Bruce Cassidy gave some updates on various injured players, aside from Brandon Carlo.
Kevan Miller could be back on Wednesday night in Detroit. Cassidy is reserving the right to make a game-time decision.
Both Charlie McAvoy and Urho Vaakanainen are expected to be full participants in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday but Cassidy declined to confirm when they would be back in the lineup.
John Moore is still undergoing tests on his LBI.
There are no real update on Patrice Bergeron.
“I know he was in a lot of pain, but I don’t know if there’s anything major which is good news. But I don’t want to speculate,” said Cassidy. “I just know that he’s not coming back to Detroit on Wednesday. From there, we’ll probably have a better update maybe as early as tomorrow.”
Maybe it isn’t that bad? EVERYONE SAY YOUR PRAYERS FOR PERFECT PATRICE!
As for Carlo, there is no news. And I swear it was an UBI last week and now it’s being reported as a LBI.
Yeah. I don’t know. Just come back soon.
In other sports…
IS NO VENUE SAFE FROM THE DESTRUCTION OF SOCIETAL NORMS??
Will this row be taken to the SCOTUP (Supreme Court of the Pub)?
Will the precedent of “he who smelt it dealt it” not apply?
They completely ignored accepted darts etiquette of “owning up”!
Oh, yes, who wants holiday cookies? I really want to bake some this year and it’s more fun to put them in colorful containers and ship them through the portal. Can’t just let IW eat all of them, you know.
Me not have problem with more cookies
I like portal cookies!
As long as they don’t suffer the same fate as the car!
Every five years or so something like that happens. This was the most damage I’ve seen though!
Are the Oilers doing that much worse than expected? It’s looking like a wide open season so far – if you;ve got fewer points than games played you’re in trouble, standings-wise.
Holy hell, the Pens have won one of their last ten games! What’s going on??
Everyone is the Pacific is meh. But, Chiarelli has been doing a bad job in Edmonton and he needs to keep his job.
I’m surprised most by the Quennville firing and wonder why no one is on the phone with him.
That’s a very good point about Q
Part of me wonders if this is a defensive move to keep the Blues from grabbing Hitchcock when Chiarelli knew he’d fire McClellan soon anyway.
Agree this is Chia throwing the coach under the bus in a bid to extend his job.
But they fired Hitchcock in 2017!
Getting back with your ex is the NHL latest trend. It’s soo hip!
The NHL is dumb. Everyone who’s gotten back with an ex knows that it doesn’t last and sometimes you get a nasty rash.

Hey gang. I am trying to get out of (bagel) bear cave more often. Let share some news with you.
This past weekend I was part of a team which met for the first time Friday night at 8pm. By Sunday at 5pm, we pitched a business plan to local community leaders and business people. We were gifted about $4500, plus a year long membership in a local entrepreneurial incubator/ shared work space.
Our product (though very, very rough and still more hypothetical than real) is an online platform to connect government entities, contractors and purchasing agents with women and minority owned businesses. There is also and educational and support feature we plan on building for the WMOBs as well. As far as we could tell, there was no platform with all this in one place.
Selling the data would help fund the educational elements.
Anyway, we’ll see what happens.
That sounds great. All the best with it!
I don’t know if the UK has this, but in the US, almost all government contracts must have a certain amount of bids of resources allotted to WMOBs. HUGE companies know how to find the companies (if they exists, and if they don’t, that’s where our educational element comes into play).
However, most companies don’t know how to find these minority companies. For instance, a dental supply manufacturer is awarded a $5 million government contract. The contract states 10% of the procurement of raw materials must come from WMOBs. Where does this dental supply manufacturer go? That’s where we come in. In our research, companies would pay $2000 to access our database.
Sounds like you’ve certainly found a gap in the market with a lot of potential. I’m not sure what the situation is over here. If we do have a similar law, I’m not aware of it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is one.
Guys, I have something on Patrice’s injury that I’m saving for tomorrow.
The German Hammer uses HEAL. It’s SUPER EFFECTIVE.
If only I could use my powers for good!
Oh my god I did not need to see Vincent Trochek injury.
Thanks for the warning. Deadspin said his leg did several wrong things. That’s enough of that. Wish you a speedy recovery, dude.
Yeah, I really need to turn off Twitter video auto play.
Ugh! Don’t want to see it. Guess i’m shopping for a player for tje fantasy team
Morning all. Going to be a frigid Thanksgiving up here. Boo!
And any interest in another B2B Secret Santa?
It’s supposed to be a high of 20F (-7C) on Turkey Day here.
As for Secret Santa, sure I love getting presents on my birthday*.
*My birthday is in May
12F for the portal.
I should really start the Secret Santa in July so presents actually get to people around Christmas Eve.
Every year there’s one, just one…
Yessssss!!!!
Hi Pals!!
I’m casting a healing spell over the Bruins. It may take awhile, but i’m hoping to have everyone back by the tfade deadline…..trying to make it easy for Sweenius.
Worked too hard yesterday. I’m going to fuck off all day to make up for that, but i do have some things to do….. I just want to go boating..
Detroit….. it never matters whether they are good or bad, they always give the Bruins fits.
Coffee, while i watch the river gauges!!
Miserable cold rain here for three days – which usually holds off until I’m too far from home to make it worth going back for an umbrella!
I’ll try to will it over in your direction (I’m assuming the higher the better on those river gauges!)
The higher the better! At least for most rivers. There are a couple that get too nasty (at least for me) once they rise over a certain stage.
It’s pretty surprising how much rain is needed for a couple of my favorites. Small, steep drainage basins drain quickly and with and violently.
Well then.
Perhaps the Cincinnati Bengals will hire him.
Well that makes one less coaching option for Condaleezza Rice. (And that was certainly not what I was expecting when I saw her name trending on Twitter.)
Well, for a team that has a parade when they go 0-16 …
Why wouldn’t you have a parade for 0-16? They weren’t the first to have that record in the modern era (that would be Rod Marinelli’s Detroit Lions of 2008) but they did it in style.
Seriously, the Haslams hired an MBI front office to handle football stuff. That is how you get 0-16.
I saw they got a tie in their first game of the season which made it their best start to a season in four years or something? One of my colleagues is a Browns fan.
It’s true and everyone went nuts. This season has been unusual for ties in that there were two tied games in the first quarter if the season. The Packers and Vikings also played to a tie as well.
Honestly, the overtime rules are a stupid contributing factor to this. Overtime should be sudden death, not a play to see who can score more points than the other. You don’t win the coin toss? Too bad. You can’t score in your first possession in OT? Sucks to be you. I just hate the OT rules so much.
I like college OT, but I don’t think it would work for the pros.
We turned on NESN in prep for a Bruins game a couple of weeks back. UMass went through 8OTs before the game ended. I was very loudly shouting “fuck you” from the kitchen. I wanted pregame footage of hockey not a dumb college football game.
C’mon now, Marvin Lewis has a lifetime appointment with the Bengals. He’s the only person who can deal with the lameness of the Browns (the descendants of the late great head coach, not the team).
Well, he did hire Hue Jackson!
AGAIN!
