StuckinFL Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-nick-baptiste-likely-make-season-debut-tuesday/ In injury news, Housley said defensemen Nathan Beaulieu (upper body) and Josh Gorges (lower body) have been skating and could start practicing later this week. Other injury updates from Housley: – Defenseman Zach Bogosian, out all season with a lower-body injury, has skated the past two or three days and is day-to-day. – Minute-munching defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. – Winger Justin Bailey is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. – Forward Evan Rodrigues, out all season with a hand injury, has been skating and is day-to-day. – Center Jacob Josefson is still week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

Randall Flagg Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 It's almost like when we piled on the last coach for playing Risto 27 per night because he couldn't handle it on the ice and maintain basic abilities and stamina over the course of a season, we were right...He was second in the NHL in minutes averaging over 27 per night once again, and handling it just as poorly, before he absolutely shockingly got hurt ("we didn't have other options" yet played far better defensively in the game he was out than the ones he played...)Dudacek's posts on the staff make me hopeful but there's still no excuse for this utter garbage player usage continuing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Rasmus leads the league in average TOI, but there are 15 players with an average TOI greater than 25 minutes. Half the league is using a player the way we use Risto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTS Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 What'd we do to deserve these defensive injuries. And what shaman do we need to find to make it stop. I blame the negative energy. ;) It's almost like when we piled on the last coach for playing Risto 27 per night because he couldn't handle it on the ice and maintain basic abilities and stamina over the course of a season, we were right... He was second in the NHL in minutes averaging over 27 per night once again, and handling it just as poorly, before he absolutely shockingly got hurt ("we didn't have other options" yet played far better defensively in the game he was out than the ones he played...) Dudacek's posts on the staff make me hopeful but there's still no excuse for this utter garbage player usage continuing He was used like this last year and didn't have this kind of injury. He's been pretty solid. His in game abilities might be hampered by playing so many minutes but I don't see the fact that he plays lot being a direct factor in being injured.

Brawndo Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Maybe one of the doctors can tell us. Internet tells me 3-4 weeks. This sounds about right. Only concern would be will it develop into a sports hernia, which may require surgery adding more time onto his recovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the league is using a player the way we use Risto. I'd be willing to bet he sticks out like a sore thumb on that list. Keith, Suter, Karlsson, Byfuglien, Pietrangelo, Letang, Weber, are my guesses for the guys that all play less than he does on that list --------------------------------- Wait - they told us what his injury is?? Is this the first time? We know ERod hurt his hand, but didn't it take us watching the video to deduce that before they finally told us? Is Risto the 4th Sabre now to be day-to-day and have that downgraded to week-to-week? What does that mean about our training staff, if anything? Why were they so wrong about Nylander, who was supposed to be back in training camp and just started skating for the first time in November, and Bogosian, who was also supposed to be back soon?

dudacek Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I doubt the Sabres training staff is messing up their diagnosis. It’s pretty clear Housley protects his roster information to the point of outright lying. Every single injured player has been Day-to-day at first.

Weave Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) I'd be willing to bet he sticks out like a sore thumb on that list. Keith, Suter, Karlsson, Byfuglien, Pietrangelo, Letang, Weber, are my guesses for the guys that all play less than he does on that list You're talking about a difference of a minute or less. And the number this week of guys over 25 min TOI is now up to 17, and it is all #1 D man type players, which Risto qualifies for on our team. More than half the league does this. It reminds me of the way we used to ride Zhitnik. Our D was thin then too, so Alex got the lion's share of the minutes.
