Injury Report: Bruins Injury Thread II

[Gordoff]

I look at it different, it’s all of that commotion that makes Marchand go. For his own mental health I hope that he can turn it off when away from the rink. However, when the puck drops I want him full tilt boogie. Once the playoffs start I want him to “let it go” and be his ratty, nasty awesome self.

Yeah and he'll last about 2 periods and get a 9 game suspension. I don't know the answer.

Not acquiring Paul Byron is going to be their downfall come playoff time. (Sarcasm)

lol I was referencing Spooner.

 

[JRull86]

Can we give the Spooner talk a freaking rest?

 

[DarrenBanks56]

any word on Riley or Rick playing this weekend??

 

[Tmac37]

I'd put Rick at 50 and Riley at 0 percent.

Been looking but haven't seen anything

They were talking about trying to get Rick into one of the weekend games. That was a few days ago, not sure if that's still the plan.

You might be right but look at the last few games Marchand has looked very passive and ineffective. Hopefully they’ll let him play his game come playoffs.

Just speculation but.....they call a lot less in the playoffs - perhaps he's being cautious so that he doesn't catch a suspension in the regular season that carries over.

I think he's just a bit burnt out from carrying the team while everyone was injured, especially Bergeron. Now that he and others are back, it's like he's taken a foot off the gas. Might be a bit beat up too.

Thanks for the update, glad to hear that Rick Nash and Kuraly definitely sound like they will be ready for the playoffs if not tomorrow.

Rick Nash confirms that he did have a concussion ...

 

[Number8]

So,

Rick Nash confirmed concussion.

Riley Nash — if he’s not skating (with or without helmet) that sounds like a concussion to go with the ear stitches. Or am I reading too much into that?

Kuraly shoulder and/or concussion?

Carlo —- poor Carlo.......

Ugh....... what an unbelievable year for injuries.

Rick Nash Nearing A Return

Cassidy ruled out Riley Nash for both games this weekend. The center has not resumed skating since suffering an ear laceration after taking a puck to the head last Saturday against Florida. Nash required 40-plus stitches to close the gash.

"I don't think it's anything more than that, but I could probably have a better answer for you tomorrow," Cassidy said when asked if Nash also has a concussion. "Once he gets on the ice it's easier to start talking about players."

It is a bit odd that he hasn't resumed skating if it's just the ear. Maybe they're just being very cautious about infections, etc? If it was a concussion, it's odd that Cassidy would say this.

Supposedly, people with concussions report seeing things more brightly. The tint reduces the glare.

So,

Rick Nash confirmed concussion.

Kuraly shoulder and/or concussion?

Carlo —- poor Carlo.......

Ugh....... what an unbelievable year for injuries.

It can take 7-10 days for stitches to heal but the lack of skating makes me think concussion.

I think the team misses Riley Nash and I want him back for playoffs.

Good news on Rick Nash being close.

I asked in the GDT but didn`t receive a response, looked like DeBrusk took an awkward hit from Boro whatever last night, where both were sort of on the ice kneeling a bit, was he ok to go the rest of the way? Thx

 

[whitetape]

He finished the game and seemed to be OK, but today will tell

But later in the game, he was pushed into the back boards hard ... he was partially able to block it ... but he still hit the boards hard. He got up from that, too.

Rick Nash speaks about his recovery from concussion ...
