Norcal Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Ok so Jack Quinn has had another unfortunate injury that appears to be serious enough to keep him out for another portion of the season. This sucks for JQ because he has been really good since he came back this season. Feel free to post any updates here. Let's hope he's back sooner than later. The team is on break for All Star weekend and players won't be moved for a couple weeks so who replaces Quinn in the lineup if he cannot return by Feb 6th? Tired: Olofsson, I'm tired of him. He's tired of Buffalo. Wired: Kulich has wired alot of pucks with his buddy Rosen in their Rochester basement. Bring him up and play him enough to get acclimated.

K-9 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 I hate to say it, but given what I’ve seen of Kulich so far in the A, his D game makes VO look like a Selke contender. He’s just not close to being ready for the show, imo. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kulich has work to do on D but it's time to see if he really has that NHL shot. Him and Rosen should get time on Quinns line w Peterka and Cozens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just not close to being ready for the show, imo. He's only one guy. And he probably won't get as many minutes according to how Granato inserts new guys. His defensive "liabilities" shouldnt be that much of a hindrance. Side question, if not Kulich, then who do you call up? If this Kulich guy has big time offensive chops, call him up. Go for broke. Safe should be out the window. The Sabres need to win right now Or Make a TRADE 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 So THIS is why Adams was looking to get Kane in. It wasn't to cover for Quinn's 1st injury, it was for his next injury. 4D chess indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone tell me why he obviously sucks like I heard for half the year? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he does give him higher skilled line mates, are those guys also seeing limited minutes as a result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not suggesting Kulich get called up, but if he is called up, he probably ends up on one of the 3 offensive lines taking a regular shift but then gets 2 shifts tops in the 3rd if the Sabres have a tight lead. So, it likely doesn't affect his linemates' ice time at all. Edited January 28 by Taro T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would do, if I was Granato, and I did indeed call up Kulich, I'd put him right where Jack Quinn was. Same line. That Savoie call up was pointless. Three minutes total, waste of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Peabody Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Chance of playoffs are nil. Put Olofsson in and boost his trade value as it’s obvious we aren’t keeping him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Hope it's not the same achilles. I was concerned he came back too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottysabres Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 To bad about Quinn, he's a good one. Was hoping to see him finish the season strong then come back next year even better. These injuries I'm sure are frustrating to him. Heal up young man, your needed back in the trenches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to the question was 'No.' Wtf do you need the answer spelled out in a post, when the reaction allows it to be answered with 2 clicks? Well, to answer your question, NO we do not know how serious the injury is. Truly doubt the Sabres even know yet as you usually don't do MRIs / ultrasounds until a couple of days later after swelling has gone down. Happy? 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always have viewed the green check mark as a "yes" and the red X as a "no." If they are viewed in that light, they are FAR more flexible and useful. Because 'yes' can also be a very brief 'agree with you here' and 'no' can also be a very brief 'nope, we are in disagreement.'
