Taro T Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Just now, GoPuckYourself said: He couldn't put any weight on it, it's either the achilles or a broken bone after looking up options, usually. But on the broadcast they said he DID put weight on it once he got to the tunnel. If a lateral ligament in the knee was injured, he may not have wanted the skate on the ice because any twisting of the knee would've been excruciating but straight ahead movement would've been fine. It also could be the ankle. (Your guesses are also valid at this time, too.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if it was his L or R Achilles that he was recovering from, but him doing that made me think he re-injured himself in the same spot.

Two or less Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 5 hours ago, Mr Peabody said: Chance of playoffs are nil. Put Olofsson in and boost his trade value as it’s obvious we aren’t keeping him. If that's the mindset then who cares about Olofsson, his value will always be small. Teams already have a large sample size to go by. Might as call up Kulich and let him learn defense on the fly. 2 hours ago, pi2000 said: Hope it's not the same achilles. I was concerned he came back too soon. Elliott Friedman last night during the 2nd intermission of the Vancouver game on HNIC said it wasn't achilles, it was his ankle. He said the Sabres will know how serious it is on Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely looked like an ankle or maybe knee. Hope it’s just a sprain and he’ll be back sooner than later. I can’t take anymore doom and gloom with this team especially with Quinn. Who’s probably my favorite player on this team rn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhenWillItEnd66 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 If he is out long term then KA needs to find a solution. Make a trade and get a scorer in here that he should have gotten during the summer! This team will not come close to making the playoffs as is. They need help and KA needs to get off his ass and do his damn job. Status quo is not progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas23 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I think if this was a re-injured Achilles, we would know by now. A torn Achilles can be easily diagnosed by physical exam and later confirmed by imaging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctaeth Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 1 hour ago, GoPuckYourself said: I would think Rosen. If they are choosing based on recent play, Rosen/Kulich might not be the choice. Both have gone on a bit of a cold streak relative to how they started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 If the Sabres don't have a prospect they can call up to take Quinn's spot then I don't want to hear another word about the Sabres prospects. Either they are worth playing.. or they are not. Time to sink or swim. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no sample size of VO playing for a better team. We’ve had a number of players leave and improve their play under different systems. I’m thinking the league looks at him and sees a cannon shot and weak points they can improve. A third line with a couple of strong forwards who play D would be worth a shot.

Yes of course, but then we'd end up with threads on measuring techniques, over vs. under, and length vs. girth, not to mention the analytics crowd taking over with graphs and charts on size vs. efficacy and performance levels in "high danger" areas. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The analytic crowd has a tendency to complicate the simple. They will start to talk about curvatures and bend rate. They will also have different categories for extended and not extended. It can get messy when this crowd gets involved. 🤡 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
