GDT: Game 67 - BRUINS invade Windy City - 12:31 PM | NBC, TVAS. 98.5 WBZ-FM

No way no how.

Must have hurt himself putting his equipment on since Cassidy said same lineup

 

[UConn126]

Anxious to see what the lineup without Marchand. I remember Miller playing wing for a game or two in the past and didn't look out of place. Hopefully they knew about this injury yesterday and were about to grab somebody from Providence before they hit the road.

 

[mar2kbos]

was he in the warm up? Could have hurt himself then?

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Habs like move.

Are we seriously thinking the Bruins are afraid of the Blackhawks going after Brad? The Blackhawks?

 

[Ladyfan]

Marchy gets slashed, tripped and punched every game with no calls. He very well could have been hurt in that collision yesterday. I hope its nothing much and he rests up. Love that kid. He gives it all every game/ shift.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Heinen - Wingels - Gionta get the start.

Maybe they're going with Schaller - Nash - Pastrnak at least for the beginning of the game?

Big picture, Its politics if you want to believe he's not tweaked

Self preservation against possible retaliation. Brilliant move.

 

[caz16]

Let's Go Bruins!! Any points today will be great!

 

[TCB]

Habs like move.

How can you say that with out knowing what the circumstances are.?

I feel Cassidy and company no whats best for Marchand and if something small is bothering him in a pretty much meaningless game and 3rd game in 4 nights and a horrific schedule ahead, I salute them for sitting him!

This confirmed? Please stop.

Marchy is a fierce competitor and is not one who plays scared. It's hard for me to believe he would be kept out unless there is something wrong with him. The Bs would have called someone up if they knew he would be out, especially given all the players out as is. Players finish games all the time when hurt and want to be in the next game then realize they cannot. Brad's tough as nails, so my guess is that he wanted to go but whatever he hurt yesterday tightened up/was too sore for today and he realized he couldn't go during warmups.

Also Brad would NOT want to sit out if he wasn't hurting. He doesn't seem to fear anyone.

Not going with that theory in the least. NHL made a call, sit him or we will suspend him. As nuts as that sounds this is more probable than the Bruins are afraid of retaliation.

Concussion maybe, and symptoms just didn't show up until now?

Hope it's nothing major and they're just resting him on a back to back as a precaution.

I'm not buying either scenario. They would have called someone up

 

[LouJersey]

This confirmed? Please stop.

So why not call someone up overnight?

Why have your coach say same lineup an hour ago?

Like I said either got hurt prepping for the game or the Bruins are sitting him because some of the Hawks supposedly have said it was a dirty play and they don't want to have Marchand do something stupid.

 

[N o o d l e s]

f***ing stupid we play Chicago on a back go back. End of year schedule makes no sense. Panthers 4 times? I’ll end this rant cause that’s not the point.

I’m on board with sitting Brad. We’re getting near the end of the season and have a lot of injuries anyway plus the schedule is packed. Then throw in playing the same team less that’s 24 hours apart? All good

 

[LouJersey]

This confirmed? Please stop.

Purely speculating and we will only get the injury reason.

If true,the NHL could care less about the Bruins being shorthanded today.

 

[TP]

what the hell?

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

If true,the NHL could care less about the Bruins being shorthanded today.

If that was the case then the B's would have a major grievance to take up with the NHL. I doubt they'd sit quietly and just accept that kind of BS

 

[BMC]

It warms my heart that you see the hit as not intentional

Hey truth is truth. Yes I don't like #63. No his collision with Duclair was not deliberate.

 

[Bruinaura]

All those who could have foreseen in October this being our starting lineup in March, raise your hand

It better not be.
