Report: Mysterious injury will leave Blackhawks a man down in Cup Final.

It was a troubling sign when Bryan Bickell was mysteriously absent for Game 1 of the Cup Final, and the news seems to have gotten worse. Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune spoke with both head coach Joel Quenneville as well as Bickell himself to try and get a sense of what exactly is ailing Bickell but it seems no one knows what's keeping the injured forward out of the line up including Bickel himself.

Joel Quenneville says it's not a concussion for Bryan Bickell. "He never had one." Bickell is talking like it's head related.

Perhaps the most troubling part of this injury is the fact that Bickell has cleared all the concussions tests he's been put through and he stated as much to Kuc.

"We did all those concussion tests and everything is clear. It's just how I feel now," added Bickell.

Bickell has stated to Kuc he will let the Blackhawks know when he's feeling good to go however when that could be is anyone's guess at this point. As of this moment Bickell is not expected to be available for Game 2.

Whether it's migraines or vertigo or whatever for Bryan Bickell, he said he will let #Blackhawks know when he's ready to return to lineup.
