Mitts is precautionary, per Granato's post-game.

Sounds like Tage is dealing with his back because he "threw it" against Arizona. Might be able to go in Vegas.

 

[BFLO]

Granato said Mittelstadt, who played just 4 minutes, 59 seconds, possibly left the game as a precaution. He said he will know more today.
Mittelstadt returned from an upper-body injury last week, his second this season. Sunday was just his seventh game.
“We knew (playing) back-to-back would be tough,” Granato said. “It was unfortunate he wasn’t comfortable in the moves he was trying and then probably pulled out early because of precaution.”

Sabres medical staff is insane. If Mitts isn't healthy enough to play a back to back game, then don't play him at all! This isn't rocket science. Let whatever it is heal completely. If there was a Cup at stake, by all means play him, but we're battling for 28-29th place.

You're assuming the Sabres medical staff made the call, if it's a pain management/soreness/fatigue issue then it was probably his call. Hockey players by nature will try and push through and play through that stuff.

Mitts said that it was his choice to not get surgery after the first injury.

Players have always been a part of medical decisions, especially when it comes to whether a player thinks they can play through pain. The VO situation and now the Mitts situation include back and forth between the players involved and the medical and training staff.

Plus, you had the unexpected COVID issues. They may have given Mitts the Avs game off if they weren't dealing with the COVID issues.

Sabres Organization Injury Thread 2021/22: They're all dead or injured. All of them.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Sabres: Mitts was taken out as a precaution, we’ll know more soon.

also sabres: Mitts died

 

[stokes84]

Should’ve known Mitts couldn’t hold up in the NHL

Behold how the Sabres evaluate injuries:

It's cheaper than a doctor and relies on self reporting.

Only real explanation for them clearing Mittelstadt only for him to be injured 2 games later multiple times.

Mitts "chatting" with the team doctors and his surgeon:

I take it you've never been cleared of an injury and then immediately retorn the same area, as it's not especially uncommon.

So what is going on here with Mitt's, a shoulder that's popping out pre and now post surgery ? That's not good if so!

Not uncommon for athletes, but ANOTHER bad look for Sabres medical staff if so.

I had 5 surgeries on my right shoulder within 2yrs at Bethesda. The first 2 were done by Clinton's ortho. I'd rehab, it'd feel right then a wrong twist or weight applied and lose all feeling taking me back to square one

My neighbor had 2 replacements (retired from Chevy), he's out there every storm pushing his snow blower around, case dependent I'm sure.

I'm guessing they need to shut Casey down and really strengthen it for next season. But that's a big question mark for Sabres management now on already short center organization.

One REALLY wonders whats going on in the organization.

Not sure if it is his shoulder since the word shoulder was redacted from the only article that mentioned shoulder. Remember when we all thought it was his wrist after he was slashed? They better do a complete workup on him before they break out the surgical instruments. When things don't heal properly in young adults there's often some other issue and it can be very serious.

I hope your feeling better now.

I hope your feeling better now.

Shoulder still screwed and that's from the late 90s. Now, off of crutches so able to chase the girls again until I move to Thailand on medical visa for knee replacement

Hang in there cowboy, I'm sure I have two of those coming up down the road too.

Got an x-ray done on the wrong knee one time, that was weird. Thought it was, like, for comparison? Nope, they just totally goofed. Anyways those guys work for the Sabres now, good for them.

Seriously though, it sucks thinking “they should just shut Casey down for the year”- then he’s back- then maybe I was right after all. I just hope the kid comes back healthy, he looks so good whenever he comes into the lineup but clearly whatever it is ain’t right yet- just hope playing doesn’t make it worse/more complicated.
