Injury Report: K.Miller - Out indefinitely

[BklyNBruiN]

You said it, GW.

I saw it also when he skated off the ice holding his arm and had that painful grim on his face. I pretty much knew right there it was serious tho I hoped it wasn't.

This sucks

 

[Greek_physique]

Sucks for Miller, and not to be cruel, but he was playing pretty poorly this season. It's not like Bart of any other replacement would be a huge drop off. If anything, it may improve the level of play back there.

I agree, Miller hasn't been as strong.....but at least you knew you had toughness on the back end if needed. With Lucic, IMO, still not able to fight, teams can take liberty with our guys.

Yeah, that's the area where he'll actually be missed, since he was always willing...

 

[Bad Puck Bounce]

Please call up Trotman or Morrow. I don't have any confidence in Bartkowski at this point and I don't think he does either.

This could force Chiarelli's hand in trading for a defenseman.

 

[JRull86]

The fact that they say "dislocated shoulder" instead of "upper body injury" is now making me think that it's going to be on the order of months, and not days, before we get him back....

Depends on the severity of it.

If there's tissue or nerve damage, which is entirely possible, it'll be a few months.

 

[BMC]

I'll bite- who do the Bruins give up to get him?

I agree. If it wasn't that serious they'd just call it UBI and let it go at that.

God help this team if Miller ends up needing surgery on it....

Make it stahp. This isn't your father's NHL, the league has gone "soft" or whatever you guys want to call it, the teams the Bruins play against don't have the personnel to take liberty with and bully the Bruins.

Colborne - Monahan - Hudler
Glencross - Stajan - Setoguchi
Gaudreau - Backlund - Raymond
Bollig - Byron - Bouma

Brodie - Giordano
Russell - Wideman
Smid - Diaz

Hiller

That's the vaunted Calgary Flames roster from last night. The Bruins are soft crowd uses them as an example of a squad that is still tough and could bully the Bruins. Look how "soft" that line up is! Gaudreau-Backlund-Raymond could get beat up by a high school girls team in a brawl.

Brandon Gormley

 

[Bad Puck Bounce]

They need young centers on ELC's. They don't have much cap room or many young players that can fill that roll. I think someone said Gormley and a second for Morrow and Donato.

I'll bite- who do the Bruins give up to get him?

I suggested Spooner+Morrow in the other thread.

Probably an overpayment as some suggested, but it's not like dealing Spooner is something from strength right now. Other team has all the leverage since it doesn't look like the B's have him in their plans. Morrow is a really good prospect IMO, but I would take Gormley easily, especially given where both are in their respective development stages. Would have no problem bringing Gormley to the big show right now...where as Morrow, I hesitate.

 

[bruinsfan46]

Something around Spooner and picks for Gormley would be ideal methinks.

 

[Seidenbergy]

I agree, Miller hasn't been as strong.....but at least you knew you had toughness on the back end if needed. With Lucic, IMO, still not able to fight, teams can take liberty with our guys.

Teams were taking liberties when Looch, Thorton, Mcquaid, Chara and Ference were all in their fighting prime.....why should this year be any different?

 

[LouJersey]

Gormley can't beat out Michael Stone or David Schlemko...

 

[member 96824]

Gormley can't beat out Michael Stone or David Schlemko...

Numbers game.

Yotes fans say he definitely beat them out, but Gormley is waiver exempt. They also don't want him playing on his off hand, and have Yandle and OEL top 4 on that side, with Summers needing waivers on the bottom pair.

A lot

If you look at that team on paper, yes, they aren't tough....but at the same time, Burkie built that team on speed.

Boston isn't exactly built on speed.........where are supposed to be a tough team to play against. I just don't see that right now.

 

[BklyNBruiN]

Isn't life amazing, just ups and downs.. Here they go and trade Boychuck,and not what 7 games into the season we lose K Miller with a dislocated shoulder.. Just great wow.. errrrrrrrr

 

[EverettMike]

Who called it live? I think Mike said he thought it was a shoulder.

Regardless, this sucks.

Yup. I have lots of personal experience with dislocated shoulders and the scars to prove it.

 

[LSCII]

This could force Chiarelli's hand in trading for a defenseman.

With his recent trade record, and their suspect pro scouting, do you feel comfortable with him pulling the trigger on any deal right now?

 

[kutskova]

You mean dave semenko? ah those were the days. Also morrow deserves a shot before packaging him up. His improved in providence.

 

[bruinsfan46]

Gormley can't beat out Michael Stone or David Schlemko...

Tippett is a very good systems coach but he doesn't trust young players (and it's not a myth like it is with Julien). Kyle Turris couldn't play for him, Kyle can play pretty well for most of the other 29 NHL coaches. And waiver exempt status comes into play.

I agree- Gormley is left shot and Chara and Seids are not getting any younger. Still think he is going to be a really good top 2-3. Do it Chia

 

[EverettMike]

Very very worrisome they are saying dislocated and not separated.
