That's a lot of surgery for a guy his age. Hope it all holds up!
The groin and abdominal stuff is concerning. All the more impressive he pumped in 29 last season, all while never looking like himself for more than a couple weeks at a time.

Testament to his talent but talent will never stand the test of time.
Enjoy Brad while he’s in a bruins uni good or bad because he won’t be there much longer

He has been through a lot the last couple of years or so, with the hip surgeries in 2022 and now this. I wish him the very best, but it might be time retire.
Just my opinion, I am not a professional athlete, but I have had my share of surgeries and health problems. I wouldn't blame him one bit.

Depends what youre defining the test of time as, because I'd say he has held up shockingly well for his size

The sentiment is simply that all players eventually wear down and lose their abilities, much like your neck and back every time you sleep on your couch, I’m sure at one point you had the talent to do it, but not anymore

I think it’s going to help a LOT having a team around him that doesn’t require him to be the enforcer.
Today’s Globe:
Marchand was reduced to spectator status at the golf tourney, the elbow he had surgically repaired preventing him from swinging a club just yet.
“I tried,” he said. “I’ve been trying to push it, but [the medical staff] didn’t allow that to happen, which is probably good. A lot of people will be safe because I’m not hitting at them today.”
Marchand, who also had groin and sports hernia procedures, reiterated that his goal is to be ready for the start of camp or shortly thereafter.
Marchand, 36, said he’d be “very surprised” if he wasn’t ready for the season opener Oct. 8 against the Panthers in Sunrise, Fla.
“I think the concern coming back was my arm and kind of how long that would take,” he said. “But I’m right there. I’m shooting and passing, and I got to skate with the guys today for the first time.
“So yeah, it’s been really good so far. I’m still going to have a little bit of time to have to catch up. Conditioning-wise, it takes a little bit longer to come back, but all in all, I’m happy with where I’m at.”
“I mean I can’t [know] until I get into a battle situation where I can really test it,” he said. “But with how it’s progressing, I should be fine for the season.”

Brad has said many things throughout his tenure, especially recently, that he intends to play for as long as humanly possible.
Wouldn’t be surprised for him to continue playing even with a potential huge drop in effectivness over the next however many years. Hockey is his first and true love…no offense to his family.

Ugh on Jones. That has been the main problem with him throughout his career and I hope this isn't a harbinger of things to come.
Today’s Globe:
Cautious approach
Justin Brazeau, who scored his first preseason goal in Tuesday’s win over the Capitals, was given a maintenance day, according to Montgomery. Elias Lindholm and Max Jones also remained out, but Montgomery gave a positive prognosis on the health of his team. “We have some guys as this camp’s gone on getting little tweaks and pretty much everybody that you could ask for right now, there’s nothing serious,” said the coach. “It’s just a little bit of time and we’re being a little bit cautious. We hope to get a couple of guys back hopefully by Saturday, but next week everybody that hasn’t been part of practice will be back for sure.”
Globe:
Matt Poitras, leveled by stout Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen in the final seconds of regulation Saturday, remained sidelined and “day to day,” said Montgomery.
Poitras was caught unaware by Ristolainen, who decked him with a big, clean hit directly to the front of Poitras’s right shoulder — the one that required season-ending surgery at the start of February last season.
Postgame, a smiling Poitras said the shoulder was fine and blamed himself for not being more alert about Ristolainen’s presence. He had only himself to blame for making himself such easy prey.
Montgomery said he has repeatedly reminded Poitras of taking better account of on-ice circumstances, finding ways to avoid unnecessary big hits.

Clean hit My Ass! It's a cheapshot, clear and simple! Closing seconds of a preseason game or regular season game, it's still a cheap shot!.

So hitting isn’t allowed in the closing seconds of a period,I must have missed that memo,in the 50 plus years I have been watching hockey.
It was the final buzzer of a preseason game. It was clearly a cheap shot. Is it allowed, yes, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a cheap shot.

Not sure who made the hit ,but players if trying to make the team will do what they can to make an impression in exhibition games.
Not if you are wearing a Bruin uniform, its all flowers and roses to the opposition.
Remember a preseason game don't matter
