2019 Winter Classic GDT - GAME 40 - 1/1/19 1 PM - THE BEAR visits Our Lady of the Lake - NBC, SN, TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

Choosing to role with two 4th lines. Great!

To me, since the season started we have 1x 1st line, 1x 3rd like and 2x 4th lines... shuffle the players around as much as you like. We lack offensive depth/skill.
We don't lack forwards depth though, god we could roll 5x 4th lines.

So is Charlie still out with the blocking shot injury,or there was speculation of concussion symptoms again,has there been any updates about his injury? The kids seems to miss more than he plays,anymore.

 

[SoldiersOfFilth]

Rask is getting the start. Marchand GTD. McAvoy out.

Fun.

Am i the only one who's getting more and more concerned with McAvoy? The kid is missing a ton of time early in his career. He missed 19 games in his rookie season, and now has already missed 22 into his second season.

I'm just going to keep my head in the sand for another year on this subject before getting worried.

I just hope for his sake it isn't an issue with his heart.

I'm not trying to start a rumor or anything by saying that.

It is going to be a blessing for Bruins.He is going to get paid alot less and will get healthy and want to prove to everyone he is a top D man moving forward.I can see a bridge deal coming .Cassidy hinting today he could go Thursdsy.

I think it's just bad luck. The heart thing is just a freak thing and iirc it's a condition that is not recurring once corrected. The knee thing was another injury that can happen to anyone. If we take it at face value, the most recent one is from a puck to the leg/foot/whatever. run of the mill hockey stuff and Cassidy hasn't ruled him out for Thursday so it seems like it really is short-term.

Really the only worrisome thing is the concussion(s), but at this point the whole damn roster has a history.

Heart Condition- out of his control

Concussion - not sure could have been avoided

Latest injury- if I`m correct, came from a puck hitting him? Not sure I`d be worried about him being injury prone more than one with poor luck so far

Said "speculation" was really just one poster here who made the comment with absolutely nothing to back it up, no link to the supposed rumor and no response when called out on it. It was someone talking out their a**.

Whelp I guess I jinxed Chucky by buying his winter classic jersey. I have Krejci’s from Gillette which I think he didn’t play in either. Nonetheless the wife and I made it to South Bend. Anyone got any good recommendations for food/drinks?

Bridge means they pay way more later.

 

[CDJ]

Yeah I’m not gonna sit here and call a guy with a heart condition and a concussion “injury prone” or soft. It’s fair to question his heart but only in the literal sense, like “why couldn’t that heart function properly like most hearts for all of last year?.”

Only thing to be concerned about is the concussion, but I feel that way about every one of our players after they get a concussion

I got jinxed by ordering the Pasta one on Nhl.com the day they came out... and then having them cancel the order on me a month later just before Xmas with NO notification. Thankfully I could just go to the pro shop...but such amateur hour.

Yeah getting the same injury multiple times is a million times more concerning. But even then... remember Krejci's hip? Seems to be fine.

Yep, and I recall Ference seemingly out all the time with groin issues that he overcame eventually

I look/view injuries like those Matthews has suffered as being potentially long term problematic and a cause for concern more than McAvoy

 

[Bruinaura]

Someday, someone will ask these guys some original questions...

I too am worried. I hope he will be OK.

I am happy Tuukka is starting. I like Halak but Tuukka is supposed to be the#1.

I hope folks going have a good time.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

 

[Sheppy]

3-1 Bruins tomorrow by the way.

 

[compan]

If it isn’t a concussion, how bad is the damage from that blocked shot? He finished the game he took the shot did he not? I know adrenaline can do wonders, but this team is just so hush on it all.

 

[22Brad Park]

Perhaps ,but it will at least make everyone feel better about it by not doing it now.

Yeah some players have no luck with injuries. Hoping it’s just his first couple of seasons
