Crap….more Bryson I guess.  I hope they give Ryan Johnson a look

The Sabres and Bills could both move down from the pros to paralympic sports tonight, and tmrw their new rivals would still be talking about how injury bit these teams are

I mean at this point how can you NOT ask what in the flying ***** that strength and conditioning coach is doing?

What does that have to do with getting hit by a puck?

If you clench your butt cheeks at just the right moment, no puck can hurt you. Every decent strength and conditioning guy knows that.

Fair enough, was guilty of reacting without seeing it as I was in Bridgeport watching the Amerks.

Is that what it was? Blocked a shot off the foot sort of thing? Maybe broke a bone?

What is the record for the most manned lost games in a season by players who are projected to be regulars? 

I'm guessing at some point there was some team that went through crazy injuries that has an unreal number... But this sabers team might be approaching the top 10 of that list.

I was hoping we would put in a claim for Stecher. Right shot, 31 year old veteran, D, makes under $800k, has been a stabilizer for some young players, including Power at the World’s back before Power was drafted.  Hard to imagine he would not have been a better depth piece than Geertsen, who despite the Sabres having catastrophic levels of man-games lost, can’t get into a game.

This list of injuries is ridiculous. You figure most hockey injuries are day to day but the Sabres have a run of longer term ones that seems to last a couple weeks or more

I guess it's where you are drawing the line. If it's for a season you're looking at season ending injuries.  We have not lost anyone for 82 games like Florida. For this time in the season we have lost a lot. The Avalanche had a ton of injuries to start last year. Probably on par with what we are going through. I don't know the answer but they came to mind and it's probably happened to most teams at one time or another.

He definitely took a shot off his lower leg.

If it’s broke, see you at the end of January. 

[MDFan]

It did not look good at the time.  I could not tell if the puck hit his ankle or a bit higher but he went down like he was shot and he could not put any weight on it.

Kulich has blood clots, Zucker a virus, Dahlin had a LOA because of his fiancé, Kesselring blocked a shot. I don’t get this dumping on the Strength coach narrative I’ve seen for a couple weeks.

When a fan base doesn't like something, the urge is there to place blame. 

If when you think about something logically and there is no blame to be placed, the fan base will find the easiest place, the path of least resistance. Blame must be placed.

For fvck's sake. 

Can we just play a game where someone doesn't get seriously injured??

[Crusader1969]

The issue isn't that one of the six dmen are hurt.  I'd imagine most teams are down 1 dman this time of the season.  The issue is the 7th guy is Bryson. 
You'd think a GM who is in the final year of his job would be a little more desperate to make an upgrade

I wish they kept Bernard-Docker instead.  It’s ridiculous they let him walk and chose to overpay Bryson as their first signing objective.
