Ruff on 'GR this morning: Zucker hasn't eaten solid food in 9 days!

[PromoTheRobot]

Ruff speaking with the morning show, discussing a viral ailment Zucker is dealing with. Hasn't eaten solid for in 9 days, lost a lot of weight, doctors still haven't figured out what it is exactly. Even when he's over it, the weight loss and weakness will take a long time to overcome. Oy vey.

I can't link this interview from my phone but it's in the 9am hour of today's show.

The hockey gods are enacting discipline for such a hapless franchise 

[Ctaeth]

I feel for Zucker & all the other players that are out... but it's getting comical at this point

[Pimlach]

They finally find a veteran that wants to help this mess of a franchise, can still play the game, that keeps a cool head, and that can play on any of the top 3 lines and fit in. 

And now this.

Adams was hired as an assistant coach in August 2011 (after the Sabres made their run to the playoffs ... and lost v. Leino).

They have been cursed ever since.

Clearly, the only fix is to fire Adams and eliminate him entirely from the franchise. Pegula needs to sacrifice his friend to the hockey gods.

I haven’t been able to hold down solid food since watching these bums take the ice opening night

eeesh.. my brother-in-law just got discharged from the hospital with viral meningitis... he's lost a ton of weight, barely can move, needs a walker, etc. It sounds like Zucker is experience is along the same lines. I'm not saying its viral meningitis by any means, but whatever he's got is pretty damn serious.

[Palm Trees And Taxes]

Terrible news to hear that Zucker is going through that, hoping they find out what it is.

It's hard to get mad at this team right now considering all that is happening

Injuries are never an excuse when it comes to sports but come on, this is over the top.

There is a sublte difference between an 'excuse' and a 'reason'.

One should shy away from using them as an 'excuse', meaning to excuse their poor performance.

However, in evaluating 'what went wrong', they can be brought up as a reason to not be discarded.

I sometimes find it hard to keep food down when watching this team.

I mean Ruff seems to be at the heart of this going back to McKee having an infection from not washing his equipment/socks or whatever it was in Game 7 of Carolina and it's been all down hill from there.

It's Ruff's fault McKee's shin pads weren't clean?  Really?

Seems pretty obvious that he just watched a Sabres game. That's exactly how I feel when doing it.

9 days? That's crazy. Doctors haven't figured it out? Stuff with this team just gets weirder and weirder.

I’d imagine most team doctors have specialties that mostly focus on Sports Medicine as well as a guy who does concussions and the like.

I doubt their immediate staff has doctors that specialize in sudden unusual blood clots or serious viral illnesses. Those would likely require the player to be sent to a specialist.

If Zucker needs an ENT or a Hematologist, he's getting into one probably that day or next.... The team docs 1000% have connections...Buffalo actually does have a good subspecialty force as well for being a "smaller" city. The fact that he probably has seen said specialist and still have no diagnosis concerns me a bit more. 

[PerreaultForever]

Yes, I would think they get to the front of the line or go to the private clinic or whatever.
