Bruins injury thread III

[HustleB]

Maybe he should not speculate and let the team announce it in the morning.

The same crap happened with Bergeron and the “extended amount of time” tweet from KTapp.

I intend to reply to a bunch of posts not just yours on this topic. 4 weeks is a significant amount in my book. I thought she nailed it. I was surprised the flack she has taken. This Kalman tweet gives me the significant feeling as well.

Looks like Kalman was right. Bad news for Miller, who was playing well.

Poor Miller, Bruins have to be the most injured team this season, this is just brutal.

Good to see Carlo back, hopefully McAvoy isn't to far behind.

I saw that slewfoot by side of the net.Last name not Marchand its ok.Leon Draisatl did it to Matthew Tkachuk plain as day this year nothing too.And Tkachuk left game over 10 mins after bad fall backwards.That idiot former enforcer has no buisness in charge of player safety.

God is not a Bruin's fan. No other explanation

He is doing them a favor, forcing them to see what they have in young talent and separating the wheat from the chaff- just have to think big picture

Anyone seen a tally as to how many games lost to injury compared to the rest of the league? B's have gotta be right at the top

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Miller cannot stay healthy, gotta always have an extra dee around or 27 nowadays

 

[HockeyMomx2]

It's gotten to the point where I check this thread first when I visit the board

I’m so glad, but not, that it’s not just me.

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Well **** me with a chainsaw.

Damn. That is some big time masochism.

 

[Hamilton Brian]

I hope Sweeney's D-skills are up to par. He'll be dressing next.

 

[BMC]

Now he looks like a bad ass hockey player

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Miller is significant loss, and re evaluation in January—-yikes, cartilage injuries are harder to evaluate than fractures. Poor Kevan, I was much more confident with him in the lineup

There is quantity but quality also...

Losing Miller really hurts the toughness of this team imo. But again it gives these youngsters plenty of experience in case we need them in the playoffs.

I can't remember the statistic for "quality man-games lost" - perhaps they used AAV or something as a proxy...but I do know it exists. And I remember the Bruins and the Ducks were in a virtual heat for the leader one year - it was either last season or the one before that.

In a way, count your blessings: fortunately, we haven't fallen apart in terms of the standings, and there's the "opportunity" to see younger players. Plus, it forces Bruce to play some improvisational lines...it wasn't so long ago under Claude that our lines were pretty much fixed. Great prep for whatever injuries come just before or during playoffs.

They were kind of saying on Toucher and Rich this morning that the team thinks McAvoy should be playing right now. I think it’s kind of rediculous if that has any truth(which I doubt it does). Even if he feels healthy, he has a very bright future, no reason to risk anything. Don’t get me wrong would love to see him ASAP but if he’s not 110% confident in a return, not worth the risk.
