Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 I understand that the Sabres, like any other team, does not want to give out any details. Has there ever been an edict issued explaining where the Upper Body ends and the Lower Body starts? Presumably they are in the same place.

It’s funny cause the “upper” “lower” vagueness used to purely be a playoffs thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 I can't say I'm surprised since they had Savoie on the Tage line. If they thought Tuch would be ready to go they would have put a placeholder on that line and had Savoie skate with the linemates he'll be with tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quint Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 I'm concerned about Tuch and his longterm "soreness." What does this "longterm soreness" mean? It's been over a month since he was held out of some of the last pre-season games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Just something I've always wanted to ask aloud: "How many upper bodies does this guy have?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been over a month since he was held out of some of the last pre-season games. Though personally would consider groin lower body, pretty sure the league considers it upper body. His dealing with a groin injury that occurred while training in the off-season would explain why he's had something that's lingering and he can play through it at times and look as good as he did last year but also can't skate back the entire length of the ice on a backcheck. At any rate, if there is something they can do to get him back more consistently, they need to do it yesterday. He is the leader of the forwards and they do seem to feed off his energy and things seem off when he isn't in the lineup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quint Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Remember when Tuch was first traded to Buffalo, he sat out thirty games with shoulder surgery...the shoulder is "upper body" too... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is starting to sound like a dreaded sports hernia that they are trying to manage non-surgically but won't be right until he has surgery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb. This was started by Lindy Ruff in the playoffs 2006ish. I forgot who was injured at the time, but he didn’t want the other team targeting an area so he made up that term. Other teams quickly caught on. If the NHL doesn’t force them to disclose the exact nature of the injury, why would any team volunteer it?

Why the NHL deems this as some secretive thing I have no idea. It's irritating to the fans who want to know what is going on with the players and it really doesn't give any competitive advantage. Pretty obvious by watching someone for a minute or two warming up if there is an issue they are trying to hide from the opposing team.

It’s also the only of the 4 that legitimately has their officials call the game differently depending on regular/post season essentially creating two definitively different seasons during every singular. You need to construct a roster that’s adept at playing both the regular season version of the nhl and the playoffs version of the nhl.
