MONTREAL -- Boston Bruins defenceman Johnny Boychuk was taken from the ice on a stretcher after a hit from behind by Montreal forward Max Pacioretty on Thursday night. The game was delayed several minutes as Boychuk was attended to by medical and training staff on the ice before being wheeled off the ice. Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli later issued a statement that said Boychuk was taken to Montreal General Hospital for observation. "Before he was transported to hospital he was able to demonstrate movement in all his extremities," Chiarelli said. There was no immediate word on the nature of the injury. Pacioretty was given a two-minute penalty for boarding at 4:28 of the first period. Boychuk had chased the puck into the Canadiens end of the rink. The hit into the end boards to the right of goalie Carey Price did not look particularly hard, but Boychuks face struck the top of the boards and he fell to the ice. He was on his knees breathing heavily for several minutes before trainers got him onto his back and onto the stretcher. Pacioretty was on the receiving end of a hit from Bostons Zdeno Chara on March 8, 2011 that left the Canadiens left winger with a concussion and a fractured vertebrae in his neck.

Specifically, thumbs up to the Canadian-based teams in the NHL, or at least most of them.

Thumbs down because the biggest trade of the hockey season is a baseball trade. Ask 30 NHL general managers about trades and they all say the same thing--trades are difficult, if not impossible to make. But why? It used to be that trades couldnt be made because full contracts had to be swapped, but now, some of a traded players money can stay on the books of the team he leaves. There are too many no-trade clauses, but the general managers tie their own hands when they offer them and surely they could try harder to get players to waive them. Its all too easy for general managers to wait for the trade deadline. They don’t know till then if they should be buyers or sellers, and they think by then they will find willing partners who must sell and who wish to buy. NHL GMs are always working the phones. They say theyre open to any deal that could make us better. They might get particularly interested in making a trade that will delay the firing of a coach, and then they realize the coach has to be fired anyway. Admittedly, makingg trades isn’t as easy as it sounds on sports radio.dddddddddddd It does take a certain boldness to make a significant trade. Wheres the boldness in the NHL? Thumbs down to the Montreal Canadiens, whose general manager Marc Bergevin was praised when he unloaded the contracts of Travis Moen and Rene Bourque for two players unsigned beyond this season, Sergei Gonchar and Bryan Allen. Well, Bergevin must tackle a larger task to maintain his reputation as one of the NHLs shrewdest front-office bosses--he has to decide whats wrong with his team, because something is wrong. The standings say otherwise when they place the Habs at the top of the Eastern Conference, and the 16 wins that got them there include some impressive performances. But the seven losses in regulation time are a large gravy stain on the CH crest. In those seven games, the Canadiens have managed to score a grand total of four goals. It looks like a misprint, and so does the number of goals allowed in those 60-minute defeats--32. Bergevin has shown he can get rid of contracts, but now he has to identify and get rid of a problem, whatever it is. ' ' '
