Injury Report: Bruins Injury Thread II

[Gargyn]

Boston needs to take out Tampa for the 1 seed. Give guys a bit more time. I can’t see New Jersey, Philadelphia or Florida beating even a battered Bruins squad. But I can see Toronto beating us. Come 2nd round would be great to have Nash, Backes, Debrusk, Bergeron, Pastrnak, Marchand, Krejci, Heinen and Donato form the top 9. With Chara, McAvoy, Grizz, Miller, Carlo and Krug form a healthy defence.

 

[Dizzay]

Few insiders on this board I believe right? Someone must be able to confirm/deny/comment on the Rick Nash stuff. Sweet baby jesus the suspense is killing me. We need 61 back in the line up.

 

[Blowfish]

Any word on Gryz?

 

[TCL40]

Any word on Gryz?

May not get word until tomorrow after morning skate.

Probably no practice planned today and media availability probably won’t either.

My prediction is he will be out with an upper body injury for at least a week.

Bruins Chara, McAvoy could return to play Thursday - The Boston Globe

WINNIPEG — Faced with a potential first-place showdown Thursday at TD Garden vs. Tampa Bay, the Bruins might have their No. 1 defensive tandem back together for the first time since March 3.

Team captain Zdeno Chara and rookie running mate Charlie McAvoy both are expected to participate in the day-of-game workout Thursday morning, and coach Bruce Cassidy said Tuesday it’s possible one or both will return to action that night.

“They are skating, so getting closer,” said Cassidy, who has been receiving daily updates on his injured charges during the four-game trip. “We’ll see where they’re at Thursday morning in the pregame skate, and like I’ve said, they are getting closer — whether it’s Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday, I don’t know.”

I can't remember the last time I've been so mad about a hit injuring one of our players.

That great news, with Gryz going down lastnite that just sucks when will this stop please Boston.

[Ladyfan]

Is it just me or is virtually every team taking liberties with this team trying to injure our players?? Is this their way of trying to bring them down to a level where they can beaten? If Morrisey isnt suspended for that, i dont know what to say?

I hear he gets nothing. If that had been Brad ...10 games.

I hope Grizz will be OK. Pisses me off

I do. Was Eriksson. Before that Bergy.

If Morrisey really gets nothing extra for his cheapshot then you can't deny the NHL treats Boston differently.

He gets nothing. The NHL is a joke. I am angry.

 

[Trap Jesus]

I can't remember a season that was this bad for injuries.

Pastrnak, Schaller and Kuraly as the only guys that haven't missed a game up front, Nash has missed 1, and Heinen has missed 5. Next healthiest? DeBrusk with 64 GP, and good luck getting another game in for him. Looks like Marchand will finish with the 6th most games played at 68 if he's able to stay in the line-up. Freaking Bergeron is probably going to be next best at 64.

On the back-end, Carlo has played all but 1, and then Krug is next up, who will hopefully finish with 6 games missed. It's dependent on Z, but you're looking at 68 games as the next best at the moment.

Its baffling at this point TBH. I really hope the home crowd can stretch the lungs with a "Player Safety" or "Parros" chant. Maybe we can borrow a page out of the NSH book and do a Parr-os, Parr-os, its all your fault type chant.

 

[mjhfb]

I don't want to get into a "big and heavy' or "tough guy" debate with their forwards, but you can't deny that teams are taking more liberties feeling confident there will be no repercussions.

I have been warned about speaking to the stripes as they walk by me. I will probably get tossed from the next game (tomorrow).

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Great sport being run by a bunch of dolts, dolts with built in biases IMO.

 

[Chief Nine]

I'm more bewildered than anything. (Don't get me wrong, I'm pissed off too) All we hear is that Gryz turned (including Andy Brickley) or generally "keep your head up". I'm not sure anymore what this has to do with a clearly predatory hit. The league is talking out both sides if its ass if they want everyone to believe that player safety is important then their own self-titled Department of Player Safety determines that it's the victim (yeah that's right word here) that's at fault because he turned.

How many more times does this need to happen before the NHL gets serious about these types of hits and applies consistency to judging whether the outcome is suspension worthy? Are they waiting until (God forbid) someone gets paralyzed and carted off on a stretcher?

LOL all I could think of was the scene from Mighty Ducks when the dude says "two minutes? well worth it" haha

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Its how the Pens won the cup last year. Led the league in injuries. Allowing others to step up and get their chance, gain experience for the playoffs. Which is what we are seeing from the Bruins right now.

If everyone gets healthy(like the Pens did) in time for the playoffs, the team is even more of a threat by having all of that depth, young guys who gained all of that experience.

It’s just the utter lack of consistency. The league has decided to take their own book and apply it how they see fit.

Do it up, Ladyfan! Maybe not tomorrow against Tampa, but maybe one of the Florida games.

If Bruins management is not going to stick up for their team or players, then the fans do. There is clear evidence of serious bias going on and someone needs to call them out for their WWE like tactics.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

NO ONE CAN BE RECALLED after the Clear Day roster exemption list is submitted by Providence to the AHL, and you're limited to 4 recalls in the month of March once that list is submitted, hence why you're not seeing Providence players being recalled as much, the roster contract limit is also lifted, hence why you're seeing the collegiate and junior players being signed to ELC's (Donato/Frederic)

Randy Motherf***ing Jones on Patrice Bergeron, 2003.
