French Collection Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Helps the tank. We can't do anything but hope for 30th now. Increases ice time for Ben-Wa's Mess, which could step up their trade value (5th rounder instead of 6th). wow! May cause Pysyk and or McCabe to get some NHL ice time and $$. Bogo is gonna carry a lot from here on out, more ice time than ever in his career. Gorges could form a shutdown pair with Bogo next year or they could each pair with a young'un and mentor.

dudacek Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 He'll head home to B.C. to rehab with Kane. The Sabres will expect him to kick Kane into shape, but we will know that failed when Gorges gets a Twitter account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus_ Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 In his first full season he did what fans wanted to see out of him and that was bring his physical nature to the Sabres. He did that leading the team in blocks and being a true professional in the locker room and out. If there is a guy you need to handcuff to Zaddy, its' Gorges for the rest of the season. Get cleaned up, 2015 will be a much different ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas23 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Anyone else need to have season-ending surgery? Would be a great time to have those pesky wisdom teeth pulled. How about Neuvirth? Time to finally get that in-grown toenail taken care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tondas Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Gorges was a shell of himself this year. Got to believe (hope) that this injury was a main part of the reason why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodork Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I really don't understand all the secrecy around the injuries this year. Yeah, if they're still playing through it, or it's the playoffs, etc, by all means be vague, but if they're done for the year? What's the harm in making that information available?

If it was the playoffs and we were in them, I'm guessing they would all still be playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they never admit what the injury is, they can't look bad. Less cynical: they're following HIPPA regs that limit the divulging of a person's health conditions.

GMTM may have taken tanking to an art form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTS Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 2 theories: cynical one 1st: they don't want to admit that they are letting guys get surgery in season for items that players typically play through and then get repaired in the off-season. If they never admit what the injury is, they can't look bad. Less cynical: they're following HIPPA regs that limit the divulging of a person's health conditions. HIPAA (sorry, pet peeve). But the truth is that they can divulge his injury information if he had agreed to allow it. Players might have to agree to that as part of signing a contract with the team given that the team needs to know the nature of the injuries and by rule they would have no right to know unless the players released the information. That's why I think they probably sign away that right to the team at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Well, there's been the trend of releasing limited information (upper body/lower body injuries) over the past few years. I think that initially got started with teams wanting to ###### with competitors about game night lineups and matchup scenarios, especially during playoffs, but now it seems like that language has been become standardized. Why you would use the language with an injury that's been declared season-ending? Cue the theories. Tanks' first theory is probably right: GMTM may be letting guys he doesn't plan on trading get repaired so that they're definitely healthy for next season. Bonus for helping the tank in the short term. Double bonus for not making players play injured.

LGR4GM Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 okay, Gorges had multiple doctors evaluate his injury and it was recommended he get it fixed and doing so would shut him down for the season. I am not sure what Tim Murray has to do with that. Gorges had the final call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
