I agree but they've been pretty honest about their evaluated stuff. Bergeron played pretty much right after they said.

Looks like typical recovery is 5-7 days depending on severity.
Pulmonary contusion - Wikipedia
Prognosis
Pulmonary contusion usually resolves itself[23] without causing permanent complications;[1] however it may also have long-term ill effects on respiratory function.[38][65] Most contusions resolve in five to seven days after the injury.[1] Signs detectable by radiography are usually gone within 10 days after the injury—when they are not, other conditions, such as pneumonia, are the likely cause.[27] Chronic lung disease correlates with the size of the contusion and can interfere with an individual's ability to return to work.[24] Fibrosis of the lungs can occur, resulting in dyspnea (shortness of breath), low blood oxygenation, and reduced functional residual capacity for as long as six years after the injury.[38] As late as four years post-injury, decreased functional residual capacity has been found in most pulmonary contusion patients studied.[43] During the six months after pulmonary contusion, up to 90% of people suffer difficulty breathing.[27][43] In some cases, dyspnea persists for an indefinite period.[7]Contusion can also permanently reduce the compliance of the lungs.[66]

I am not a doctor but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express where I realized that I have no clue what is going on with this player no matter what the team has told us.
I can't pay attention to what he is saying because of Alex Kraemer in the background.
I love that Backes is stepping up for teammates.
Those facial expressions of hers were distracting... I thought maybe she was having an actual thought...
Yes, from all indications Backes really beat the s*** out of Ferlands FIST with his face!
While right now he fills a need, I wouldn't be thinking about extending beyond this season if I'm the B's.

Anyone know how badly that badass Mojo hurt Ferland? Haven't heard anything about him, and he left the game early too.
Ferland is a UFA after this season and only making $1,750,000. I really wouldn't mind him as a free agent signing for the Bruins. He's going to be 27 in April which is in his prime.

You want to take a run at one of our skill guys? There will be consequences. Your fists will have to meet the fury of David Backes’ forehead

Obviously it's not good news but this news was better than a concussion, which was a major concern here.
Glad he is not injured as badly as I feared. Rest up and
Cute.
*You* do it when no one else can (or will).
Maybe a chat with Don Sweeney is in order. Or Cam Neely.
If Brad effing Marchand was handling "fights" earlier this year -- and he was -- while David Backes at this stage in his career is stepping up to protect teammates, perhaps there is a problem.
Easy dismissal of David Backes. Really?
B*tch to Sweeney.

We need him in playoffs period. Goals are hard to find at that time . No rush until then. Marcus you have a 3 week holiday if you need it.

That's his game though - its like thinking Backes with his injuries shouldn't be looking to stand up for his teammates.
If it's just the bruise, why wouldn't he be ready when it heals?

I’ve had it, it feels like pneumonia without the tiredness. The lung has a hard time expanding but he should be good to go in a couple weeks. Maybe hace to wear a flak jacket tho. It’s a real concern come playoff time because there is constant hitting and I’m not sure if it’s easily irritated.

Let's face it were lucky guys very lucky. Marcus gives us a 2nd line with more firepower.

We're not apart of the team so no, guy. We're not lucky. Johansson is lucky and the team is lucky.

Team has points in 17 straight (a chunk of those games without their best offensive player), the 2nd best record in the NHL, and of course you want to complain about Sweeney, Neely and the construct of the team.
Shocking.

Devils fan: that's too bad about MoJo injury, hopefully, he is back soon. I was so looking forward to seeing what he could do with a good consistent line.

Damn, man. You know what he means. I say "we" sometimes even though I can barely skate!

My opinion, based on no medical knowledge whatsoever, is that he shouldn’t be out “too long”. But yeah, I don’t know anything so...take that for what it is worth.
Was happy to see the team come back the other night, but there was a clear void when he left the game. We were instantly back in pre-deadline “who’s going to score other than the top line” mode.

I don’t even know what you’re saying

why do people keep talking about this like he was looking for the hit? it was just a split second decision to step up on a guy who was trying to make a play on the puck
