Defenseman Derek Forbort was a full participant at practice for the first time since undergoing surgery on a broken finger. He suffered the injury after blocking a shot against the Pittsburgh Penguins on November 1st.
Forbort had been skating with coaches prior to team practices lately but finally became a full-participant Tuesday morning as the Boston Bruins prepare for the Florida Panthers on Wednesday.
The defenseman dropped some funny quotes when asked about his rehab, including how a broken elevator has kept his cardio up:
''My elevator's been broken so I've been carrying my dog [Darla] up the stairs four times a day, so conditioning should be fine.''
But, maybe his best sound-bite was when he was asked about finally being back with the team for a full practice.
''It was fun. I've been doing drills the last week. It was fun to get in some game situations, make some plays, and try to hit Jake Debrusk.'' You can watch Forbort's media coverage below:
