The milk and cookies crowd will lament that Boston Bruins' checking winger Daniel Paille will have to spend his time off rehabilitating whatever it was that caused his early exit from Saturday's rout of the Ottawa Senators, but the whiskey drinkers will breathe a deep sigh at the fact that the 29-year-old veteran of Boston's famed Merlot Line will have 11 days to shake it off before practice resumes.
"It was more of a cautious thing" Bruins' coach Claude Julien told beat writers after his team stomped the Senators by a score of 7-2 in their pre-Olympic break finale. "Our trainers thought it was best for him not to come out for the third period - but he'll be fine when we get back, from what I hear."
Logging just 6:37 of ice time for the game, Paille was replaced on the energy line by the Little Ball Of Hate Brad Marchand in the third period who ended up with just shy of twenty minutes on the sheet for the match.
As pointed out by Joe Haggerty of CSNNE.com, Paille missed eight games in December with concussion-like symptoms, but that there was no reason to believe that this injury is in anyway related.
Paille is a productive and energetic skater who averages nearly 12 minutes of ice time over his 50 games played this season, earning a plus-seven rating while notching eight goals and five dimes.
