It doesn't seem good at all. I haven't read much on PCL's but I just can't see how there wouldn't be a significant effect on play. Are there other examples of players having success with a torn PCL?
Shero? hahahahahaha. I meant that in all caps btw. God I hope not. Krug, Hamilton, Marchand, Smith, Patrice, Krejci,....seems like a team ready to hit stuff over and over again. Nobody handles an abrasive game and sideshow stuff like Rask either. I think Claude will have to go, this roster is built for him and Shero hasn't been around that type of roster before. McLellan would be a great fit imo, he would probably like a Bergeron-Chara leadership group after the group he was just with. That and he can adjust to a roster as well as anybody imo. Dallas Eakins to the Broonz!!!!
Shero was offered the Bruins job before PC, thats why i think that rumor has some legs. that list doesn't exactly inspire Bylsmaism. i would welcome McLellan here. this team can be molded a bit, some versatile players. also some not so versatile players and these are the guys that Id think are most likely to get the door. I like Tippett too. what??..that laid back Finnish demeanor? ^that pic is from milkcratedigest. i can't believe that exists. i can see it now, the 2015/16 slogan: salads, not steaks. and don't make me stare at you.
I hadn't thought about him in Boston. I think he's a very good fit for what they've been doing under Clode. One thing about NHL coaches that drives me nuts, especially the established ones is that they would much rather win 1-0 than 3-2 and they coach to win 1-0. McLellan is the only one out there right now that has some success in the league and isn't terrified of winning a multi score game.
Bovada odds on the next Bruins GM Ray Shero 2/1 Don Sweeney 2/1 Jeff Gorton 3/1 Tom Fitzgerald 5/1 Julien Brisebois 8/1 Mike Futa 8/1 Paul Fenton 17/2 i don't see Pierre on this list.
i gave up trying to find out. searches for people with a permanently torn PCL were returning thousands of hits about ACL surgery *WALL*
in addition to the PCL he played the last 3 games of the season on a fractured ankle. http://sport.sme.sk/c/7764231/chara-ma-zlomeny-clenok-na-ms-definitivne-hrat-nebude.html
