When the Boston Bruins took the ice for the first time in the annual captains practice, Brad Marchand was obviously in attendance but an NHL insider revealed some worrying news.

The Bruins captain announced that he played last season with some nagging injuries that affected his play as he elected to get 3 surgeries during the summer. There were some worries that this could affect his play and NHL insider Mike Johnson commented on what he saw out of the future Hall-of-Famer.

"I don't want to read too much into the captain's practice footage, but he wasn't moving completely free out there just yet," observed Johnson. The further you get into your career, whether you're 29 or 36 or whatever it might be, it takes a little longer to heal, to recover, to get in shape and to find your best game," said Johnson. "That's just the reality of sports and the age curve that we all deal with."


Marchand would also comment after the practice last week that the surgeries he underwent put a major halt in his normal training schedule to prepare for the upcoming season.

"There's a lot of work to be done,» Marchand said as per NHL.com. «The summer that I had is not typical for what I'm used to, and it might take to the season. It might take a little bit into the season, but I'll treat the next two months like a summer and train and skate the way that I normally would in the summer, kind of from now on."


It is important to note that it is too early to tell if his surgeries will be a a deterring factor this season. A clear picture of his game will only be able to be evaluated once he gets back into shape and starts skating more. We will provide more updates throughout camp.
