WildCard Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) @BuffaloSabres 19m19 minutes agoCoach Bylsma says Weber has been sent back to Buffalo to be evaluated. Could be more than day-to-day. No plans to call up a D-man right now. Edited November 11, 2015 by WildCard Quote

WildCard Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Posted November 11, 2015 Let's get Bogo back to replace him. If only The good news is, Col looked more than capable of replacing Weber last night. The bad news is, an already thin blue-line just got thinner Quote
Doohickie Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 If they're not calling anyone up it might mean that Bogo is, in fact, very close to playing. Quote
Taro T Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 If they're not calling anyone up it might mean that Bogo is, in fact, very close to playing. That would be great. It also could mean that they'd rather use Deslauriers on D & give Schaller ice time up front in an emergency rather than making a Ra-cha-cha team that's won a few lately play minus another D-man that'll just sit in the Sabres' pressbox barring emergency.

Could be Deslauriers too. Yet another reason I love that guy. So versatile. Quote

Stads Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 Does LBI in his case stand for "lackadaisical brain-fart inopportunely" or "limited by inability"? Quote
Weave Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 I'll say it. I don't want to see Des on defense. As far as I am concerned, he's an emergency guy. he wasn't going to develop into an NHL D man, hence the switch to LW. Quote

Huckleberry Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 If they're not calling anyone up it might mean that Bogo is, in fact, very close to playing. From what I read lately I presumed he would be ready after the florida games. Quote
Doohickie Posted November 12, 2015 Report Posted November 12, 2015 From what I read lately I presumed he would be ready after the florida games. I got that impression too, but I also had the impression he was close before and he always seems to have a setback or relapse or bender or whatever. Quote

As far as I am concerned, he's an emergency guy. he wasn't going to develop into an NHL D man, hence the switch to LW. I can't find the video but there was a presser with Bylsma from right around the start of the season where a reported asked him if there was a possibility we'd ever see D-LO brought in to play defense if they needed him to and the coach's reaction was an emphatic "no". If they're not calling anyone up it might mean that Bogo is, in fact, very close to playing. I'm not convinced that he'll be back before Kane...last update we have from DB is “He’s doing well, on progression, building a foundation. There is a date when you will see him. Eventually, you will see it come to fruition.” which, to me, sounds vague. "There is a date when you will see him" could mean anything. edit: my stance on him not being back before Kane is MOSTLY sarcasm. Edited November 12, 2015 by mustacheofgod Quote

You're probably right of course, but in a pinch I could see Des get some shifts on D. If a D goes down in practice, they play Schaller in Des's spot and Deslauriers plays D.

Eventually, you will see it come to fruition.” which, to me, sounds vague. "There is a date when you will see him" could mean anything. edit: my stance on him not being back before Kane is MOSTLY sarcasm. Agree. Sounds vague to me too. Not even just vague, but intentionally so. But a few days have passed since then and maybe Bogo is pulling it together. Edited November 12, 2015 by The Big Johnson Quote

Well it's shifted to "maybe." The team will not call up a defenseman for Thursday’s game. Bylsma said they can use Nick Deslauriers in an emergency. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 I like Weber, always have. He is mean. Maybe, just maybe, there isn't a place for him anymore. Quote

WildCard Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Posted November 13, 2015 @BuffaloSabres 6m 6 minutes ago Coach Bylsma says good to see Bogosian back with team, still day-to-day. Weber is having surgery due to lower-body injury, week-to-week. Quote
LGR4GM Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 Bill Hoppe @BillHoppeNHL 7s7 seconds ago Mike Weber is having knee surgery, is week-to-week. #Sabres Quote
