UNB Reds Thread (Part5)

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Phelan got hurt on a hit to the head, Gilmour couldn’t put any weight on his leg and had to be helped off. McCormick left but came back .

Wow…ok then. Hopefully the others can step up and pull this one out.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Maybe the best win of the season given the circumstances.

Definitely. Played with 14 skaters most of the game. A great character win.

I was as at the Dalphinee centre tonight but didn’t see Theede’s hit on Phelan. Will have to check it in the archives to see if it was a head shot. Phelan definitely had a concussion though.

I don’t expect to see Gilmour and Phelan for the last two games of the first half. Hopefully Boland is back Friday. Carroll will be.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I have a feeling Gilmour’s injury is serious given his reaction…he knew right away that something was wrong when he tried to get up and quickly went back down, throwing his gloves on the ice. Looked to be an ankle or knee…just hope nothing is broken or torn.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I definitely think Phelan got his bell rung. Whether it was a direct hit to the head or his head hit the glass as a result of a hard body check, I don’t know.

The SMU twitter posted that they went back to look at the video and it was a clean check/didn’t deserve a game misconduct. They have since deleted that tweet from the looks of it.

Probably someone from the Athletics Department saw it and told whoever runs the account to not post commentary like that.

Broken fibula.

Talked to Phelan after the game. Surprisingly he said he thought the hit should not have been a major.

Broken fibula.

Brutal…that possibility did cross my mind but I was trying to be optimistic…that’s about the worst possible outcome.

It came from a completely innocuous play. Just a freak accident.

Edit: I just watched the archives. Theede hit on Phelan looked clean. Gilmour leg buckled awkwardly while tied up with another player

I watched it last night. A solid hit, but certainly NOT targeted to the head. The Gilmour incident happened right in front of me. I could see he was hurt. Hopefully he recovers in time for March.

I’m not holding my breath. When Ben Shutron broke his fibula in 2010/11 it came in early September and he only returned for the playoffs…and if I remember that was considered an exceptionally quick recovery.

I thought Shutron broke his femur (upper)? I would expect him back for Nationals, if UNB qualifies?
If it's only the fibula, I would expect him back, but if it's the Tibia (lower) also?? He will be done.

Due to the Covid-19,2 lost seasons, every team in the conference has had a huge turnover in players.
With UNB, for example, I think they still had about 6 players from the 2019 Championship team.
Defense has been outstanding, I didn't expect them to run the table like this..........
If X brings in a solid recruit or two, it may level the playing field?

Yes, I believe you are right…Shutron broke his femur.

Looks like you can recover from a broken fibula in three months.

Looks like St. FX has dressed 20 skaters so far…but that doesn’t include Ethan Crossman, who hasn’t played yet.

So they have two spots to work with…but when is the last time they brought in someone at Christmas? Iafrate?

This will not change the suspension, but I hope people read this and understand that if the guy getting hit didn't think it was a major then the fans should also see that. I don't expect to see this in the Gleaner, but this kind of "honesty" from a player is refreshing.

 

[dm8895]

Well not the news I was hoping to see… any word why Carroll didn’t play ?

 

[Rob]

This will not change the suspension.

Really? They never do video review?

 

[AUS Fan]

I think SMU would have to appeal which costs money.

Sounds like a very short bench for this weekend. According to MacDougall…Boland/Outhouse definitely out, Phelan most likely out, Carroll may be out, Gagne with one game left to serve on his suspension.

Gilmour had surgery Monday to repair a fractured ankle and is obviously out long term.

I’m not even going to view this from a UNB only perspective . Acadia is the perfect example of how stupid the roster cap is. I pray to god this changes eventually

 

[Rob]

Did Carroll injure himself during his fight?

 

[dm8895]

Really hope Gatenby isn’t the next casualty, he returned to the bench but didn’t play another shift . I fear we are about to become the second half’s Acadia …
On a positive note Dove-McFalls has really impressed be on the top line the last few games.
