beerme1 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Wow, the bolded is very debatable. I agree with him for last year. This year I would say it's not the case though. Jack is more important to me than ROR now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Based on what others who have had the injury have said, I don't think he'll be back to his old self until next season. Even when he can skate there will be lingering pain which will affect his stride, and anytime it gets hit it will flare up. It will probably take an off-season of rest to get back all the way. My experience was that weakness, rather than pain, was the problem upon return to activity. The ankle felt like it was going to give out (and sometimes it did, but the pain resulting from that didn't really inhibit continued activity) when real force was put on it, or if it moved outside of a perfect motion (hard to describe, really). That aspect of the injury is what lingered on for me. They are? I don't think a coach would ever come out and say severe. I think moderate is the worst one can give in coachspeak. Also saying weeks vs days to my ears is hearing more like 8 weeks rather than 4-6. Hope I'm wrong. Wow, the bolded is very debatable. Is it? I thought ROR was clearly more important to the team last year than Eichel was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Am I remembering correctly that Ennis had a high ankle sprain? Like 3-4 years ago? He was out for like 15 games, came back, re-injured it and was out another 15 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude_Verret Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Am I remembering correctly that Ennis had a high ankle sprain? Like 3-4 years ago? He was out for like 15 games, came back, re-injured it and was out another 15 games. You are according to Wikipedia.. The following season Ennis was placed on the injured reserve twice for a lingering ankle sprain that first occurred in a game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Ennis rejoined the Sabres after the 2012 NHL All-Star Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played for a couple of weeks, and then was shut down from 12/17-1/31 (which is more like 7 weeks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm going to bet Eichel is a little more durable and stronger than Ennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't training staff, though. It's medical staff. Nah? Again, it'd help if Chz were to be more plain and clear with what has been "heard." Fwiw, no one on the Twittersphere, as far as I can tell, is saying a peep about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player health is the goal of both groups, and it's something the Sabres have struggled with for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't pretend you won't be climbing onto the ledge I occupied yesterday if he comes back and re-injures it a la Ennis. :p Edited October 13, 2016 by TrueBlueGED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
