    Honestly, I've stopped going to games at all now and I catch maybe 1 out of every 5 games on TV now. My apathy is nearly complete, so I could care less at this point if they played an entire season over seas.

    Thanks Terry, for the complete destruction of my obsessive loyalty to the Sabres, I guess?

    Seriously, why bother coming on here to tell everyone how apathetic you are?

    With Quinn and Samuelson out, the most Sabres-like thing to do would be to make the playoffs in the last game of the season and then we are stuck with this team for 2 more years 

    Seriously? So the young team plays great, makes the playoffs, and you're mad? Good god.

    How can anyone who read @Wyldnwoody44's knowledgeable professional response to Quinn's injury and the rehab timetable not appreciate his contribution on this particular topic? He informed us on the nature of the injury and the usual timetable to get back to form. What was the purpose of your sarcastic response to his educated comment on this issue? 

    My response to @Wyldnwoody44 is thank you for your contribution. I now know more about Quinn's injury and likely/unlikely return because of your post. 

    Because I trust the Sabres medical team with their care of Quinn. Quinn is not a patient of the internet poster doctor, who is speculating. Lighten up.

    That's well and good, and sure helps bring young, in shape and "rich" with medical staff around the clock. But there isn't any proven way to remodel bone faster and other than PRP and ultrasound Shockwave therapy, etc these things take time, we can cut off a little bit of time from the above mentioned. 

    Maybe he will come back in 6 weeks. A lot of pro athletes do it all the time, it doesn't mean they're actually ready to. It's typically case by case (must win game, playoffs on the line, etc) this current iteration of the buffalo sabres at this point in time, has zero reason to rush any healing injury. In 6 weeks if were knocking on the door, maybe we can revisit that. 

    I guess we need to listen to you instead of the medical staff.

    I think you underestimate the amount of time it takes to recover from surgery. 

    The organization, with their extensive medical staff, said about 8 weeks. At that point if they clear him, he plays, simple as that.

    Sports culture, not hockey culture, but times are changing. Tons of it has gone on, no doubt. Maybe it's being stopped now though. 

    I would say, at least in Canada, it's absolutely hockey culture, which is the predominant sport. You don't get the god-like adoration of other sports figures as much here. And it starts in Junior hockey or earlier.

    This is what you try and tell people who say wait until Christmas or the All Star break to make judgments on the playoffs. You can't fall behind in the race and hope for a hot streak later on.

    The Sabres have won 7 of 11 and fallen two points deeper in the hole. On Jan. 1 they were 7 points back with five teams to jump over. They still have five teams to overcome but are now 9 points out of a playoff spot.

    If they play out the final 33 games at the same pace as the first 11 games of 2024, they will finish with 90 points. Not enough.

    7-4 is hardly setting the world on fire. It's a 104 point season. So there's room for growth.

    Apparently you're quoting me as I said we are on a 7-4 run. Which is correct. What I didn't say is we're "setting the world on fire". Why the hyperbole?

    Isn't that the definition of injury prone? Continually getting injured? 

    No, it's not. Injury prone is when you have a player having the same type of injury over and over. As in the example I gave above, say a player has had a shoulder separation. Then he has the same shoulder pop out repeatedly. That's injury prone. The previous injury results in being more prone to the same injury happening again. Two separate injuries that have nothing to do with each other does not mean injury prone.

    Hope you are right….Tuch was out six months recovering from shoulder surgery when LV traded him… Both he and Samuelson have missed multiple games on IR the past couple seasons as memory serves… Now Quinn injured for multiple weeks after six months recovery from Achilles surgery… Injuries are part of hockey but some players are more susceptible to IR injury than others… Time will tell.

    Going into the boards at a bad angle injuring your ankle as Quinn apparently did has nothing to do with his previous achilles injury. It doesn't mean he's injury prone, it means he had two separate injuries that had nothing to do with each other.
