Horton stops skating, back to "square one"

[blackngold]

Terrible. I hope they shut him down for the rest of the season. We could use his shot right now but there's no need to risk another player ****ing up his career because of this.

Nathan Horton has stopped skating because of post-concussion syndrome. According to Claude Julien, Horton’s symptoms, which have included headaches, returned once he resumed solo skates.

“He’s been pulled back,” Julien said. “He’s got some symptoms. So we’ve pulled him back. It’s hard for me to come out every day with a step forward, step backward. He’s back to square one. We’re giving him some time here. Those symptoms, once he got on the ice, came back.”

Horton hasn’t played since Jan. 22, when he suffered a concussion after being hit by Philadelphia’s Tom Sestito. Horton first skated on his own on Sunday.

Definately concerned about Horton. Shades of Savard all over again really. The Sestito hit didnt appear to be that bad;although late,much like the Hunwick hit that put Savard out for good in Colorado. Sucks because Horts is the kind of guy that needs to play physical to be most effective. Hopefully he can get back before the playoffs. Chiarelli probably needs to pull the trigger on aquiring a scorer now,like Whitney of Phoenix.

Bruins have to make a deal if they wanna make a deep playoff run. With Horton out we need another forward that scores and plays good D like Horton

Well ****. The B's are without a doubt gonna need a forward from the deadline, Caron just isn't cutting it. Hopefully Horton doesn't rush, we aren't gonna run him out of town for being hurt, I hope he can play again.

I have a bad feeling that Horton will end up like savard, I hope that isn't the case. Shut him down for rest of year so this doesn't become issue for years to come

I can't believe how much Horton actually meant to this team, they have played like sh1t since he went out.

What's new with Horton? Any chance he plays in the playoffs?

I doubt it, still not skating....
