Bruised and Battered Bruins

Monday, May 18, 2009


Two young stars for the Bruins are to undergo surgery. Forwards Phil Kessel and David Krejci will each be sidelined up to at least six months.

Kessel, 21, will have surgery to repair a torn labrum and rotator cuff that he injured back in March in Columbus. The shoulder surgery will sideline him for as long as six months.

Krejci, 23, will have right hip surgery that will keep him out for 4-6 months. Most likely he will not be ready for Bruins training camp and could possibly miss the beginning of next season.

On another note, other Bruins players have been said be injured. Veteran Mark Recchi had kidney stone surgery before game seven. Also, forward Chuck Kobasew was cross checked in game one against Carolina and he is said to have broken ribs. Defenseman Andrew Ference has a bruised hip and will need groin and hernia surgery.

Although the season ending was a heartbreak, maybe it’s a positive after all seeing as though the Bruins who aren’t injured would make a shorter list.

this is true :) but recchi must be a pretty tough 41 yr old if he had that surgery before playing in a game 7!!

next year, they'll be in shape...hopefully still playing for the bs. krejci & kessel are free agents :/
