Two or less Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Darcy Regier announces that Criag Rivet had surgery today on his knee and will miss a minimum of 2 weeks. I wonder if Mike Weber is coming up or the they will just play Nathan Paetsch? per Sabres text service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpandean Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 F**k!!! Man, we can't catch a break on injuries. The hockey gods are really trying to test us early. Could we at least get someone back before another goes out? I say Weber gets the nod because of the type of player that he is replacing. Were it Teppo or Lydman or Tallinder, then maybe Paetsch gets the call. We have a more balanced D this year and Weber helps keep it that way. At least that's how I'd explain it to Nathan if I were Lindy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenThePipes00 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Man the injuries are hitting hard ... but they are still 5-0-1 ... if they can still be 5 games over .500 when Hecht, Goose and Rivet get back I think I would take that right now.

inkman Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 At least that's how I'd explain it to Nathan if I were Lindy. He could just tell him he thinks he sucks. Maybe your version will work better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or less Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 He could just tell him he thinks he sucks. Maybe your version will work better. LOL I'm really afriad of what they will do with Tallinder. Who's going to pair up with him. Not that he's been playing bad, Tallinder has actually been really solid, but i don't know if it was the confidence of Rivet that made Tallinder into a better player? You guys think that Weber or Paetsch will play with him or move Lydman back with Tallinder and play someone with Teppo? And i hope Sekera and Spacek get ready for some 26-28 minute games... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Beyond unbelievable. I actually had the conscious thought last night after the game that I hope he stays healthly all year. I saw him block a few shots and was looking for any sign of limping. Un-frickin-believable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMIRNOFF Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 We are dropping like flies. Please let Weber come up!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Weber will get the call, but it's important to give Paetsch a game or two. We don't need a completely rusty defenseman on this roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frisky Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Rivet is broken? That little blurb doesn't say too much about how it happened yada yada. Well, at least we still have Teppo keeping things under control back there. I wonder if they will call Weber up at this point unless they decide to play him over Paetsch. I'm going to guess they're going to use the player who is already up with the club before pulling in reserves. But, I guess we'll see. Wonder if there will be an interview that sheds more light on what happened. Edit: Vogl seems to be assuming it will be Paetsch in the Sabres Blog.

shrader Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Then again, I wonder if the thin sitation on defense in Portland will influence this decision at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I don't know if it is related to the injury, but there was a play in the second period where Rivet reached with his stick to save what might have been a goal. As the play went up ice, I noticed Rivet was hurting a bit and might have sustained an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenThePipes00 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Well seeing as portland has only 6 healthy D-men because Funk is still out, I doubt they call up Weber if Paetsch is going to play. It does Weber no goodto sit and leaves the Pirates scrambling. Let's give Paetsch a shot ... first of all, the way the forwards are playing in their won end and not giving up so many odd-man rushes will help him, he won't get hung out to dry as much as last year. Also, I say put him in Rivet's spot on the second PP ... he has shown flashes there before. Honestly, I'd LOVE for him to show something to the point they move Tallinder. He's been OK at times but I really think he has still been the worst of the 6 d-men. If they could package him and Max ... who knows ... I'm getting WAY ahead of myself and Max has been decent so far ... and I am WAy off topic too ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Well, it will take the better part of the day for Weber to get here, so the fact that he's not practicing with the team yet doesn't really mean anything. Also, they may very well give Paetsch the first shot at it, but Portland being shorthanded on D will have zero influence on Darcy's decision on this -- if they'd rather have Weber dressing for a game than Paetsch, he's coming up. Looking at the schedule, I'd hopefully expect Rivet back for the Wed., Nov. 12 game vs. the Blues. That would be just under 3 weeks out, and missing 8 games. (Alternatively, he could be back for the Atl-Bos back-to-back on the 7th & 8th, which would be just over 2 weeks, but I think they might not want to rush him back right into a back-to-back). Either way, I think Weber will dress for at least a few of those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Dudley Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 :wallbash: nuts , the curse of the captain I say go back to rotating it if thats' what happens' :angry: I have a hard time seeing them going on a road trip with just 6 healthy defenseman dressed unless one of the forwards can play D in a pinch. Gotta think someone gets called up even if just for insurance and Weber would be my choice to keep the Grit in the pairing with Hank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind the fact that they don't currently have a reserve forward either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
