There are a few that are ripe to be called up. I'm not worried.... yet. I heard he's already partying in Boston with some guy named John. Im not surprised, considering that Mitts is already dating a Broin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Mittelstadt (upper body) remains without a definite timetable for his return to action, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports. Mittelstadt can be considered out indefinitely with his upper-body injury. The 22-year-old forward has gone scoreless through one game this campaign. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/sabres-casey-mittelstadt-no-timeline-for-return/ Could not find anything on Henri J 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 How do these injuries first diagnosed as day-to-day end up with players out weeks? Months? Are they diagnosing them wrong out of the gate? Are Sabres slow healers? This is the worst aspect of the Sabres to me, not just the injuries but the injuries to key players. I think you put Mitts and VO back on this roster and we're not looking near as bad as the current dip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you put Mitts and VO back on this roster and we're not looking near as bad as the current dip. The most likely explanation, to me, is that there are problems (flaws) with the timetables being offered by the team's physicians. And maybe that indicates that the diagnoses aren't always initially accurate, but maybe not -- maybe the estimated lengths of absence are just out of wack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 I also think the fact they aren’t more clear feeds the perception. Olofsson - “it’s just a precaution - soft tissue thing. We’ll see how he feels tonight.” That doesn’t really say anything, but it feeds the perception he’ not going to miss anything significant. Similar with Anderson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's frustrating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 It’s weird because these players aren’t hyped, but we’ve got some key injuries right now. Our leading scorer, our 1C, or 1 RHD and our starting goalie? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you put Mitts and VO back on this roster and we're not looking near as bad as the current dip. Agree with you. They've always been really weird with this, way weirder than the Jets over here and the other teams I've looked into. Someone got fired over Lehner, right? I feel like the team has been sketchy (protective?) with the injuries since. They do commonly call things "maintenance days" which quickly evolve into even long term injuries. I might trust Kevyn Adams to piece it all together but I actually am fairly skeptical of the medical staff and have been for a long time on a base level. 34 minutes ago, dudacek said: I also think the fact they aren’t more clear feeds the perception.

Our leading scorer, our 1C, or 1 RHD and our starting goalie? Aside from potentially VO, where we benefit is that the drop off to the next guy isn't steep imo. Injuries can never be an excuse, PARTICULARLY with this team which has no excuse not to game plan for the certainty of those injuries arising considering recent history. If a few injuries *do* derail a team, it's a depth issue. We shifted a RWer to camp to play C. Anderson is FOURTY. We have two right shot D on the roster. They were never going to be able to "withstand" injuries this year They weren't built to. Edited November 10, 2021 by Thorny 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallawaySabres Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 The games with Montreal and Ottawa will probably determine if Buffalo finishes 2nd worst or 4th worst in the league when it's all said and done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Any player that willingly sat out longer than they needed to, to help their team lose, isn't a player of the type of character we need to make this build work. Then again, Jack playing *through* a busted rib last season doesn't count as a mark of strong character, so what do i know 1 hour ago, Weave said: Shadow tank?

GASabresIUFAN Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Slightly off topic, but aren’t the players and the teams that employ them sick of wrist injuries to key players. It’s long past for the NHL to crack down on the stick fouls. It’s also time to get better equipment. When I played the gloves ran further up the wrist. Today’s do little to protect that area. Maybe’s it time to extend the glove or develop a strap on wrist protector. We have lost our top forward for months because of a cheap play that wasn’t even but should have been called a penalty. It’s just another example of more NHL BS. Edited November 11, 2021 by GASabresIUFAN 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they do a crappy job even cracking down on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
