GDT: Game 70: 3/17 Luck of the Irish Bruins @Tampa Bay Lightning 7pm ET NESN, 98.5 FM

We can just forfeit the rest of the games and still make the playoffs, right? Maybe we should just do that to stay healthy

 

[Chief Nine]

I didn't see blood. there was blood?

I didn’t either

 

[JCRO]

There was blood coming through the sock. I saw it

I didn't see blood. there was blood?

Looked like it was right above his knee/pad. Nothing on the ice, but his sock was red

Yeah, you could see if coming through his pants under the black shorts

 

[SerenityRick]

He got off the ice fast and practically hopped down the tunnel on one leg

To be fair, when you're injured in any way, whether or not it actually limits you physically, You're always going to be ginger. Tendon cut or not, I don't think anyone is just gonna be strolling away

EDIT - and also to be fair, I'm desperately trying to be positive, lol

 

[BMC]

Hopefully it just looked worse than it actually is

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

I didn’t either

I thought there was a streak near the knee, dark red, not big or noticable. Only saw the play once though.

 

[22Brad Park]

When he refused to put skate on ice it looks bad .Love Leafs game .They highstick guy nothing then powerplay for guy gloving puck lol Good ole N H L consistent anyways

 

[bbfan419]

Not worried, it's Backes, blow torch and some duck tape and he will be right back out there.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

I slipped on the hot tub steps and smashed my head. Surprised Backes didn’t get a penalty.

You missed Marchy low-bridging you under the bubbles

Pffftt, Roger Clemens threw a baseball with a bloody sock. Backes will start the second period.

A little Gorilla Glue should do the trick

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Backes seemed to be looking to see if there was blood, shoved his pad and sock down....

 

[Smitty93]

Femoral artery is right there...

If that gets cut he could lose the leg or possibly bleed out if not dealt with immediately.

I'm not a medical expert, but isn't the femoral artery higher up on the leg? Is there another artery closer to the knee?

 

[TP]

Just my opinion, but I think Backes was more scared than hurt. Quick stitch and comes back.

 

[Chief Nine]

Yup. Just heat up a piece of iron, cauterize the wound and get his ass back out there

Curt Schilling did that.

[The Hockey Tonk Man]
