[Mit Yarrum]

Holy cow we're decimated

@BNHarrington

Nolan clarifies "week to week" on Myers: Could already be counting time missed. This weekend is possible. Better news. #Sabres

 

[B U F F A L O]

Looks like the injury bug has finally arrived, good timing for the tank!

 

[labbatt]

Any word on how Hackett is recovering? It'll be interesting to see where he ends up.

 

[joshjull]

@BillHoppeNHL: Marcus Foligno has surgery on his hand (presumably) the other day. Timeline is a month to two. #Sabres

He's sick as per Nolan in the post game presser.

@BuffaloSabres

Nolan: Strachan's pretty close, we'll see how he feels tomorrow. Meszaros a maintenance day. #Sabres

Nolan: Gionta is week-to-week. Foligno hopefully can return in about 6 weeks. #Sabres

@BuffaloSabres

Strachan will be ready to go tomorrow, Nolan says. #Sabres

 

[26CornerBlitz]

@BuffaloSabres

Nolan says Myers will play tomorrow night. "He's an anchor back there." McCormick questionable. Enroth to start. #sabres -CR

 

[LaxSabre]

@BuffaloSabres - Nolan says McCormick is a game-time decision. Stafford went home for family reasons so the team may skate 7 D tonight.

@BuffNewsVogl - The Sabres will be without Drew Stafford tonight. He went back to Buffalo for the birth of his first child.

[Paxon]

Weird. He's been playing all this time. Could explain why he's been so poor this season though.

 

[NEcoli]

Weird. He's been playing all this time. Could explain why he's been so poor this season though.

Reportedly he's been having significant problems with blurred/double vision, which for a goalie would be devastating.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Of course, this raises some important questions.

1) Why didn't the team staff, who knows his injury history, not catch it or be paying closer attention to it (certainly they had to be giving him regular vision testing, right?)?
2) Why did Lieuwen, knowing his own injury history, not report these symptoms to the team medical staff?

If these symptoms have been going on for quite some time, then there are serious breakdowns in communication and/or priorities.

If i had to guess. he knew the ramifications if it was concussion related. So he chose to fight through it hoping it would clear up.

Perhaps, but it is still creating a dangerous situation. Guys gotta put their health first.

Guys gotta put their health first.

Much easier said than done.

Sabres center Cody McCormick is in the hospital with a blood clot in his leg and is out indefinitely, coach Ted Nolan says.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

@BuffaloSabres

#Sabres Captain Brian Gionta is getting closer to return, but he can't offer a timetable just yet. In his own words: http://goo.gl/vfqWG7

Torrey Mitchell is just about ready to return to the lineup. His comments after practice today: http://goo.gl/MbfTrw

BUF:
All D-men and goalies healthy.
Mitchell, Gionta close.
McCormick out indefinitely.
Foligno out.

Rochester (notables only):

Stewart is ill according to the Dalpe/Varone recall thread.

 

[Chainshot]

That's a lot of NHLers out of what wasn't a good roster to begin with. Hopefully McCormick's clot issue clears up safely. That sort of stuff scares the hell out of me.
