matter2003 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 That's definitely not a good sign--- Always seems Ruff is very touchy about saying anything for a few days about major injuries, and from the way he acted when asked the question it sounds like Max could be out a few months...I really hope not, but I am fearing the worst after hearing those comments from Ruff....

This one is even worse from Sabres.com.... "[Afinogenov, Derek Roy and Thomas Vanek] had been our best line," said Ruff. "Are we going to miss him? Darn right, we're going to miss him. But now it's somebody else's opportunity." Don't look for Max to be back anytime soon....aaargh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 well seeing as how tight to the cap they are, It is gonna be dificult for anyone to come up unless max is also put on IR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 If it is a LT-type injury, I think they won't waste any time in IR'ing Max, but with them already putting Timmay on the IR, that should give them some short-term cap flexibility to bring up Paille, Stafford, someone like that. The injury situation - Tallinder already out months and Max's status unknown - might prompt Darcy to make a move or two to free up some cap room.

DR HOLLIDAY Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I think they get some cap breaks if they need to pay other salaries because players are injured............I think that is the case......... :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frisky Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Losing Max is definitely a big loss of the team. But, it will be a test to show how resilient they can be and with Tallinder out as well, we will see if they show the same type of resilience as last year. It looks like Paille's break and chance to shine has come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan in MD Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Did anyone actually see what happened to Max? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Could it be reoccurring from the 2005 injury... Similar? Afinogenov led the Sabres last season with a career-high 73 points, including 51 assists. He missed five games in November because of bruised ribs.

hopeleslyobvious Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Did anyone actually see what happened to Max? They showed him get thrown into the boards on CBC, but they were not sure if that's when he got hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 They showed him get thrown into the boards on CBC, but they were not sure if that's when he got hurt. I picked up the "upper body" tag they use so often... Maybe ribs again... Broken??? Can't they slap a flak jacket on him?... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Listen to me, I am being such an arse, 13 games in an I am talking crap... :nana: :nana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LexLuthor871 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Separated shoulder. :censored: I think we'll be seeing Paille. Could even be a separated shoulder AND a concussion.

matter2003 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 It's definitely not a concussion. It's supposedly a separated shoulder which is 2-3 weeks out at best. Buffalo News is saying its likely a seperated shoulder....out 3 weeks---- Could have been worse, now its time for someone to step up... Isn't this around the same time last year where we lost Miller for a month or so?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffalOhio Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I don't think it was a clean hit at all. Looked like a hook under the arms to me, which spun Max to the ice and then into the boards. No call, of course. I saw Hecht get the same hook under the arms, then lose the puck behind Miller and soon it was a goal. I think the standards have been lowered, and it's really beginning to hurt our team.

inkman Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 This seriously screws with our line chemistry, although the way they have played the last three games one could argue it was needed. EDIT: We could really use timmy back, now :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePolishSabre Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I think we'll be seeing Paille. Why Paille? Stafford is better and plays RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 The fact of Stafford being better is up for debate, but this team knows how much work Paille has put in and don't think for a second that doesn't matter. Stafford is still young and I believe they are looking long term with him. Paille almost made the team from the onset so it almost seems inevitable that he gets first call-up.
