Bruins hiding drunken incident and lying about Pastrnak's freak injury?!
Twitter

The Boston Bruins announced on Tuesday that they will be without leading scorer David Pastrnak for at least the next two weeks after the star winger underwent surgery to repair a thumb injury. The injury took place late Sunday night as Pastrnak fell while leaving a sponsorship dinner with teammates.  However the team's tweet, providing the information on Pastrnak's condition, is making TSN's OverDrive hosts Bryan Hayes, Jeff O’Neill and Darren Dutchyshen suspicious about what actually happened. 


Hayes studied the whole tweet and question the use of several words including the fact that no teammates were named though the Bruins made sure to say that witnesses were present and that it was a team function. Then, criticizing their use of vocabulary from a "Dickens novel", Hayes wondered why they said "while walking to his transportation" and why even pointing this detail out. Then, he added that it did not make sense for the team to specify that they would know more in two weeks time, but that Pastrnak would return this season. 

"This is the strangest tweet of all time," commented Hayes. 

According to Hayes and O'Neil, the Bruins might be protecting their player and hiding a drunken incident. The tweet sounds like Boston is trying so hard to make it seems like they're telling you the truth for it to be truthful. While O’Neill brought up a personal experience that he had when he was on the road that had a similar outcome, Hayes said what a lot of people are probably thinking. 

"People are going to assume what I'm assuming right now... [...] that it was 3am and that you were out partying." 

Dutchyshen tried to play the devil's advocate by explaining that anyone, especially in this Canadian weather, could go out there and whip out on the ice, however, O’Neill refuses to believe that a top shape athlete like Pastrnak would injure his thumb, not his head or shoulder or elbow, but his thumb in a fall. 

"The only thing that gives me pause with this is that they do say it was a team function. And let's be honest, we go to a corporate function, you're not getting greased at a corporate function."

Hayes and O’Neill even questioned that fact from Dutch...

"I think he was either buckled, or in a fight or maybe play fighting with a friend, they were goofing around and then they realized uh oh we're in big trouble," added Hayes. 

Pastrnak has enjoyed another dominant season in Boston, tallying 31 goals and 66 points this year with the Bruins. Last season, the Czech forward posted a career-high 35 goals and 80 points, and 34 and 70 one year prior.

This is surely the biggest blow to the Bruins this season, despite the team having dealt with many injuries since the start of the regular calendar back in October. 

Let's hope it is because of a freak injury and not a drunken incident that could have been avoided...
