Player Discussion Mark "Vigilante” Borowiecki

[slamigo]

I would keep Boro on a 3 year deal and transition him to player development (either in the 3rd year or immediately after).

Boro/Demelo is this generation's Chara/Redden.

Congratulations Boro-Dad!

Congratulations to the Borowiecki family.

They mentioned it a few times on the radio, jokingly, about how Mark might have to leave mid-game if he gets a call about his wife going into labour.

And there's of course the Vancouver robbery that BoroCop stopped while holding a bag full of baby supplies in one hand.

Boro's done well for himself.

INJURY UPDATE - going home for a while to be with his newborn. 3-4 weeks maybe.

Hometown discount pending.

Mark Borowiecki was injured as the play developed as he collided near the Senators bench and hobbled off the ice.

Smith said there was no fracture, but that Borowiecki would likely be "out some time." The team expects to have a better idea Friday of what they’re dealing with

High ankle sprain. I'd be surprised if he plays again this year.

I always thought Boro seems to exaggerate his injuries. So maybe not as bad as it looked. I think he is back for a few.

High ankle sprain. I'd be surprised if he plays again this year.

Usually 4-6 weeks, and with him being a UFA at year end I'd say he definitely plays again this year (unless the Sens offer an acceptable extension to him but I doubt that)

Oof.. even if it's a mild sprain this probably kills off any likelihood of a trade (assuming Dorion was even open to that). Oh well, at least he can spend more time with his new kid.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Did they confirm a high ankle sprain, or is that our best guess?

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Why though? No point in playing if the Sens sign him and if they don't why would he want to risk his ankle for his new potential employer and playing like garbage? There's literally no upside to playing again unless he can suite up for a playoff team which is basically an impossibility at this point.

Not confirmed but suspected.

Ottawa Senators Mark Borowiecki out for 'some time' - TSN.ca

Probably pending a MRI today.

 

[Qward]

If I call in sick, they cant fire me!

Dang it. Was really hoping he gets traded. No chance of that now.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Was just listening to NHL radio on the way into work.

Leafs would have loved to get Boro, pre-injury. Looking at bringing Hainsey back now.

To show he's recovered from the injury for other potential teams? He's also not the type of guy to just sit out if he's healthy enough to play.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

If it is a high ankle sprain, it'll take months to fully recover. He could potentially play on it some time towards the end of the year but he won't have full function or be free of pain. Think of Kyle Turris a few years ago. He won't help his cause playing through it. Best to just recover and let the doctors assess him in the summer.

 

[Spartachat]

I have a feeling Pageau will be injured in the next two weeks. The hockey God's way of punishing Dorion.

Trading Hainsey to the Leafs would be so great on so many levels....

 

[Agent Zub]

It's hilarious that this injury is the best thing that could happen for his career.

If he had gotten traded he would have joined a good team where he most likely gets bounced around as a healthy scratch and ultimately gets taken over by a young player and is soon out of the league.


Over here though, he's a core player, can be the worst player on the roster but is still a regular. Given a letter and is a contender for the captaincy. A fan favourite among some locals.

Boro has found a niche here that he does not have on any other team in the league.
