I predicted a bruise, but a mild knee sprain ain't so bad! I called it!

I'm glad for so many reasons. The most selfish one is that I get a great kick out of screaming: "JOHNNYYYY!!!" when he gets the puck out by the blueline. I mean, I really, really love doing that.
Yes I am guessing but im also using past history with other players and common sense
I'm also using past history (Bergeron, 2011 ECF) who came back two games later after taking the hit against Philly.
If I cut my hand open and cannot play in my league game, I cannot play. If it is in January, and two weeks later I am good to go, I am going to play. If it is today and two weeks from now when I am also fully healed and we are in the Finals, I am going to play.
Same with concussions. If you are healthy and 100% in January or April, you are 100%. Dates and schedules should not dictate the health and availability of the player.
Horton will play this year if he can because he will be 100%. This team is going to go further than you think in these playoffs.

Back the truck up a second. I NEVER said anything about us not going far in the playoffs.
All I said about the Cup was that the Bruins will not risk anyone's long term health in order to win a cup which is why, to me, Horton won't be back until September.
Just want to add that being 100% healthy and in game shape doesn't mean you should or will play.
