CallawaySabres Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 Literally the WORST possible sports update the fans could get...including the timing of it
Stoner Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Posted October 12, 2016 Maybe don't browse the internet at work then. :devil:
Drunkard Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 The emo vibe is growing ever stronger in this thread. Maybe I should sell razor blades instead.
beerme1 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 Remain calm. If an update comes out with really bad news, PANIC!
Eleven Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 Is this where one comes for group therapy? I'm literally devastated. The events that led up to this for me are so surreal. Someone texted me asking what's going on with all the Sabres injuries? I thought he meant O'Reilly, Okposo, Kulikov, Bogosian, etc. The next notification on my phone was a twitter friend who messaged me, "Eichel is down." My heart dropped through my arse. :cry: Really frustrated about the Bills fans comparing this to Shaq Lawson, Reggie Ragland and Sammy Watkins...they were never expected to carry their team and be the superstar. (Maybe Sammy, to an extent.) My only hope is that this does not effect his future...McDavid hurt his collarbone, hardly an issue, I've done that and it never made a difference in me playing football or hockey when it happened. But, an ankle...for an explosive hockey player? That worries me. This is probably the worst possible news we could get the day before the season opener. It's just downright heartbreaking stuff. Someone talk me off the ledge...because I truly don't think this team can withstand this kind of loss. Let's just see what happens. Stay on the ledge for now. One of us will push you off when the time comes.
3putt Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 It's temporary besides not being able to alter the facts, will force us to rally behind the rest of the team. It is a long season and we have no idea how long he will be out.
Randall Flagg Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 Hey Josie, you don't suck. I love the picture. Well, I hate the reason it exists, but it captures my feelings perfectly. Part of me is bracing for him missing the season, and another part fully expects him back before game 5.
pi2000 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 It's temporary besides not being able to alter the facts, will force us to rally behind the rest of the team. It is a long season and we have no idea how long he will be out. Think of it this way... if he misses 43 games, it won't count as an accrued season towards UFA status.
qwksndmonster Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 What the . Blech. At least Dan HAS to play Samson at pivot now.
That Aud Smell Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 Think of it this way... if he misses 43 games, it won't count as an accrued season towards UFA status. you are a bad man.
Wyldnwoody44 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 C'mon - I watched it and I'm a squeamish namby pamby. It's not because I'm squeamish lol.... After all I have to pull the placenta out of a uterus after a c section.... Doesn't get much more disgusting than that. I just don't wanna see our star go down 8 minutes before prepping for game 1 of a season we all have been waiting for with baited breath. I'll just wait for the medical details

I'll just wait for the medical details My wife's obstetrician displayed that glorious miracle to me after the birth of one of our kids. Through sheer dumb luck, I staggered back into a chair before I passed out on my feet.
Wyldnwoody44 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 It's a pretty common reaction...you should feel it though!!! Prolly feels better than Jack's ankle.... Did I cross the line ;)
That Aud Smell Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 4m Initial diagnosis on Jack Eichel immediately after incident was high ankle sprain, but Eichel is seeing doctors/getting imaging done.

Did I cross the line ;) Not at all - although I think that physician did, as she was pretty clearly doing it to see if she could get my ass laid out on the floor.
sabills Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 4-6 weeks for high ankle sprains typically. Bad, but not season-ending bad.
That Aud Smell Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 3m Whether there is more definitive/different diagnosis still to be seen, but for now BUF anticipates minimum 4-6 wk absence, perhaps longer.
Randall Flagg Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 4-6 weeks for high ankle sprains typically. Bad, but not season-ending bad. If it's 4-6 weeks i'm breathing a sigh of relief.
wjag Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 4-6 weeks for high ankle sprains typically. Bad, but not season-ending bad. That's walking, not skating at NHL performance levels
