Mbossy Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Having surgery on his hip. I guess Ellis will start the season up here. http://www.buffalonews.com/258/story/781677.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpandean Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Doesn't sound like he will miss as much time as I thought based on what had been previously said. Of course, that is a minimum of six weeks, so it could be longer, but I'd guess that Adam isn't the type the nurse an injury any longer than he has to. I wonder if Craig will have to jump in to "protect" Adam again when he gets back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
end the curse Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 There's a real log jam at forward heading into the pre-season, so this injury will be seen as good news for kids like Kennedy and Gerbe hoping to land a roster spot. McCormick is another who may benefit from Mair's absence. Possible line-up: Vanek/Connolly/Pominville Kennedy/Roy/Stafford MacArthur/Gaustad/Grier Paille/McCormick/Kaleta Bench: Hecht (God willing he'll be gone, but this is probably the best I can hope for) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Ellis will start the season up here. http://www.buffalonews.com/258/story/781677.html Ellis has a one way deal, so he was starting the season in Buffalo well before Mair ever had surgery.

deluca67 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Luckily there is no shortage of fourth line players in the Sabres organIzation. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 The question that needs to be asked is why he waited until this long to have the surgery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 The question that needs to be asked is why he waited until this long to have the surgery? He and Angelo Crowell have the same doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korab rules Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 The question that needs to be asked is why he waited until this long to have the surgery? Outstanding point. Maybe it was something that off season training slowly aggravated, so that the necessity for surgery wasn't apparent until now. Then again, maybe he didn't want to spend his summer rehabbing from a surgery. I HATE these cusp of the season surgeries. Byrd, a bills draft pick, did the same damn thing, and Crowell last year. Ellis is a capable stand in for Mair, but is not a pugilist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 The question that needs to be asked is why he waited until this long to have the surgery? I believe it was reported that he hurt it during some recent off-season training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpandean Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 MAIR UNDERGOES SURGERY is the screaming, and I mean screaming, headline on sabres.com. Who exactly are the Sabres trying to convince that they're getting "weaker, softer, pansier, nicer"? :nana: PA (Ref: http://forums.sabrespace.com/topic/15597-sabres-sign-jeff-cowan/page__view__findpost__p__161618) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
