Injury Report: Dermott Shoulder Injury - Babcock plans back Saturday in Ottawa

[TheBeastCoast]

McQuaid would be useless against Tampa but he would be the difference maker vs Boston.

Yes Adam McQuaid would be the difference between winning and losing a 7 game series against Boston.

 

[ToneDog]

Hes not the same, but hes still better then McQuaid.

Debatable but no debating we could use a physical dman in front of our Freddy. No sense in debating now, as it is all hands on deck. Hopefully Freddy can mask our defensive shortcomings.

If McQuaid is on the ice with 2 minutes left, your team stinks.

With Rielly and Gards on ice with 2 minutes left against Boston it is a virtual lock Bruins score to tie in up.

With McQuaid on the ice at any point its a virtual lock the Bruins score.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

You are being argumentative. I base my points entirely on facts. McQuaid has never given up a playoff goal in last 2 minutes ever to tie or lose a game. And he has won a Cup. He knows how to do it. He has those skill sets.

Gards has lost a couple. Rielly has never had the chance yet.

Give it a few minutes and it'll move on to Brown and Babcock.

If only a taser could be used through the internet! Zap everyone into thread topic compliance!

I hope Dermott is starting to feel better too!

the difference in that game would've been Jake not getting 3 primary apples on Boston goals

Babcock mentions both guys

 

[I Believe]

We acquired Muzzin, he's better then McQuaid in every way.

 

[Once]

I was on board for acquiring McQuaid based on his physicality and RHD....and a fellow east coaster. But he is in no way a 'game changer' for a series with the Bruins. If anything, he would be a liability against his former homegrown club.

Regarding Dermott, is the type of injury known? Dislocated shoulder, broken clavicle?

Hasn't he been a healthy scratch?

Good lord that man is in great shape for his age.

Definitely has some good genes, look at his hair. I'm sure getting paid $8 million a year helps too

doesnt even play much for cbj.

 

[justafan22]

He's already skating, wouldn't be shocked to see him back in 2 weeks.

He is not an everyday player anymore. I would not dress him against Tampa. It would be a bad match. But against Boston's 2nd, 3rd and 4th lines he knows exactly how to handle them. 2 completely different teams to match up against. They each play completely different games with completely different personnel. The Bruins play a traditional half ice 5 man small ice game with a hard forecheck and a centre high neutral zone trap. This is exactly perfect for McQuaid's style. Puck gets shot into corner or behind net. He absorbs the hit, controls the attacker and uses his feet to move puck to centre for support. We move out perfectly. In a free flow game like against Boston's line 1 he is too slow much like Hainsey. Much like Tampa does against Boston with Coburn. It works perfect virtually every time.

Get better soon

What are timelines on Dermott and Gards coming back?

What are timelines on Dermott and Gards coming back?

No timeline for Gardiner. Depends if he requires surgery or not.

Dermott should be back by late March/early April at the earliest.

How do you have surgery for spasms? Just start shooting him up and get him back in.

It's the same injury Parise had apparently. I don't know.

This isn't communist Russia.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Oh good cause I thought I heard someone say he had a bulging disk. That is painful. and takes time but most of time it goes back in place on its own with therapy.

I would think with spasms they would shoot him up so he does not feel the pain on the ice.

I had a back bruise once for a couple weeks after hit by a puck in small of back and I could not get comfortable in any position.
