wow he confirmed Kampfer is hurt and had surgery, but refused to comment on the rumored KHL signing. Seemed like he's annoyed by the situation.

Also when asked said Kase is done for the rest of the playoffs and that they "shut it down" for him. Here's hoping he didn't get another concussion and just had symptoms after playing so they're being extra cautious.

Lauzon and Zboril back for Round 2 is huge

We where 1 injury away from Vaakanien or Wolff playing a game vs Washington

 

[The National]

Take that victory lap Donny. Also I will be happy when these awkward zoom press conferences come to an end. “Morning, Steve.”

 

[Dr Hook]

There we have it on Kase. It wasn't a "conditioning" issue apparently as he's shut it down and won't be back for the playoffs.

Did seem pretty short on that answer huh? Not sure how much to read into that but it’s definitely one of the more mysterious 1st round playoffs for a guy that hasn’t even played lol.

it's just really weird that they wouldn't announce his injury earlier if that was it for him.

 

[BruinsPortugal]

Good news on Lauzon.

 

[Dr Hook]

It gets less weird if you think about the timing- rumors that he signs with a KHL team and then all of a sudden he has apparently elective hand surgery and is unavailable. Or maybe it gets more weird when considering that?

 

[VanIsle]

Poor Kase I was really hoping for him to say healthy.

Lauzon has a hand injury that is just time to heal so hopefully he can be back soon.

Miller is a different story but he has a hard noggin so I would hope he will be back soon but you never know with the head injuries.

I am still pissed off about that Orlov hit and the total silence from Player Safety about it. What a joke. The kid may not be a generally dirty player, but in that case he left his feet and launched right into Miller's face. There was nothing incidental about it.

Don made it clear that Kampfer elected to have the hand surgery so that might explain the annoyance.

Yeah he did vibe that he was put out. I would speculate that the KHL thing and Kamp choosing surgery are connected - he wants to be 100% for next season- and if so, I can see why Don is aggravated.

Curious what that's all about. I mean it sounded like Kampfer/Bruins had a relatively good relationship.

Well I'm making it CLEAR to Don that I'm annoyed that we haven't signed Hall to a long term contract yet!! Do not let him leave Boston or you will be sleeping with the fishes!

 

[The don godfather]

Not worried back there. Why you ask ? Simple . In tinordi I trust.

 

[BMC]

I agree. If Miller can't come back Tinordi will take his spot and the team will not miss a beat.

They CAN'T sign him until after the Seattle expansion draft.

 

[smithformeragent]

@Fenway, thanks for all you do!

 

[whatsbruin]

That's no excuse, Sweeney duck. Jk, I've generally been a supporter of his.

personally i dont agree with anyone ever telling someone what they can and cant do with their body, contract or not. Should always be up to doctor and the patient.

 

[BruinsNetwork]

I thought the “You would have to ask him that, he’s under contract with us.” response to his rumored deal in the KHL was a bit…odd.

thats fine...team doesn't need him

thanks for his service for the 2nd time.. but for him, the KHL thing makes sense to secure his hockey future

Jack Eichel would agree with you........................but
