matter2003 Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 Guess we get to see someone else step in and play for McCabe...Nelson?? Quote
woods-racer Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 I'm betting Hunwick finishes out the year in his spot. Quote
Die Hard Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 Isn’t this par for the course? Has he ever had a season when he hasn’t missed a significant portion due to injury? Quote

MattPie Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 What does this do the Sabres' playoff chances? ? Quote

It's not like our D we had in there wasn't giving up glorious scoring chances every game like they are going out of style... Quote

Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 He was really in pain from whatever it is. Quote
Kruppstahl Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 It looked serious as he had a very heavy collision and then seemingly was in tremendous pain on the bench. Almost seemed like a broken arm bone or something. This won't help our struggling defense. 1 Quote
North Buffalo Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 Yeh based on his reaction broken arm/wrist Quote
Carmel Corn Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 Well this will inspire our team to play an even more tough and physical style! ;) Quote
Berg Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 Quick recovery to him. This is a serious loss... Quote
PerreaultForever Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 He seems to get hurt every year. Maybe it's time to remove him from long term plans? Quote

No need to at this point. He's still cheap and under team control (RFA status). This isn't an Okposo or Bogosian situation where the guy is locked up long term for big money. If anything it may mean that we can lock him up at a lower cap hit, or we can sign him to a short term deal for an even lower rate to minimize risk. Quote

7+6=13 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Posted March 5, 2019 Is it possible to not see McCabe in a Sabres uniform again? Quote

PerreaultForever Posted March 5, 2019 Report Posted March 5, 2019 I agree, I was perhaps being too hard on him, but it does concern me. I'd say he's adequate for the moment, but I am not attached to him being here either. Quote

The Fin on his right side, that's another story. I'm indifferent. I think he's a poor puck handling defenseman and I think he turns the puck over far too much. However I do like that he gives us some physicality. Part of the problem is a little difficult for me to assign to him and I wouldn't create a hole to get rid of him. However I do think, if we're ever going to get to a point where we're good, he can't get top 4 minutes. Quote
Doohicksie Posted April 3, 2019 Report Posted April 3, 2019 I was surprised to see him back. He looked a little rusty, but one thing he does far, far better than any other Sabres D-man, and somthing the forum has been howling about lately, is he clears the net front and boxes opposing forwards out. Now we need 5 more who can do that. 1 Quote
