All things considered that's not bad..IF he definately returns then. Hopefully it dosen't hurt his play the rest of the way.
Agreed. I would not rush him back by any stretch. They have a ton of games over the next 12 days and they have been playing ok without him. Make sure he is healthy.
His back kept locking up and going into spasms because it wasnt strong enough to take the pounding of NHL games. He was put on a 3-4 week workout regimen to strengthen his core and kept off the ice. Scrawny Russian has probably never done a sit up in his life but fear not because Im sure this kid just got put through the gauntlet with the ranger strength coaches. I dont know how many of you guys have had experience with college/pro strength coaches but they are probably the craziest group of people out there. Buch is gonna be a new man.
