Joffrey Lupul among wounded in Bruins-Leafs clash

Toronto Maple Leafs v Montreal Canadiens

MONTREAL, CANADA - MARCH 3: Joffrey Lupul #19 of the Toronto Maple Leafs skates with the puck while being defended by Alexei Emelin #74 of the Montreal Canadiens during the NHL game at the Bell Centre on March 3, 2012 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

The Boston Bruins-Toronto Maple Leafs game already carried potential for serious damage, but that mostly seemed in the form of the Buds’ playoff hopes. Instead, it’s been a more direct, literal way, as the game already provided a significant amount of bumps and bruises.

Obviously, losing Lupul would be far-and-away the biggest deal. (Losing Lupul would be about the only thing worse than dropping the game, I’d imagine.)

Then again, it would totally take care of that “awkwardness with Randy Carlyle” angle for a bit, right? Silver linings.

The Bruins’ injury updates are related to previous incidents instead of tonight’s events, however. Fluto Shinzawa reports that a) Nathan Horton hasn’t resumed skating and b) Tuukka Rask’s injury will likely keep him out closer to six weeks than four. Ouch.
