Why is it a joke? If the guy is hurt, he needs to heal up and get right. You don't mess around with injuries, especially when it's one of your top prospects. I think people literally have no patience anymore with this team, and it's totally understandable ...

I don't believe anyone is saying to rush injuries, here.
The question is why are the details of Nylander's injury, like that of Bogosian, so secretive?
Now there may be a reason why they are, like with Okposo.
Point being until they announce (hopefully) that these are treatable short term injuries, we are going to think the worst, in all likelyhood.

The joke is more of the either intentional misinformation given by the Sabres or by just being flat out wrong with the diagnosis.

The secrecy surrounding hockey related Sabres injuries - Bogosian, Nylander - is unwarranted and an insult to fans. I get it if it's mental illness related or an illness to the player or family member but that's not what's going on here. These are hockey injuries, bones, joints, muscles and we as fans who support this team financially have a right to some information.

I agree. Nylander and Malone were supposed to be back for camp. Not even close for either. Falk was supposed to be day to day. He’s been out for several weeks. Bogosian was also day to day. He’s been out for weeks and doesn’t appear any closer. I get being wrong about an injury here or there, but they’re intentionally misleading and I don’t like it.

Nylander's extended absence indicates that it simply wasn't a bruise or mild grade LBI, like the staff had led on with their "precautionary" comments before medical downgraded him to week-to-week. It's been six weeks and that can still be on the early timeline for recovery from hip flexors, groins, knees, ankles, etc. I wouldn't expect to hear anything until he gets the go-ahead to start skating again with how they're relaying injury information.

We pretty much have to assume he re-injured or re-aggravated something at this point, don't we? Especially when you throw in the whole "how were they able to send him down?" question.
I'm still thinking of the "are you ready" conversation printed in the article prior to the start of the rookie camp. In light of injury, it takes on a different tone than just is he prepared.

He's just recently escaped the upside-down and will return later this season when he's learned the value of family and how to tap into his anger to amplify his powers.

I was listenen to Hockey Central and they had a discussion about how some higher IQ players are better in the NHL than in the AHL. Mainly because your team mates know what they are doing in the show.
I believe Alex is going to one of those players. The quicker we can get him into the NHL the better. We need his playmaking ability and shot. I still think he is going to be a key winger fir us going forward.

Alex needs to show he knows where to go and what to do before he returns for NHL action. Right now, the opportunity for advancement into the bigs is purely on his shoulders -- get healthy, get into the lineup, do what Tails asks and produce. Simple but not necessarily easy.

Based on the timing, this seems like it really might have been the dreaded high ankle sprain. If the Sabres didn't have bad luck...

Uh... he's been practicing for 10 days? And the news is from the AP? Isn't anyone from the Rochester D&C covering this team anymore? Or are their sports writers just paid to take pot shots at the Bills on Twitter these days?
Hoping we get a few more televised Amerks games in the 716.
