“Adam sustained a shoulder strain and will return to Boston for further evaluation by the Bruins medical staff. It is anticipated that he may be out 3-4 weeks.”

Through 25 games for the B’s this season, McQuaid has one goal and and three assists for four points and a plus-4 rating. He is tied with Shawn Thornton for the team lead with five fighting majors.

    too bad, he adds some toughness to a team that has looked a little uncharactoristicaly soft lately

    Bad…Especially with Chara playing like the turn style that he is.

    They have become a two period team and then they run out of gas and start the giveaways.
    Kelleys speed hurts and Lucic is a ghost.

  • Schwank

    Frustrating that several 3rd period blown leads have occurred. My first thought on this is whether it’s the team or is it Rask?

  • fab4ever

    IMHO, Rask is way too comfortable…

  • bench warmer

    Scoring 1 goal on the road will get you beat every time.

    This is at least the third/fourth time in the last two seasons we’ve seen Lonewolf go into the boards like this. Quit trying to hit everyone into next week and just get the puck out.
