Pierre-Marc Bouchard Out With Concussion Symptoms

[chilly666]

Pierre-Marc Bouchard, who returned Dec. 1, 2010, from more than a year away with a concussion, has been sidelined with concussion-like symptoms.

According to GM Chuck Fletcher, Bouchard hasn't felt comfortable since the Zach Bogosian check into the boards last month in Winnipeg. Late in last week's Vancouver game, Bouchard was elbowed and has been experiencing symptoms.

Fletcher said Bouchard's symptoms aren't near as severe as when he was out with post-concussion syndrome during the year-plus away. Fletcher did admit they were being vague with Bouchard's injury, but he did suffer a groin strain as well against Vancouver and the Wild didn't want to use the concussion word until it had more information.

Why am I not suprised by this? Hopefully he doesnt have to take another year
off.

Good and bad...
Good in that he won't be taking a roster spot from someone that will actually try on the ice, and do more than go through the motions.
Bad in that we can't trade his ass now.
