Good news with Quinn getting on the ice in late-October, but plenty of hurdles left to go obviously.

I absolutely despise how this coaching staff/franchise is so maddeningly vague when it comes to injury. Like, c'mon. I get that you don't want to tip off opposing players that a guy's knee is injured........but hell, at least be honest with timelines.

Or at least give us an "I don't know", instead of "he's day to day" and "It's nagging"

Hopefully we don't next hear "week-to-week".

Hopefully Comrie isn’t out too long. Two injured goalies is no good.

if that was his groin, it may be a while. Isn't that what took him down last season?

 

[oldgoalie]

just posted (link was broken):
We have recalled goaltender Devin Cooley from the Rochester Americans.

Comrie update from anyone?

[dasaybz]

Hmm some Saberz twitter guy said the Sabres broke him though.

Thought last year was a knee injury.

Thanks Chain. I wasn’t sure.

 

[toddkaz]

Damn Comrie was playing lights out. We can never have nice things

Wonder if this is a sports hernia or groin thing for Benson?

Glad Levi's back on the ice. Can't count the number of times during the drought that they've said a guy's day to day and suddenly he's out for like a month

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

He should go to the Amerks for a conditioning stint

Pure speculation - I wonder if they’re playing a game with Benson and Savoie. Don’t want to send them down and don’t want to burn a year. So they’re extending it as long as possible. I assume we see a 9 game try out here for Savoie.

Benson gets healthy right around when Savoie's 14 days are up, Savoie (who is playing well in ROC) comes up and gets 9, Benson does 2 weeks in ROC, mix in a couple healthy scratches and WJs and boom, Quinn is back.

 

[HOOats]

Comrie mistakenly listed as a UBI in the title, just a heads up. Also Levi's probably back to healthy.

I don't think Quinn is that close. When asked if he was skating, Granato's remarks made it seem he has not yet begun any type of significant on-ice training. I'm sure he's doing what he can, but he really needs to get back on the ice and start from square one.

No doubt a couple more months. I'm guessing early to mid January. Maybe the 2 kids don't make it that far but it fills a gap for a month and a halfish. At that point maybe you get a mid season Kulich up for a few games and a better read on Quinn.
