Pre-Game News: Krejci has H1N1 & Rask Signs Extension

Two brief notes before tonight's game between the Bruins and Canadiens:

David Krejci has been diagnosed with H1N1 (Swine Flu). He has been isolated from the rest of the team, and the Bruins' medical staff are working to keep him healthy. He'll be out of the action until he is symptom-free for at least 24 hours, and in the mean-time the Bruins' offense takes another serious hit. Do I feel badly for commenting on Krejci's merely okay play in the last game, now that I know he has Swine Flu?

Sort of.

The other news from the Bruins' camp is that Tuukka Rask has been signed to a contract extension through 2011-2012. The young gun is the Bruins' newest next-big-thing and excitement hasn't been this high since Jon Casey, John Grahame or Andrew Raycroft.

Personally, I'm still waiting for the next Andy Moog.
