Why didn’t the Bruins trade Tuukka at the trade deadline last week? Because they needed two net minders down the stretch right?
Well now they’re in trouble. Tuukka’s injury from Saturday has him sidelined for the next 4-6 weeks.
Shit.
This really is a huge blow to the Bruins. We know that Tuukka wasn’t about to become the starter for the playoffs or anything, but we are all on the same page knowing that Timmy would need some rest.
Now Tuukka is basically done for the season and the B’s are turning to…Marty Turco?!?
Yeah, he’s been playing in Europe this season. Great.
So depending on Claude’s management you could have a gassed Timmy as the team heads into the post season. We’re really hoping that’s not the case but need to prepare ourselves for that possibility.
Here’s to praying Turco has enough gas to offer the team something. At least be as serviceable as Tuukka was expected to be down the stretch. Enough that the team isn’t getting blown out when he starts and can win the games he starts.
Chances are at the point you’re not catching the Rangers for the top seed. At the same time you don’t want to slip and end up on the other side of the seedings. You want to remain in the top three, you want to win your division, and of course you want as much home ice as possible in the playoffs.
Ugh, talk about the worst case scenario. Not good. Not good at all.
