Kessel and David Krejci will need surgury.

Word is coming out of Boston is that the Bruins young gun’s Phil Kessel and David Krejci were part of the walking wounded and will need surgery in the off season. There is a chance that neither of them could be ready when the regular season begins. Krejci played the whole season with a a torn labrum in his hip, an injury similar to the one that Marian Gaborik had this past season. Funny, Gabby couldn’t play on it but Krejci could, speaks to the character of David Krejci.I guess Czech's are tougher than Slovak's.

Both Krejci and Kessel will be restricted free agents on July 1 and are a big part of the Bruins success this past season. I would hope that the Bruin’s management will try very hard to get both players signed. The Bruins are going to be close to the cap so they will have to make some decisions during the off season.

David Krejci and Phil Kessel, two of the Bruins' best young forwards, are slated to undergo surgery this offseason. Both are questionable to be ready for the start of the regular season according to general manager Peter Chiarelli.

Defenseman Andrew Ference will undergo groin surgery next month, and forward Chuck Kobasew confirmed he played against the Canes with two broken ribs.

"There's a variety of injuries we had throughout the course of the playoffs," said Chiarelli this afternoon. "Every team has injuries. But we seemed to have a few more than other teams. I have to hand it to the players for playing through those injuries."

Krejci, 23, will have hip surgery next month. He is not expected to be ready for the start of training camp.

Kessel, 21, will have shoulder surgery on Thursday to repair a torn rotator cuff and labrum. Kessel is also not expected to be ready for camp.

Check out the rest of the Bruins injuries this is a long list. .

Other Bruins who played through injuries included Mark Recchi (kidney stone), Marc Savard (knee), Milan Lucic (toe), and Zdeno Chara (shoulder, knee, and groin). Chara will not require surgery on any of his injuries. Savard noted that his knee problem probably would have kept him out for two weeks during the regular season.
