Injury Report: Marchand, Pastrnak, McAvoy Undergo Surgery

[Spooner st]

This might be a glass half full viewpoint for the Bruins, yikes!

This might be an ostrich point of view.

Yikes!

 

[member 96824]

Well, that's just great. You hear that, Ed? Bears. Now you're putting the whole station in jeopardy

 

[LSCII]

Don't know about you guys but this news really puts a different spin on cassidy's criticisms about pasta at the end of the season, no? So uh, he wasn't fit enough for your liking while playing on one leg?

 

[Emerz]

That’s a star studded surgery lineup.

 

[Therick67]

Trades are hard.

feels like they always want to play it safe and make low risk deals. Sometimes you have to go for it, especially considering the draft and develop plan doesn't seem to be going all that well...

 

[bp13]

Ritchie didn’t get liposuction? WTF? A little effort would be nice Nick!

 

[MattFromFranklin]

Maybe we don't need a 2021 season after all...

Nah, we need the season so Sweeney and Neely can get canned and the franchise can properly re-tool/rebuild with competent people making the trades, draft picks, and free agent signing.

 

[13Hockey]

In 18-19

the bruins went

13-3-0 without pasta

they can survive a long stretch without him

Marchand won’t miss much time at all

 

[Jdavidev]

I get that he probably doesn't want to miss half to three quarters of a season but I say now is the time- for all anyone knows there might not even be a 2021-22 season never mind a shortened one. Get it done now before the injury worsens to the point where it shortens or even ends his career.

It's getting very Chris Sale at this point, pushing through an injury for years, struggling to be healthy/strong at the end, when the surgery is ultimately needed anyways.

Didn't he get hurt in the Tampa series? was the criticism before or after that?

 

[BruinsBtn]

So if we start Jan 1

63 probably misses 6-8 games
88 probably misses 20-25 games

They're never out as long as the prognosis. Marchand will be ready for the season and Pasta won't be far behind.

Thats where i'm at.

 

[LSCII]

After. Called out pasta and kase for fitness levels and not being there for the team. Rings hollow when you hear he's had surgery on his hip tho.

 

[Bruinaura]

Bergeron has had at least two surgeries and it hasn't corrected the problem. I suspect if the doctors thought it would help, he'd have another one, but maybe they've said that wouldn't solve the problem?

I still think a high volume of faceoffs and chronic groin problems are a bad combination. Then again, I'm not a doctor (but I do play one on HFBruins)

Bruins Issue Update On Offseason Surgeries

Brad Marchand underwent a sports hernia repair, performed by Dr. Brian Busconi and Dr. Demetrius Litwin at the UMass Memorial Medical Center, on September 14. The surgery was successful, rehabilitation has gone well, and he is on target to make a full recovery in approximately four months from the date of procedure.

David Pastrnak underwent a right hip arthroscopy and labral repair, performed by Dr. Bryan Kelly at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, on September 16. The surgery was successful, rehabilitation has gone well, and he is on target to make a full recovery in approximately five months from the date of procedure.

Charlie McAvoy underwent a right knee arthroscopy, performed by Dr. Peter Asnis at Massachusetts General Hospital, on September 8. The surgery was successful, and he has been cleared to resume normal offseason activities and will be fully available for the start of next season.

sooo lol

unless season start is projected to be after Feb

The lineup configuration (at the beginning of next season could be....)

Bjork Bergeron Stud
Debrusk Krejci Kase
Frederic Coyle Smith
Wagner Kuraly Senyshyn

Grz Carlo
Vaaka Miller
Lauzon Clifton
Zboril

 

[LSCII]

Ritchie didn’t get liposuction? WTF? A little effort would be nice Nick!

Guy's off season training program consists of double quarter pounders and a large shake to wash it down. He's a physical specimen...

Ugh

this time there is no choice

Bruce Cassidy needs to be more patient. One mistake and he sends them down to detention (end of the bench)

No seny. God no seny. 8-10 forwards down there I’d rather see

 

[sarge88]

Craig Smith is now a first line wing. God just please blow it up. These injuries are brutal

Do you understand how insane it would be to “blow it up” at this particular point in time, for so many reasons?

1. They are a player or two away from legit cup contention.

2. Nobody knows the full extent of Covid in regard to how other teams will operate and what kind of team they will ice.

3. See #2 but after the words “will operate” put in “in regard to which players will become available”.

4. Given the economic uncertainty right now, who is going to take on the $6+ million salaries of the players we’d move out to facilitate this mythical re-build? Would the Rangers take Bergeron for Lafreniere? How about Pasta for McDavid? Marchand for McKinnon?

5. What % of time do you think “re-builds” work as planned?

Regardless of what you want people to believe, even with these injuries, the team as constituted is good for 90 points easy.

Every team has needs. This one has fewer than most.

 

[Smitty93]

Am I making it up, or did Sweeney, Cassidy, or somebody else basically say they didn't expect any surgeries this offseason? I feel like I distinctly remember reading that somewhere.

Ritchie better wake up

He saw what happened to his brother (dropped and not resigned). He needs to come next season in the best shape ever. He needs to also improve his skating. Straight line and in tight

What player or two can they currently get that would put them in contention?

The season probably starts in January so you're looking at starting the season without some key pieces. You have Krecji in his final year, Rask in his, and a couple other pieces that you can move. Keep Pasta and Marchand obviously.

The East has improved and 90 points is not a given. This team has real problems on the blue line and the 2nd line. It seems like you're operating under the assumption that the Bruins are the best or 2nd best team in the east still. That's far from the truth.

This team is now firmly on the treadmill. Especially if Pasta and McAvoy can't get back for the start of the season.

 

[BostonBruins11]

well there goes off season training
