Christmas Wish: Denied

Joey P Undegoes Hernia Surgery, Out For One Month


The Daily Free Press is telling us that on the eve of tonight's game with RPI, Joe Pereira underwent a procedure he has been putting off to minimize the time away from the team.



"Friday night, when BU plays host to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the Terriers will be without the services of Pereira, who is expected to be out a month after undergoing hernia surgery Wednesday, Parker said.

Pereira is aiming to return to the Terriers’ (4-8-3) lineup for their Jan. 8 matchup with Boston College at Fenway Park, Parker said. 

The junior has needed the operation for some time, but chose to put off the procedure until this week in hopes that he’ll only miss two games –– Friday’s game with RPI (8-8-1) and BU’s Jan. 2 contest against the No. 15 University of Massachusetts-Amherst."


Well this figures.  One of the few guys it hasn't been painful to watch goes under the knife.  So much for staying healthy.


Let's hope the estimate of missing just two games is correct.
