[Sabre Dance]

Didnt take long to get the lineup we all wanted. Stafford for Foligno soon Im predicting.

Leino will be out long term with a cracked rib

Leino will be out long term with a cracked rib

Yeesh. That guy can't buy a break, and if anyone could afford to he could

 

[AirBriere48]

When the hell did this happen? He played the whole game. Maybe that's why he sucked so bad - he literally coughed the puck up every time he had it on his stick.

It can be hard to know if you have a cracked rib or a bad bruise when you have the adrenaline flowing and the gear on. Doesn't surprise me that he played through it and discovered the crack afterwards.

1st period

Paul Hamilton ‏@pham1717 28s

Leino broke his rib in the first period, but kept playing

 

[Mit Yarrum]

Addition by subtraktion. I remember a time when I was really excited over getting Leino...

I never wish for a player to be injured, but as far as the team goes, I think this is great news. It's too bad for Leino though. He can never get on track.

Stay on topic (injuries only), thanks.

 

[couture23]

Typical Leino, wonder how long he'll actually be out. Months?

 

[sabrefan27]

Worth noting, too, that the Sabres have basically nothing in Rochester at forward that are viable call ups. Luke Adam is the next call up. After that, take your pick between Varone, Catenacci or one of the vets.

Well a guy like Foligno should be ready in a week. Then you have guys like Armia and Tropp in a month.

We scratched two Forwards last night anyway so we don't have to dip any further into Rochesters depth... yet.

"Yet" being the operative word.

For a cracked rib? Probably three weeks in the regular season, one week in the playoffs. You can tape it during a game if need be. However since it is the beginning of the season probably non contact in a week or two, and playing in a month.

Current NHL injury list shows 92 injuries:

I don't see what the big deal is at this point.
They have Larsson - arguably the best forward in camp.
Scott could go if need be.
Foligno should be back soon.
Adam is a viable call-up and has played okay for short stretches when motivated. You guys hate him in Rochester anyways.
This is a rebuilding organization, so what's wrong with calling up a Catenacci or Varone?
The vets are an option as well

I really don't see all the need for the handwringing RWB

 

[Woodhouse]

Tallinder (UBI) to be evaluated.

 

[Mit Yarrum]

Tallinder (UBI) to be evaluated.

He left the ice in the 2nd (?), but returned for what I thought was the rest of the game. Any idea what the issue is?

Not sure on the specifics, but he left with five minutes remaining in the second and then skated a shift in the dying seconds of the period to test the issue. He then skated just three shifts for 1:27 TOI in the third.

That sucks. I thought he looked pretty good.

Me too, I was happy with his play.

Miller (LBI):

But the Sabres needed another goalie after starter Ryan Miller (lower body) was injured in Friday’s 1-0 loss to Ottawa.

Sabres general manager Darcy Regier said Miller’s injury is “nothing serious, just minor.”

“It’s very short-term in nature,” he said.

 

[Wisent42]

Injury bug striking early this year.

 

[SackTastic]

Miller (LBI):

Probably a sore lower back for carrying an entire team for two games.

Funny, but sad at the same time

 

[Wisent42]

But seriously: We lost Foligno, Zadorov, Armia and Tropp during pre-season. We are now two (2!) games into the regular season and have to add Leino, Tallinder and Miller to the list. And this, the "injury bug" has been haunting us for years. It can't be all bad luck. Maybe it's time to evaluate practice schedules, trainers, everything.
