Bruins Win, but...
think the Boston Bruins were lucky tonight to get the win tonight, their goal
tender stopped 34/35 shots and held them in the game when the Bruins were on
their heels with the Flyers buzzing. Now with the loss the Flyers have no room
for error what so ever, however they will not go quietly into the night, they
will put up a big fight. I expect them to play with heart and I and I expect a
very rough game on Friday night. Sure they Flyers can come back and win this
series anything is possible, however, highly unlikely that they do. The injury
to David Krejci if it ends up being true is devastating. Krejci is a great
center that kills penalties and plays on the Power Play. The hit was clean and
what can you do hockey is a physical game.
The B's may have to do so
without defenseman Adam McQuaid and center David
Krejci, the latter of whom, according to Claude
Julien, was sent to a Philadelphia hospital for evaluation on an
undisclosed injury he suffered just prior to the Bruins' second goal at 5:45 of
the first period. Krejci assisted on the goal scored by Miroslav
Satan.
A source told NESN.com
that Krejci needed a wheelchair when he left the building, and John
Boruk of CSN Philly tweeted that Krejci broke
his wrist on the play, will have surgery in Baltimore and is out for
the series and likely the season.
Krejci was carrying the
puck through the neutral zone and was cleaned out by an open ice hit from Flyers
captain Mike Richards. Krejci laid on the ice as the puck
popped loose to Lucic, who then found a streaking Satan for the
goal.
As Krejci finally made his
way to the bench, he appeared to be favoring his shoulder area, but the actual
injury is still unknown. After Julien announced that Krejci went to the
hospital, there was rampant speculation in the press box that Krejci had
suffered a concussion.
Julien noted that he felt
it was a "clean hit" and had no problems with it [NESN.COM]
