Krejci Swine Flu Update

"Bruins' center David Krejci returned to practice this morning at Ristuccia Arena for the first time since being diagnosed with the H1N1 virus last Wednesday. Krejci, who worked out on his own yesterday because the Bruins had a day off, missed Thursday and Saturday's games but could be back in the lineup tomorrow night when the Bruins host the Pittsburgh Penguins at the Garden (Boston.com)."

From everything I have been reading it sounds like Krejci is a go for tomorrow against the Penguins. Even with Krejci beating Pitt is going to be one tall task. Boston played much better last game, but they still are very inconsistent, and you add that to all the injuries and you can see why they have the record they do.

Krejci Has Swine Flu

Great just what the Bruins needed...

"David Krejci had been diagnosed with the H1N1 virus and will not play tonight.

“Like most people, we are taking many precautions to try to prevent our players and staff from contracting the H1N1 virus,” said GM Peter Chiarelli in a statement. “Our medical staff is working with David to get him healthy as soon as possible, and our players and staff will continue to take precautions with hopes of preventing the spread of the virus to others in the organization.”

According to Claude Julien, Krejci started feeling sick after Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Detroit (Boston.com)."

The Bruins are listing him as out indefinitely. So now the Bruins are missing Savard (injury), Lucic (injury), Kessel (trade), Kobasew (trade), Ward (trade), Krejci (swine flu), Bitz (injury). They are so low on players I think they should put Rask at wing. He seems like he would be feisty enough...

Other Bruins injury news:

Marc Savard has shed the protective boot from his left foot. Savard is continuing off-ice workouts.

Byron Bitz (groin) skated on his own this morning. Bitz will not play tonight, but remains day-to-day.

Don't Get a Flu Shot

Whiskey Prevents Swine Flu

"Russian soccer fans have been told to drink whiskey on their trip to Wales for next month's World Cup qualifier to ward off the H1N1 swine flu virus, the head of the country's supporter association (VOB) said Monday. "We urge our fans to drink a lot of Welsh whiskey as a form of disinfection," VOB head Alexander Shprygin told Reuters. "That should cure all symptoms of the disease (FoxNews)."

What??? That's all it takes? Well, I guess that gives me one less thing to worry about...

Though all these fans pounding whiskey will probably end up causing more deaths then the Swine Flu ever would have...
