Eleven Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Is this where one comes for group therapy? I'm literally devastated. The events that led up to this for me are so surreal. Someone texted me asking what's going on with all the Sabres injuries? I thought he meant O'Reilly, Okposo, Kulikov, Bogosian, etc. The next notification on my phone was a twitter friend who messaged me, "Eichel is down." My heart dropped through my arse. :cry: Really frustrated about the Bills fans comparing this to Shaq Lawson, Reggie Ragland and Sammy Watkins...they were never expected to carry their team and be the superstar. (Maybe Sammy, to an extent.) My only hope is that this does not effect his future...McDavid hurt his collarbone, hardly an issue, I've done that and it never made a difference in me playing football or hockey when it happened. But, an ankle...for an explosive hockey player? That worries me. This is probably the worst possible news we could get the day before the season opener. It's just downright heartbreaking stuff. Someone talk me off the ledge...because I truly don't think this team can withstand this kind of loss. Let's just see what happens. Stay on the ledge for now. One of us will push you off when the time comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3putt Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 It's temporary besides not being able to alter the facts, will force us to rally behind the rest of the team. It is a long season and we have no idea how long he will be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hey Josie, you don't suck. I love the picture. Well, I hate the reason it exists, but it captures my feelings perfectly. Part of me is bracing for him missing the season, and another part fully expects him back before game 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a long season and we have no idea how long he will be out. Think of it this way... if he misses 43 games, it won't count as an accrued season towards UFA status.

Wyldnwoody44 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 C'mon - I watched it and I'm a squeamish namby pamby. It's not because I'm squeamish lol.... After all I have to pull the placenta out of a uterus after a c section.... Doesn't get much more disgusting than that. I just don't wanna see our star go down 8 minutes before prepping for game 1 of a season we all have been waiting for with baited breath. I'll just wait for the medical details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabills Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 4-6 weeks for high ankle sprains typically. Bad, but not season-ending bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 3m Whether there is more definitive/different diagnosis still to be seen, but for now BUF anticipates minimum 4-6 wk absence, perhaps longer.
