Brad Marchand has missed the Bruins past two games, and with the team facing elimination against the Panthers, he may not be returning anytime soon.

The second round series between the Bruins and the Panthers turned in game three in a big way, when a collision between captain Brad Marchand and Sam Bennett saw the Bruins leader leave the ice. He has yet to return, and even with the series headed back to Boston with a 3-2 lead for the Panthers, there's little optimism of his return.

While fans had held out hope, a recent report revealed that not only did the Bruins give Charlie Coyle an �A' for the remainder of the playoffs, but they've hung Brad Marchand's jersey in his stall in the two games he's missed thus far.

The Bruins kept Brad Marchand's sweater hanging in his stall during the game tonight.

Coyle: "His leadership, even when he's not dressed � he's still in here, he's still leading. And he does what he can to help the team in whatever way possible."

Unsurprisingly, fans were quick to point out that it seems a bit dramatic for a player that's simply injured, but others noted that it appears his injury is much worse than initially feared.

Getting the feeling this concussion is way worse than is being reported

Head injuries are nothing to mess around with, and as the normal concussion protocol sees players miss several weeks, it's highly unlikely that we see Marchand in this series again, and even if the Bruins pull off the comeback from down 3-1, it's unlikely he'll be ready to go anytime soon.
