Injury Report: Bruins Injury Thread

[ReggieMoto]

Might the injuries have something to do with the departure of John Whitesides?

I thought there were too many injuries when he was here but compared to what's going on now I don't know.

The coach reported that David Backes resumed skating today back in Boston, nine days after having a “minor†elbow surgical procedure. He’d seem likely to return to the lineup when the B’s host the Rangers Saturday.

Where are we with Vatrano? Another 6 weeks?

That is great news !

The original timeline pushed him into December.

How far off is Killer, another 2 weeks? I really think him pushing McQuaid down (or out of) the lineup will make a huge difference for this team

Morrow Liles McQuaid Miller. Who is first to be traded or placed on waivers.

Morrow Liles McQuaid Miller. Who is first to be traded or placed on waivers.

Morrow seems like the odd man out, McQuaid should be available for trade as well but with so much youth I bet Sweeney would rather keep him around for insurance even if its as a 7th D.

To me the top 4 is
Chara-Carlo
Krug-Killer

the bottom pair should consist of 2 of
Liles-Chiller-McQuaid

Next year the bottom pair should be
O'gara-Chiller

I like Morrow but I have a hard time picturing him on the Bs going forward.

KMiller is not a top 4 D. I think CMiller looks better this year than last.

Thanks for your opinion.

Out of that group it should be McQuaid, will probably be Morrow.

Surprise me Don.

Backup goaltender Anton Khudobin, (arm injury?) was delighted to be on the ice for practice.

“Unbelievable, it’s really good,†Khudobin said. “I was skating on the ice by myself, which was not really fun. . . . I’m going to talk to the trainers (about) how my body is going to feel. If everything is going to be great and I’m going to feel 100 percent, then hopefully soon I’m going to be in the lineup.†. . .

Why can't the bruins not provide one little update Olson vatrano. Grrr

 

[Gee Wally]

I dont see what they can update. Its been reported a number of times that he wont even get on skates until around the holiday break. Then theyll go from there.

 

[Pia8988]

Exactly, not to mention even when he does get back he'll need time. I doubt he even starts back up in Boston, and even if he does people will just **** on him like they have done with both Krejci and Krug.

 

[Fopppa]

Was Schaller injured last night or was it just a case of back-to-back rotation?

 

[JCRO]

I agree and have stated this before. People need to calm the hype down on this kids return. I would expect him to see some time in Providence so he can get back into the swing of things. If he does stay with the big club and returns after a few skating sessions, I do expect some lag and some hate on his performance.

What's Pastrnak's injury? Concussion symptoms? If so, that's a bit scary three days after.

 

[Gee Wally]

ST. PAUL — Bruins forward David Pastrnak did not practice for the second straight day Wednesday. Pastrnak’s availability for Thursday’s game against Minnesota is in question. Coach Claude Julien did not disclose the nature of the No. 1 right wing’s condition.

“Pastrnak is not better today, so we weren’t going to let him go on the ice,†Julien said. “I’d say he’s day-to-day right now.â€

Goalie Tuukka Rask also was given a rest day. Anton Khudobin served as the primary practice goalie. Julien anticipated that Khudobin would be cleared soon.

Matt Beleskey left practice early after taking a puck to the face.

Is is just me, or when ever one significant part of the offense is missing, the
entire offense disappears.

Krecji, Berg, Marchand, and now Pasternak. If any of these guys are out, the offense
just seems gone.

Considering the exodus of goal scoring from boston, it was going to catch up some way. Eventually the younger guys will fill in the lower half. It really does show when Pasternak is out though. The Minnesota game was down right painful to watch. Certainly a lack of dynamic attack. Hope he is better soon

Realize he is no longer a Bruin but hoping former Bruin prospect Craig Cunningham is ok following what appears to be a very serious and scary incident before the Roadrunners game last night. A little more detail in the attached TSN report. Reminded of the Rich Peverly incident last year in Dallas. Get well Craig.

Always liked Cunningham...too bad he was playing when the soups and pailles were playing. He could have made a good 4th line role. Any new updates? Very scary.
