Thorner Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 Does the mere mention of quarantine bode well? Or wishful thinking on my part Quote

Or wishful thinking on my part What typically happens when a player is out for the year? do they go home, or do they stick around with the team, travel to games, rehab, still go to meetings etc.? If they just go home it could be good news. If the latter, then Jack would probably be back quarantining no matter what the diagnosis is Quote

My guess he is shut down for the season and has surgery of some type, soon. Of course, that may be wrong and his second opinion said he just needs some rest. But how often does the story end happy for Sabres fans? Quote
LabattBlue Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 Does anyone expect Eichel to play again this season? Quote

That Aud Smell Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 4 hours ago, Thorny said: Does the mere mention of quarantine bode well? Or wishful thinking on my part I believe the quarantine is a function of the league's COVID protocols (?). Jack's going to Colorado for a matter not connected to team travel, so he's going to have to quarantine when he returns. At least, that's what I think is going on. 34 minutes ago, LabattBlue said: Does anyone expect Eichel to play again this season? I do not. 1 Quote

Thorner Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 Well, I hope we don't trade him in the offseason, then Quote
Kruppstahl Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 36 minutes ago, LGR4GM said: I think he's done for the season. He's almost certainly getting a second opinion b/c his primary physician is telling him surgery is necessary. Assuming the second opinion is similar, he will probably get the surgery done ASAP and miss the rest of the season. I'll be surprised if it doesn't play out that way. 1 Quote
nfreeman Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 Yikes. So maybe surgery on his spine? Good luck Jack and get well soon. No rush -- we'll be ready for you whenever you return. 3 Quote

Claude Balls Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 48 minutes ago, Thorny said: Well, I hope we don't trade him in the offseason, then The only good news about this, is that it should somewhat hamper his trade value. If it keeps him here longer, I'm okay with it. Just hope it doesn't affect him long term. Quote
Stoner Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 If it's neck, was the injury aggravated by his head getting jammed into the glass, or was that the original injury? Also, what in the name of God was the trainer trying to do when Jack winced and snapped at him. It's like that move some people do to crack their neck — or kill a man who threatened to expose your secret, I warned you, Chris, but no, you went sniffing around where you didn't belong. 1 Quote
thewookie1 Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 It certainly seems likely this injury has been causing his problems all year. Quote
Brawndo Posted March 11, 2021 Author Report Posted March 11, 2021 Based on the previous history of the Sabres medical staff I regret to inform you that Jack Eichel has been decapitated 2 Quote
