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

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

You might be right

I hope you’re right on lol

You have amazing eyes. I didn’t see any blood.

You could see some showing through the sock when he was skating by the bruins bench

 

[sooshii]

Ali, don’t look.

 

[Bruinaura]

You mean Curt Shilling

I knew I picked the wrong one lol

I'm an Orioles fan.

 

[22Brad Park]

I guess the Providence Bruins will just have to win the Stanley Cup this year. Next man up, x10

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

Another one for the collection

 

[Chief Nine]

Ali, don’t look.

Still didn’t see any blood. Not that there wasn’t, but I didn’t see anything

 

[Chief Nine]

Another one for the collection

Oh that one’s awesome!

 

[Thrive]

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?

I thought it ran the length of the thigh but I’m probably wrong if you’re under another impression.

Me neither ..Cannot afford any more long-term injuries .

 

[SerenityRick]

looks like the tip of the skate punctured his leg. I think that's "better" than a full on slice.

 

[Chief Nine]

Me neither ..Cannot afford any more long-term injuries .

Fingers crossed man

Very tough to see. At about :10 on the video he moves his hand just enough that you can get a glimpse of some red on his sock

About 10-11 seconds you can see it before Backes covers his knee with his glove.

Yeah let’s just hope it’s more flesh than anything deep

 

[Fopppa]

Engblom on the TB broadcast mentioned paramedics. Nothing definite yet though on how serious it is.

Ed: not in an “emergency way” so I wouldn’t read anything into it.

EDIT-

 

[ranold26]

Backes is not back.

 

[22Brad Park]

Love to see someone blast Stamkos with a big hit and send ultimate message to these guys.

It might be. I just thought femoral was upper thigh/groin area, but it could run the length of the thigh. Do we have any doctors that know?

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

LMFAO. YES!!

 

[Absurdity]

EDIT: Fake news nevermind. Get well Backes.
