The latest update on the Albany River Rats bus crash is that all but one of the players has been released from the hospital. Defenseman Casey Borer was released from Berkshire Medical Center, but has suffered a broken vertebrae and will miss the remainder of the season.
Phil Janack, in his continuing outstanding work, has reported that Nicolas Blanchard is the only Rat remaining under hospital supervision. He has some deep cuts to his torso and requires constant changing of the bandages. Janack spoke with Rats head coach Jeff Daniels:
Another reason they want to keep him at the hospital, too, is the way he’s bandaged up, it’s something that has to be changed three times a day. Being a single guy and living with (Mike) Angelidis, I don’t know if Angie can handle that. His parents are in town and I believe his sister is at the hospital with him, so he has family there. I talked to him this morning and he seemed in good spirits, just kind of waiting to see what the next step was.
The AHL postponed tonight’s scheduled game against Bridgeport and gave Albany the option of postponing Sunday’s scheduled matchup with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. After taking a day to get a better assessment of the team’s readiness, the Rats have exercised their option to postpone.
