Well, duh.

(It's been one of my favorites because the two "it hurts a little bit..." and "it hurts a little more..." smiles seem to be enjoying themselves quite a bit.)

Safe word?

Jake McCabe avoids serious injury after leaving Tuesday's loss to Edmonton - Jay Skurski - Buffalo News - Wednesday, March 2 - BuffaloNews.com

Jake McCabe looked worse than he felt Wednesday.
The Buffalo Sabres' defenseman sported a shiner on his left eye and cuts both below and above it – the result of a hit that McCabe actually delivered Tuesday night.
McCabe laid out Oilers forward Nail Yakupov in the third period, but took the worst of the collision when Yakupov's helmet came up and hit McCabe in the face.
"He tried to cut to the middle and I hit him and as you can see on my face, his helmet went right in my head and just kind of shocked me a little bit," McCabe said.
"But I came back in here and passed all my concussion tests and no symptoms since, so all is well."

‏@JaySkurski - With Jake McCabe available, the Sabres have six healthy defensemen practicing. Cody Franson remains out, as do Ryan O'Reilly and Tyler Ennis.

Someone should send Ennis to go see the guy in this article - http://www.theplayerstribune.com/adam-estoclet-hockey-concussion/

Any update on Franson's "jaw" injury?

 

[EichHart]

Any update on ROR? I really want him to come back to get 20 goals and 55+ pts.

 

[Tyler Durden]

I was also going to ask about updates on ROR? Will he be back this time next week?

Jaw and neck my ass. It's spelled "concussion".

Ennis read to a group of kindergartners yesterday, so at least he's out and about. Making public appearances probably wasn't on his schedule a few weeks ago.

I liked one person's tweet that if he didn't get a headache after spending 20 minutes with a class of screaming five-year-olds, he should be deemed to have passed NHL concussion protocol. So true.

Bylsma said defenseman Cody Franson (neck) is progressing “slightly and slowly†and worked out off the ice today. He’s also said winger Tyler Ennis (concussion) has taken small steps recently. He hopes they play again this season.

It could be a whiplash-esque neck thing...

I mean, with only 12 games remaining, it doesn't exactly seem likely that Ennis will make a return.

Maybe RoR will get a game or two.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Any chance ROR comes back this week or at least next week?

I think he might start practicing with the team early this week?

O’Reilly was able to fully participate during today’s 90-minute session inside the First Niagara Center. The NHL All-Star could play Wednesday when the Sabres host Montreal.

“I was hoping to play last game,†O’Reilly said. “That was kind of my goal.â€
