How dare the Boston media ask Claude Julien for Nathan Horton health updates

I agree with Julien. There is only so many times that he can say.."He's progressing, getting better, still day to day, etc." EVERY SINGLE DAY AT PRACTICE. At some point, you've gotta drop the issue and let the guy heal at his speed.

I just have to laugh every time I think about this because it reminds me Sestito did not get suspended, even this season where "concussion" is the magic word and if it ever comes up, someone is suspended, to say nothing of the fact it was the same type of hit that likely ended Savard's career. I just want Horton back, they need him for the power play badly.

Slow news day or are you just not in the mood to try?

That's the Belichick effect. Taking the lead of a man with only 2 modes of conversation with the media: vague and mocking.

Something about not providing their opponents with information, or being anti-social. I don't know.

Wysh, why all the #$%$ and vinegar over anything related to Boston sports? It's a good thing you don't cover Belicheck and his non-answers related to injuries. You are aware that concussion injuries are finicky and are constantly up and down, so daily updates are about as valuable as last night's "non-binding" Missouri primaries.I have no idea what sports market you are actually from, but there's no need to constantly bash anything related to the Bruins. It makes you look like a horrendously biased and unprofessional journalist--but I guess you prefer the term "blogger" because it shields you from honest criticism and gives you free reign to trash teams that you don't like. I especially enjoyed that you tossed in a little trash-talk about the Patriots, because that was entirely relevant to your article and has a lot to do with your bizarre injury-report-related hockey takes.I would say that you are turning into the next Chris Chase, but Chase doesn't go out of his way to trash on one single team all the time--in fact, he tends to write awful stories about everyone equally.It's OK though, the defending Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins don't really need the approval of the Vancouver and Montreal "gamesmanship" sycophants to keep racking up wins and filling their arena every single night. Don't worry, you won't have to watch Boston knock off the Montreal Diving Team in the playoffs this season, I have a sneaking suspicion that they won't quite make it to mid-April.

Makes sense honestly.

We don't understand concussions enough yet to be able to give definitive answers. Instead of giving the same wishy-wash garbage every day to the same pointless question just say you are done with it. Stop letting the media and fans try to push the player back too quickly based on minor improvements and medical misunderstandings. Let the guy progress at his own speed and come back when he is ready and stop wasting everyone's time asking pointless questions that can't reasonably be answered.

In related, more relevant news, Milan Lucic just farted.
Yeesh - talk about a non story.

"is this because the doctor you had on staff retired"......Thanks for that, I needed a good laugh. Still, I'm sure that Dr. Recchi still has an opinion on Horton, I'm surprised we haven't heard from him on the issue!
.

That "Gronk" reference at this time is a low blow. We're taking your number.

This was funny

Please don't hit us while we are down.

so we make fun of the fact that every time Crosby takes a dump there's an update about it, but when there's not a daily update thats not cool either? okay then.
