BOSTON -- The trend of hiding injuries is nothing new in sports. But Chicago coach Joel Quenneville may have added a new wrinkle to the art of deception. Blackhawks star Marian Hossa was a late scratch for Game 3 Monday against the Bruins, replaced by Ben Smith. On Tuesday, Quenneville was quizzed why Smith hadnt taken part in the warmup if there was a chance that Hossa could not go. "He would have taken warmup if we wanted him to," Quenneville finally said. "He knew there was a chance he was going to play. He was getting himself ready. "I just didnt want to tip our hand that theres something going on." Theres the rub. Quenneville not only hid the nature of Hossas injury (upper body), he started off by hiding any hint that there was an injury. Did it help? Well, the Bruins won the game and Boston coach Claude Julien admitted only to surprise at seeing the game sheet that omitted Hossa. "But to be honest with you, there wasnt any changes in our game," Julien said. "As I mentioned the other day when I was asked about another player, we dont make our game plan based on an individual. "I can definitely tell you they lost a pretty important player on their roster, but that doesnt mean we change our game. I think its important we stick with what we believe in." The Hossa incident triggered several questions about the practice of not divulging injury information or just offering a blanket upper or lower body description. "I guess well go back to history on that one." said Quenneville. "We dont disclose injuries, particularly come playoff time." While he wouldnt detail the when or what of Hossas injury, Quenneville was willing to say why. What is the strategic disadvantage of fessing up, he was asked. "I think thats self-explanatory," the coach replied. Julien said he understands the deception when it comes to protecting a player. "I think if its something that doesnt put your player in danger, I dont see why you shouldnt talk about it," he said. "Theres times where you have to protect your players, and I understand it. I know its frustrating for you guys as media. Youre trying to share that information. The most important thing for us, we can take the heat for that, is protecting your players. I respect that from other teams. When youre playing against each other, stuff like that, you know exactly where everybody is coming from." Then Julien smiled. "Ill share one with you. Yesterday in a warmup. Zdeno Chara fell down, got a cut over the eye. Ill let you know about that. Thats not a hidden injury." Julien had provided those details the night before, when asked about the injury. But Chara himself offered little other than to say he lost an edge. Then the Bruins captain asked if there were questions about the game. Quenneville, meanwhile, stayed mum on how Hossa was injured. The previous night he had rejected reports -- including from his own teams official Twitter account -- that the star forward was hurt in the warmup. "Im not going to get exactly what the injury is or where it occurred but Im going to say hes likely to play (Wednesday) night," he said Tuesday. Dwayne Haskins Jersey .
