Dave Bolland got a nice, new well-deserved contract in the off-season but isn't on the ice at training camp and won't be, the club says, for three-four days. He didn't play, as scheduled, in the Blackhawks' Shootout at Cog Hill on Labor Day, either, but was there to watch the golf event. At that time I was told he didn't play golf as a precaution to keep him healthy for training camp. An outside-the-organization source told me the injury was to his shoulder, but the Hawks said ``lower body'' when training camp opened. Now they say it's ``lower back.'' Who knows what it is, but the Hawks need this guy. Bolland's health status could become a sensitive issue as the season closes in.
