Injury Updates 2016/17 Season

[CallawaySabres]

So what is the word from last night?

[dudacek]

Kulikov, Bogo and Lehner nursing what are thought to be minor injuries.

Baptiste also hurt. I've not heard an update there.

[Thorner]

Baptiste is headed to the Amerks either way, as per reports. Lehner is back practicing.

 

So looks like we are dealing with minor injuries to Kulikov and (surprise!) Bogosian. Hopefully both are in the lineup opening day or we are in a world of hurt on the back end.

[CallawaySabres]

So what is wrong with Okposo?

[CallawaySabres]

With the lack of responses, I am assuming there is nothing to worry about here?

[ddaryl]

I dont think anyone has any good info about these injuries.. I'm concerned now that O'Reilly is dinged

He took a puck off his knee so they got an MRI and no one has said it is bad. Supposedly just a bruise and they wanted to keep him out for the Carolina games because it is preseason so no reason to not play it safe.

Also ROR with a lower body injury...  severity unknown cause its a LBI

 

Starting to look like a MASH unit before it even begins.

ROR supposedly tweaked a muscle in his lower body (leg) and so they kept him out to make sure he didn't hurt himself further.

No it is preseason so if a guy tweaks anything at all he sits. You don't run the risk of long term injuries in pre-season.

Bill Hoppe tweeted that ROR has spasms in back and mid section.

Is that serious?

[pi2000]

Bill Hoppe tweeted that ROR has spasms in back and mid section from playing floor hockey in dress shoes.

 

 

...fixed.

[CallawaySabres]

So what happened to Kulikov, is he going to be ready for the opener? If not, our D is going to be brutal for the start (unless Risto signs)

Has bruised tail bone, he was checked into the boards and unsecured door opened on him and his posterior caught the corner. Occurred in the 8-1 Loss vs Toronto

Does that mean Kulikov is practicing?

[LGR4GM]

No. Kulikov might start skating tomorrow.

I'm not sure you know what a MASH unit looks like

O'Reilly, Okposo, Kulikov, Bogosian, Baptiste, Catenacci. I'd by lying if I said I wasn't frustrated by the fact that lately seemingly every preseason camp involves a fair few Sabres injuries.

 

Is there anything to this? I suppose it's just bad luck. Not how we want to be heading into the season though.

 

Originally they said Bogosian's injury was minor. In that posted article, it's now said he's "begun skating alone". Seems so similar to last year with regards to him. Seems like there's a fair chance he won't be ready to start the year.

Maybe both the NHL and the NFL need to examine the war of attrition that is "training camp" and "preseason."

Almost certainly. Particularly the NFL. Just seems so long and gruelling.

Coach Bylsma: Kulikov, Bogosian & O'Reilly skated today. Good progression for #77 & #47. Rest has done Ryan well. Foligno under the weather.

 

Bill Hoppe

Kyle Okposo (bruised knee) is "uncertain" for the opener, Dan Bylsma said. #Sabres

[CallawaySabres]

So are we really looking at not having O'Reilly or Okposo for the opener?

[Brawndo]

Kulikov first player on the ice for practice this AM

Ryan O'Reilly is on the ice with the team for practice. Kulikov & Bogosian are here too.

 

 

Note: Kyle Okposo is not practicing but watching from the bench. Report is his knee is doing better but he might miss the opener.
