    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.

    Hoping Quinn is not an injury-prone player… We already have Tuch and Samuelson… 

    None of these players are injury prone. There's a difference between having multiple injuries and being injury prone. Injury prone is more like a shoulder that has a history of keeping popping out. Or a chronic knee injury. Quinn has just had bad luck so far.

    Time to start looking at who the top 10 are in the draft and sort by 'highly skilled undersized perimeter forward' so we can figure out who we're drafting.

    No, it's time to continue on our little run of 7-4 lately, and make a playoff push.

    At this point Mine as well nothing else is working .

    What's the worst that could  happen  We suck more. Or we start winning more.

     

    Our last 11 games we're 7-4. We're playing okay at the moment, which is why losing Quinn really hurts.

    Given that there was surgery and an ~8 week timetable, I inferred that it was maybe a fibula fracture (but no tibia). 

    Have our resident MD’s weighed in?

    If it’s a lower leg/ankle fracture, that should be a clean, complete recovery.

    I think that may very well be what it is, which is relatively good news in the big picture

    Again, no one is questioning your stance on the Sabres situation.  I agree with you on that.  I was not questioning your intellect, just pointing out that if you are laughing at a gaslighting post in this thread you may not understand the real meaning of the term.  It is used incorrectly much of the time out there in the interwebs in much the same way that woke has been hijacked.

    Telling others that disagree with you that they need to relax is not a good look.  Making light of a perfectly good comment by a veteran poster and then LOLing about his post is not a good look.  Panties in a twist is not a good look.  Talking about posters that disagree with you on 'tearing it down' having a complete meltdown when the team faces challenges is not a good look.  LOLing about your meltdown comment is a terrible look.

    Thanks for the patronizing lecture. I'll say what I want, thank you very much.

    Another great post.

    Do you even know what the term means?

    Let's see, my age getting questioned, now questioning my intellect. I'm going to say yes, I'm aware of what it means. Thanks for your sarcasm - that's also "great".

    And all this because I choose to be positive about this team and not have a complete meltdown when they have challenges.  LOL

    are you younger? 

    I find in general the younger fans simply don't get the full level of frustration. They don't remember what it used to be. They just don't get it. 

    No, I'm 59 and have been a fan for 50 years this year. I'm familiar with the level of frustration, but in my opinion blowing up the team would be tragic. We're fine if we stay the course with significant tweaks along the way. Some people are tired of hearing about it, but we ARE the youngest team in the league and will get better as other teams age out a bit. It's an attempt to set us for long-term success, with a great cap situation. People need to settle down.

    I'm not going to argue further than this but you suggested certain people should leave.

    ANYONE who suggests someone should leave, needs to be told. 

    If being here was making their lives miserable. I was offering them a solution, lol. Settle down dude.

    Jokiharju, Rosén and a 2nd to Calgary for Tanev if he is willing to sign for two years at reasonable cap hit.

    I can see us moving on from Krebs. McLeod from Devils is high on my wishlist.

    And I think Sabres should be buyers, not sellers.

    Keep a seat warm for Tanev on the IR, he spends a lot of time hurt
