I have a feeling he'll be set to return for our home contest against CC.

DG, I don't think there is going to be any after the whistle stuff and rough stuff this season.

I have watched both teams this season and they aren't really that type of team this year. I am looking forward to a great series.
I am hoping for a split at least.

I kind of doubt they would bring him bac for the CC game unless in serious danger of not making the National Tournament. That extra week of rehab will go a long way towards recovery, and hopefully the WCHA playoffs will give him enough playing time to be 100% for the actual tournament.
btw does anyone know how long it takes to get back to full strength from an injury like this?

Three months has been the number mentioned, but every surgery & rehab is different.

Bozak also has the NHL contract to worry about.

The good news is that he battling to come back and he is an exceptional athlete which should work wonders in rehap.

The most important thing is that he rebuilds the muscles around the knee and leg to strengthen the knee.

If DU already has an NCAA bid locked up they will also have home ice and an easier WCHA opponent in the 1st round of the playoffs, which also might give them an extra week or two to play with.

Plus the CC game at the end of the season is just a single game, not a two game series.
