Matt Hackett

I don't know if this should be considered a rumor (I looked for a rumor forum), but WGR is reporting that Matt Hackett has left Rochester with his equipment. Does this mean that one of the Sabres goalies is injured or possibly traded ? Hackett was not on the plane to Pittsburgh, but Pittsbuirgh's not that far away, where he couldn't get there early enough for the mornings skate. Again, I'm just reporting what I heard on WGR about 3:00 am.

certainly an interesting development, though i wouldn't be surprised if he's just going to back up Enroth tomorrow and give Miller some rest after stopping 45 shots. but also, pure speculation here, a few times throughout the game i thought miller was a little slow to get up after stopping a puck, laboring a bit like you see goalies do when one catches them where theres little padding. perhaps an injury.

Paul Hamilton called into WGR around 130am after they arrived in Pittsburgh (he flies with the team), and said both Miller and Enroth were on the plane and healthy. He also said there was no Hackett but did see Sulzer on the plane. So, this call up is very bizarre.

So goalie coach Jim Corsi just escorted Matt Hackett to bench, tapped him on shoulder and sent him to dressing room in middle of practice.

 

I should note Ryan Miller is currently not practicing. Not sure what is up but hopefully nothing serious.

Can you find out if Hackett was smiling or Frowning when tapped? If smiling I'm assuming he is going back to Rochester or has been cut/traded. If Frowning then I'm thinking he was just told to go to the locker room to rest up cause he is getting the next start

Sabres have wrapped up practice, and Ryan Miller is now on the ice.

 

idk what the hell they are doing. Miller maybe just getting some work in to test his injury and Hackett may have gone down who the hell knows. It is moments like this where the Sabres twitter could be helpful and be like hey Hackett headed down to Rochester.

maybe they sent him down and have decided to start Thadeus Lewis over him and Enroth this week too?
