Boston Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli announced today that forward Milan Lucic would be out 4-6 weeks after having surgery on his right index figner yesterday. This is a very unforunate turn of events for a Bruins team already hurting, but very good news for Mike Komisarek's face and pride.

On the plus side for the Bruins, Dennis Wideman returned to practice today. No word on whether or not he'll play Wednesday agains the Predators. Also no word on whether or not anyone will ever try to work with him to improve his shot accuracy.

Milan Lucic Back At Practice, Not Dead

When Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic missed practice yesterday the rumors started flying. Was he hurt? He was seen limping around after the raping game against the Hurricanes! Oh no!

Lucic is in jail for his continued assault on the faces of opponents! One site even reported Lucic had a broken leg.

Well, Claude Julien cleared that up real quick and let the idiot media know that Mr. Lucic missed yesterday's pratice for "non-hockey related personal issues." Hmm, so much for that broken leg.

Well Milan Lucic is back on the ice today despite that "broken leg" or "broken hand" or whatever other made up injury people gave him.

The Boston Bruins face off against the Anaheim Mighty Duck on Thursday at the TD Garden.

In our last bout this evening, Ottawa's Mike Fisher took on the New York Rangers' Aaron Voros. Mike Fisher gave his best effort but in the end Voros edged him out:
