In a year in which it is definitely not the pre-tournament favourite, Canada's national junior team has suffered a significant loss with the injury to Columbus Blue Jacket forward Gilbert Brule....and the poor d00d just came back from a major injury! *sigh* Thanks a lot, CBJ.
Brule, who fractured his leg in the third period of last night’s game in Minnesota, will be out a minimum of four to six weeks and unable to participate in the World Junior Championship, which begins Dec. 26 in Brule's hometown of Vancouver.
It is a significant loss. Brule is a good goal scorer and high energy player who would have been a fan favourite on home ice. He definitely would have been on the team and likely would have been a front-line forward for coach Brent Sutter's team.
