K-9 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Good. He'll be primed for our playoff run. GO SABRES!!!
inkman Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 I just want to wake up one day, and see have no recollection of The Skill or The Turnover.
SabresFan526 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 "Tim Connolly, who has been out since Nov. 15 because of a broken rib, isn?t expected to practice for at least two more weeks. The center, who is skating on his own, has missed 22 of the Sabres? 28 games." http://www.buffalonews.com/489/story/520780.html What is ridiculously frustrating and sad is that TC has 7 points in the only 6 games that he's played, which is more points than Gaustad, Tallinder, Rivet, Kaleta, and of course Peters. Why can't the Sabres just cut their losses and get a legitimate second line center instead of reminding all of us that The Skill continues to miss games? TC is the biggest tease of an NHL player I think I have ever seen. It's maddeningly frustrating.
nfreeman Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 There is no TC. There is only a mirage. A fantasy, a wisp of smoke that slips through your fingers when you try to hold it. In all seriousness, I've concluded that while he's great on the ice, every time he gets hurt (which is just about every time he plays), it's a punch in the stomach to the team, which is already pretty mentally fragile. It's just time to move on and stop thinking about how great it would be if only he could play regularly.
Kristian Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Who's this "Tim Connolly" anyways? Is that something like the Loch Ness monster, or Bigfoot?
carpandean Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 What's scary is that after looking at the schedule, if he doesn't even start practicing for another two weeks, he probably won't actually play for 3-4 weeks. It is quite likely that we will hit the mid-point of the season before he returns. Six games in the first half of a season?! :wallbash: I don't care if they "cut their losses" (honestly, I'm not sure there is any route to do this, since he is already on IR, freeing up his roster spot, and they can't unload his salary), but they have to acquire another top-two center somehow. Let Timmy be a bonus winger or bonus third-line center, but get somebody for that important top-two spot who can be there night in and night out.
darksabre Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Tim Connolly should never play another game as a Sabre if this team knows what is good for it.

SabreNod Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 "Tim Connolly, who has been out since Nov. 15 because of a broken rib, isn?t expected to practice for at least two more weeks. The center, who is skating on his own, has missed 22 of the Sabres? 28 games." http://www.buffalonews.com/489/story/520780.html TC really is a mystery. If he could stay healthy he has the skill to be a Top-5 assister in the league. But the frequency of his injuries can't just be bad luck - he either has a uniquely fragile build, or there's something wrong with his technique; that is, hit-absorbing technique. I think that's the most likely, but I also think he's still worth the risk. Maybe not the money given his missed games, but he's worth *close* to what he makes. I hope he's willing to give the sabres something back and extend on the cheap. His only hockey liability is health. He must be frustrated as hell.
