John-Michael Liles has a Concussion, out indefinitely

Another one bites the dust. The Bruins have announced JML's timetable which is...he doesn't have one.

John-Michael Liles has been diagnosed with a concussion & will be sidelined indefinitely as the team follows the NHL's concussion protocols.

JML took a major drubbing on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he took a nasty fall and lay prone on the ice for at least a couple minutes and was clearly not all there after the hit.

This is a MAJOR blow to the defense, as Chara is still technically day-to-day and the Bruins are still in desperate need of help, and now it's just that much worse.
