Spoonman Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 (edited) Hopefully!? We need his face off dot expertise. Per Puckpedia: Carrick (arm) is not expected to be back in time to play in Buffalo's first-round series versus Boston, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports. Est. Return: May 9, 2026 (Game 3 or 4?) Estimates provided by RotoWire and subject to change. Edited May 2 by Spoonman 1 Quote
Slack_in_MA Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 Agree. Getting him back would be huge if he’s somewhere north of 85-90%. 2 Quote
quill Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 Carrick was playing some awesome playoff style hockey for us before he was injured. From the first time he stepped on the ice as a Sabre he added an extra element of excitement to our game. Can't wait till he's fully recovered and back on the ice. 2 3 Quote
Punch Posted May 3 Report Posted May 3 Per Joe Yerdon last week, Carrick has a dressing stall setup in the locker room again and he's no longer wearing a sling. On Friday evening on WGR, Bulldog said he heard from a trusted source at the time of the injury Carrick could return by the ECF but inferred it could change. 1 1 Quote

Wyldnwoody44 Posted May 3 Report Posted May 3 Not sure a guy with an arm/shoulder injury is going to be the same reliable faceoff guy. Maybe if he's 90% or more, but I'm skeptical 3 Quote
Alaska John Posted May 3 Report Posted May 3 (edited) Why put a player who's not fully healthy on the ice when you've got more than enough healthy players now? I look forward to Carrick's return whenever he's really ready, By the way, any news on Östlund? Edited May 3 by Alaska John 1 Quote

Second Line Center Posted May 3 Report Posted May 3 No. Not close. I expect both are done for the season with Carrick maybe if we get thru to the Finals. 1 Quote

Big Guava Posted May 3 Report Posted May 3 (edited) Apparently not 😐 With each new round, his loss looks larger and larger. Edited May 3 by Big Guava Quote

muppy Posted May 3 Report Posted May 3 well the decision on wether Östlund or Carrick are ready to play is of course very much anticipated news. I would think if a status was going to change it won't be until the last minute If they can play great. if not next man up. It's professional sports 101 and they will manage accordingly Injuries suck. we have no choice but to trust the medical staff and status So we are now officially on countdown mode until Wednesday game day my plan is to deep spring clean the next 3 days to burn off excess energy and at the end a Sabres playoff game AND a cleaner house lol Win Win GO SABRES 1 Quote
