Boychuk injured in Montreal

[BigMike]

Max Pacioretty ran Boychuk with a heavy boarding penalty, and spent 10 minutes on the ice being taken off via stretcher.   Very bad scene. 
 
All hopes and prayers are with Johnny Rocket

I'm sure the RCMP will be all over it.

Thank you for your kind thoughts...#55 going for xrays as a precautionary but should be ok. Sounds like a jarred lower back sounds like spasms scary

Boychuk will travel with the team tonight, which is good news.

Any updates?  Great news about him traveling with the team.

Claude was interviewed after the game and said that the 2 minute call seemed appropriate, which indicates he didn't think it was intentional or malicious.

WILMINGTON, MA - When Head Coach Claude Julien addressed media following the Bruins' Friday practice at Ristuccia Arena, he gave an update on defenseman Johnny Boychuk
"Johnny’s getting an MRI today for his lower back and we’ll probably have some details for you guys tomorrow [Saturday] on that," he said.
The extent of the injury is not yet known, beyond that.
"We don’t know yet. You have to be very cautious making any comments because you never know when it comes to backs."

I missed it live, and caught it on replay after I posted.  It looks like a bad (but not malicious) hit that had a really bad result.  I don't think that was as bad as the one Paille got suspended for a couple years ago.
