Bruins coach Julien says 3 injured defensemen doubtful for Game 1

More NHL Playoffs: | | | | |The are hurting, and their D.J. Carozza Jersey series with the hasn't even begun.With Game 1 set for Thursday night in Boston, the Bruins are going to have to play with a very depleted defensive corps. Three defensemen -- , and -- are all nursing injuries, and what coach Claude Julien said after the morning skate has to be a big concern. Coach pregame, on if he has injury updates on Redden, Seidenberg, Ference: "they weren't on the ice this morning, so doesn't Harrison Wallace III Jersey look good" ^CS Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) If that's the case, those three aren't the only ones hurting. The Bruins as a whole will be, too.Yes, the Bruins have , who can eat up minutes like John Guaimano Jersey nobody else, but you can't expect to put him on the ice for 40 minutes. The other guys have to play. And with the Bruins being so thin because of injuries, it means there will be a lot of inexperience back there.If all three of those guys can't go, the Bruins are probably looking at three pairings as follows (as they were Miles Battle Jersey ): Chara and , - , Torey Krug- . Nothing like being forced to play three rookies in six defensive spots in a playoff game. It's going to be interesting to see if the Rangers perhaps get a little more aggre sive than their typical Cheyenne Labruzza Jersey defensive approach at this time of the year.
