Big time suckarooski.

[cdexchange]

:cry:

[wjag]

That hurts... Guy has managed to stay healthy even though he isn't the prototypical size for a hockey player. I guess it was just a matter of time..

[bob_sauve28]

Wow, that's really tough. But, bot like it will make any difference in this year.

Now the Sabres have an excuse in their mind when they miss the playoffs.

[Stoner]

"apparent left knee injury"

 

I like Harrington, but, Mike, please stop trying to be Bucky.

 

That said, if it gets the Sabres closer to the top pick, it might not be a bad thing. Of course I feel bad for Derek.

 

Now, given how Miller seems to be having trouble getting around the crease, let's get this guy on injured reserve too and go for the gold!

[carpandean]

So ... Larsson (would pair nicely with Myers), Couturier (the big #1 center that we all want) or Nugent-Hopkins (quick and talented center)?

[Weave]

Bad news for Roy. Good news for Luke Adam.

 

This is going to make watching Sabres games even harder. I just hope I don't hear about Roy's injury as an excuse for missing the playoffs at seasons' end.

Let's just hope Connolly is back before we have to resort to watching that slow teddy bear skate

[biodork]

Ah, crap. Wasn't even planning on getting online today but this is the first thing I saw when I went to SabreSpace. :cry:

 

I agree with weave - this team has used injuries as an excuse far too much and I don't want them doing "tweaks" again this offseason rather than the overhaul that is needed. GD, now we're missing both our top centers and that is the position where we have the least depth. Vanek, if ever there was a time to step up and be a leader, now is it!!!

LOL dude the Sabres aren't God's gift but they aren't the Bills... don't carry over that mentality on to this board. That made me me chuckle though hahaha :-)

[NowDoYouBelieve]

Wow, Merry Christmas Sabres fans, huh? Team is doing awfully and now one of our players who WASN'T underachieving is done for the season (one out of what? 3?).

[JJFIVEOH]

What's this team-imposed roster freeze? I don't get all the BFLO news, did I miss something?

[deluca67]

You're right, the Bills are at least willing to make moves.

 

This is a bad injury, but as others have said, it doesn't change their playoff fortunes at all. They weren't going to make it to the playoffs with Roy.

 

This is a point where players like Grier, Hecht and Gaustad need to be moved for prospects and picks. It's time to load up on assets for the future. It might be time to start floating Miller's name around the league and see what he can fetch you in return.

[CallawaySabres]

10 points behind Rangers and 8 behind Boston (who have 2 games in hand) - I would say after last nights loss, this really was not big news (or should I say season changing). Losing to Florida twice and Tampa all in the same week really made the Roy news pretty ho hum in my book....

I agree. Time to blow it up. But start at the top because I don't trust my team in Regiers hands.

[X. Benedict]

I'm usually slow to raise the white flag.

 

But it is at three quarter staff and getting higher.

Amen to that.

They make a pill for that.

The team is apparently/reportedly/allegedly for sale. I don't see how the blowing up process takes place before the team is sold.

It's a blue pill. It's called Cryuncla.

I don't think it is necessarily a problem. If both parties see it as a good. It's like resurfacing the driveway before the house is sold.

Driveway? I hope the new owner is willing to fix the cracks in the foundation of this franchise. Status Quo is the black mold of this house that Golisano built. Any new owner is going to have a hell of job ahead of them. This team is nowhere near being a contender.
