would be my choice too.

They are calling up Spooner as well.

i tried doing some research on the average recovery time for a broken tibia. Seems like an average person will take anywhere from 4-6 months to heal.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

How long does that injury usually take to heal?

Is there a chance he's done for the year?

 

[Bridges31]

Yeah he's done for the season IMO. Best case scenario he comes back for the playoffs

 

[Mione134]

Thought it was worse. Yikes.

Oh well, hopefully Spoons can wake this team up with some scoring.

Could be, depends.

Ference broke his and was gone two months.

That's a couple months easy. Add for conditioning. I'd say he's done.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Is this better news than if it where a acl or mcl tear ? I think it is. Still sucks.

 

[bp13]

He struggled early, but IMO this is a big loss. He's a solid, heady player. If they're without him for the playoffs this could hurt a lot.

 

[xLOCxDOGxJENK3NSx]

They are calling up Spooner as well.

Not official yet. Well wait and see

 

[Fire Sweeney]

The bad news is that Chiarelli will pull the "we expect Kelly to fully recover for the playoffs" excuse when he gets grilled for not moving.

 

[Neely08]

Is this better news than if it where a acl or mcl tear ? I think it is. Still sucks.

Long term it is. Bones heal. Knees, well, we know all about knees.

bp is right, this is a big loss.

 

[Andrew83]

Hope Soderberg gets here soon.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Nathan Horton had a broken tibia in his last season with the Panthers. He was out 4-6 weeks

 

[BadBruins]

That sucks.

I know his situation is unique, but I wonder if Dom Moore is up for making his come back anytime soon.

 

[bolt thrower]

Get well Kelly, we need you.

 

[LouJersey]

Glad Neil didn't mean to hurt him..... We are going to miss Kelly in the play-offs,.,,BIG TIME.

 

[Esquire]

This hurts the PK. 6-8 weeks minimum plus time to get back in shape. Maybe he's back for the playoffs, maybe not. Big blow. They need to make a move now.
