[News] Bouma out for a few weeks(lower body inj).

[indes]

Must be a pretty bad cut, I got cut by a skate once had 6 dissolving stitches inside and 10 heavy duty stitches on the outside. I played the next day and it was fine.

Why are people saying Bouma is made of glass? He's had injury troubles this year, and but played 78 games the last two seasons. He had that knee injury when he was playing in the AHL. Did he have more injury troubles in the WHL?

[handgroen]

he's our man in harms way, he's actually been quite durable for someone playing that role for us.
also have to add that these are the types of guys that swing playoff series. never a bad thing to have too many guys of his ilk waiting in the wings. he'll be back for the playoff push.

Yeah I find Bouma exceptionally durable for how he plays and I'm guessing he has a high pain threshold.

Looks like Bouma has an accelerated healing factor:

Derek Wills @Fan960Wills
#Flames Bob Hartley on Lance Bouma "Technically, he's good to go, but the doctors want to give him a few more days".

Derek Wills @Fan960Wills
#Flames expect that Lance Bouma will return to the line-up at some point during four-game road trip.

Might be a precaution to avoid any chance of an infection?
