I called it before and I'm calling it now Wagner arm not broken. Book it.
I think Rear Ad is coming in from the front office side whereas Whitney is coming in more from the player side.
In all honesty, the Miller situation falls somewhere in the middle.
Part of me would love to see him back for at least a game but the other side of me says leave Clifton in the line up.
Exactly. Have to get him ready to play if he's needed. If there are no injuries to the defense you keep him out. If clifton is healthy he plays, Miller has been out to long at this point.The other side says...I want him healthy, just case.
Guys on radio says he has a sore groin and Bs are hoping they win and he gets a week off before SCF

Didn't someone mention that he may make it back if we get to the Final? Or was that just a pipe dream I've chosen to believe as reality? LOLI see your logic but I sure would like to have Miller for the rough stuff right off the bat. We know the Sharks or Blues are going to try to intimidate us physically especially in the first game.

I’d consider him tough but not like MillerClifton isn’t physical?

Read what I responded to. Only referring to his toughness - guy is an ass kickerFrankly, the Bruins aren't missing a beat with Clifton in the lineup instead of a Miller.
Since we have 11 days off Chara should feel a lot better...
What about Miller? Its definitely nice having Clifton, love the kid...Tough choice but I'd imagine if Miller is ready to go he'll play.
This would seem to suggest it's not broken. If he had a broken arm, they would know by now, wouldn't they? And if it was indeed broken, they would know for sure that he won't be playing - none of this waffling and uncertainty.
I took it to mean that he 100% broke it. 4-6 week injury, 4 weeks would be 11 June. Game 7 scheduled for 12 June so probably 1% chance he plays but who knows.
Defenseman Kevan Miller and forward Chris Wagner are both unlikely to play in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said Saturday morning at Warrior Ice Arena.
Hard to tell what the question was from the press conference, but Sweeney's response seemed to be about being ready for the start of the series.
And this is the way it was reported in the Globe (emphasis mine):
Seems to me if Wagner had a broken arm, he wouldn't be merely "unlikely" to play in game 1, he'd be ruled out definitely. But, perhaps we'll know more in time.
