B's Were Banged Up

BOSTON, MA — Last season’s playoff run was marked by relatively few injuries to the Boston Bruins.

This postseason (and regular season, for that matter) was not as kind to the 2011 Stanley Cup champions.

“We were challenged a little bit through injuries,” admitted General Manager Peter Chiarelli. “I thought losing [Nathan Horton] and [Adam] McQuaid hurt our size and strength and hurt our balance up front.”
