#4 N_Fiddledog: Looks like you're the more correct one, Stutz. We can get optimistic again.
The glass is half full:
�It�s a relief.�
In three words, Jim Benning echoed the emotions of not only the Vancouver Canucks, but the entire provincial hockey populace Monday. When a CT scan earlier in the day revealed that Calder Trophy front-runner Brock Boeser suffered a bone bruise � and not a feared foot fracture � after blocking a Mark Giordano shot Sunday, it turned angst into anticipation.
Knowing the hotshot rookie will soon resume his remarkable National Hockey League season is a boost to the goal-starved club, a fan base that has been entertained, engaged and enamoured with the humble winger and, of course, the general manager.
�He felt better when he got up this morning and it (injury) is more day-to-day than week-to-week for his return,� added Benning. �We can�t afford to lose a player like that.�
There�s no immediate timeline for Boeser�s return, but he could sit out Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday games and be ready for the first post-Christmas test here on Dec. 28 against the Chicago Blackhawks...
