They had an early date circled since not long after the surgery, kept it hidden and provided a false date to the media. This led people to believe the situation is worse than it is. Generally what teams do is just leave a big window if they're not sure.
This does not not say what you think it says. In terms of his recovery, Elliotte clearly says, twice "all the credit to Marchand". You are manufacturing motive, while making unsubstantiated indictments. Friedman's use of the term "dishonest" when generically describing how sports teams handle injury timeframes and disclosure was a poor choice of words and does NOT in any way suggest nefarious intent by the Bruins as you imply. He was merely implying standard practice. Surgeries result in PROJECTED TIMEFRAMES of absence. Marchand's surgery was 5/17. At that point in time the procedure was described to the public and a 6 month rehab timeframe was indicated. If you want to make a claim of whatever you'er claiming, top secret "circled dates" or whatever, then that would be the time to do so. We should have heard outcry about how overly conservative that timeframe was. But we didn't, because that point is ridiculous. NO ONE KNOWS. Of course estimates will be conservative.They had an early date circled since not long after the surgery, kept it hidden and provided a false date to the media.
