Injury Report: K.Miller - Out indefinitely

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Gormley is a legit high end prospect rated Arizona best prospect defensively- Boston should get moist at the thought of having this young left shot defenseman to go with Dougie Hamilton. With 46 and 37 looked up until Judgement Day and Soderberg behind the scenes telling people he wants to stay here long term Koko is a luxury.

Koko wouldn't even get it done. They also have a Koko in Max Domi.

I am super high on Koko but guys like Gormley you have to take a serious look at

Spooner + a pick is something I'd absolutely do as well. Not sure if it's a true Boychuk replacement for the NOW but it's a definite upgrade over what we have NOW after that trade. I think we will regret moving Spooner, but but if it's for a young star like Gormley as opposed to trading Spooner to NJ for Ryder at the deadline.

I'd rather Connor Murphy TBH...

One of the issues is that even an MRI might not show the extent of the damage. He might sit out for a month or two, show no improvement, and then they decide they need to open him up.

And even then, what they find when they get in there could be worse than expected.

A dislocated shoulder is ****ing devastating.

Hmmmmmm

Conditioning. Gotta be.

I would give them Spooner + a 3rd for him in the blink of an eye.

Tuukka called it first -

When Miller left the ice he passed Rask... You could clearly see Tuukka shaking his head telling another Bruin "shoulder".

Ya sure? There's a rumor that someone said "Hey Tuuk, what do you do when you see the Canadiens coming down ice?"

Tuuka replied "shudder."

I guess we'll never know.

Again, this is a reason why you dont dump Boychuck for ***** and giggles.

Pretty much.

This really sucks.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Gormley or Gudbranson

Hmmmmmm

No way. He's going to Hershey for conditioning, and in the next two weeks he'll be back with the Caps. Wishful thinking though. I'd kill to have him on this team.

If we can't get Gorm, I'll settle with Justin Braun (my binky).

And even worse, if he has any torn ligaments/muscle/tendons in there that they don't know about (yet) then he is done for the season. Dislocated shoulders are brutal, since there so damn unpredictable.

This is definitely true.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

Dang. Big opportunity for Bart.

You know it's a bad move when even Wally makes posts like this

Good stuff Chia, A+ work

 

[NightmanCometh]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it yet but Rask totally called this one. As Miller was coming off the ice Rask made a shrug/shoulder reference to somebody on the ice, like "oh yeah his shoulder is ****ed".

Sucks for Miller... guy was doing one of the things he does best, and ends up with a long-term injury. Still... Morrow should be given a shot, imo. The kid is actually a decent prospect and there's always a chance he could end up surprising us (kind of like Miller did himself).

And that's not even wishful thinking or anything

I had an MRI that missed everything.

"Slight separation."

Surgeon got in there arthroscopicly and woke me up, "Signs of at least four full dislocations."

Had to cut me open. Had the other one done ten months later.

Edmonton stinks again; perhaps we could kick the tires on Andrew Fernence, knows the system and team, and would provide us with a solid top 4 guy. Maybe he and Hendricks for some lower level prospects/picks.

Andrew Ference is not a top 4 defenseman.

Sorry. Totally uncalled for, and not remotely true.

Sorry. Totally uncalled for, and not remotely true.

And totally not funny.

Every indication as far as playing hockey goes is that Matt Bartkowski is a far superior NHL hockey player than Kevan Miller so I think Boston will be OK. Miller wins the popularity contest because of HITZ and FIGHTZ but Bart plays the game better. Kinda funny a fight is how he got hurt.

How can you possibly think that?

Once again I'll point out Miller has not been on the ice for a goal allowed this season.

That said, now Seids can play Seids' side. And Bartkowski seems to play better when he doesn't think he has to win a job. Could be a blessing in disguise. (or not)

That Boychuck deal is looking better and better.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

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.

Miller +4
Krug (Miller's Partner) +3
Chara -1
Hamilton -1
McQuaid -1
Seidenberg -2
Bartkowski -2

The good news about trading Boychuk: Now you are enough under the cap that you can call up Trotman or Warsofsky to replace Miller.

You are all haters.... Chia was thinking ahead. Y'all need to be more of a pie in the sky optimist like me.

Waiting for someone in this case to say, "It is a little unfair to bash Chiarelli for an injury when no one can predict injuries."

I will end up in jail for sure.
