Jeff Skinner leaves the game with nasty-looking ankle injury


Recommended Posts

So what’s the vibe here? That looks BAD. Doesn’t feel like a situation where there could realistically be a quick return regardless of what it ends up being.

I'd almost rather it be a fracture. Those seem to heal quicker. Sprains tend to linger around forever. 

Yeah. As someone who spiral fractured that area thanks to hockey- the tendons are usually messed up too. I still can’t do back crossovers on one side thanks to that. But I also don’t have good drugs and good surgery and good PT to work it back into playing shape. 

Who knows. Not good any way you slice it.

Looks like a season-ender to me. Maybe if it's a low grade sprain he could come back in April, I guess. But not great. 

Fire up the tank gifs! *ducks*

Yeah whatever it is its really bad...he was grabbing at it as soon as he hit the ice and then did the "scoot like an injured animal" on the ground...afraid it might be an ACL with how his skate stuck in the ice and his body twisted when he went down...

Doubt we see him anymore this year...hopefully it isn't the last time we see him in a Sabres uniform...

Glad he came back and looked good but I can easily see him as day to day and miss a game or two after this. 

I think this is possible.  Post-game swelling and the like.

I'm still in awe of how he came back

Ankle, because what did Tom WIlson whack at right after the faceoff to begin the third?

Such a class act, that Tom Wilson.

I'm still upset that we didn't get some retribution, mitigated slightly by the win and Skinner coming back 

The consensus of the meetup is with you.

Looked bad, maybe just a stinger?

Definitely one of my favorite players now. This guy is just incredible. Thank you hockey gods for giving this gift to our beloved Sabres.

Ya think he might have been embellishing a wee bit there?  Not saying he was but his return makes you wonder.
