If he pulled his groin it explains his wrist injury.

I don't know...maybe because he was limping on the replay and reported to be "limping" by the reporter? A few people already commented on that observation.  Just a strange reaction to a wrist injury.

I shouldn’t need a secret decoder ring to determine how long a player will be injured for.  Every other sport seems to give proper designations, hockey is like “Here are these totally ambiguous terms, go figure it out”.  

I agree with this, though I'll add the Sabres have been much more vague about these things than the crappy team that lives where I do

Did the team ever acknowledge a wrist injury?  To the best of my knowledge his injury was never defined further than “upper body” and the wrist part was fan speculation.

Granted, how does limping result from an upper body injury?

This was started league wide by Lindy Ruff. I think he was the first do declare upper/lower body injury.

In the time it took Zergas to position the puck properly on his stick, why didn’t anybody check him?  Were they just watching?

Question to defense coaches. In my opinion, we play too softly. Players don't know how and when to hit, perhaps don't ready physically and mentally. And maybe that's why we have so many injuries...

Is the groin considered upper body or lower body? Can a groin injury be called either upper or lower body injury? I guess it really doesn't matter, the only thing we know is it's going to be a while before he's back.

There may be some confusion here between hernia and groin? Those athlete hernias (they have a shorthand name - can't recall it) - like the one Briere had - are in the abdominal region, I believe, and that would be upper body (above the waist).

Sports hernia.

I had this injury several years ago while simultaneously training for a marathon and playing rec hockey 3x per week.  I tried all of the non-surgical remedies and they provided temporary relief, but never resolved the issue.  I had the surgery and it worked.  If Mitts indeed has this injury, we are not likely to see him for a few months.

There is also a *groin pull* which is inner thigh. Which would be lower body (?). No idea which (if any) of these he has.

Until this stuff came up, I always thought the “upper body injury” he suffered in he opener was a broken hand/wrist based upon the slash and length of time he was out.

clearly, the team deceived its fan base in addition to opponents. Par for the course😡

LOL; I said yesterday (at another forum) that "seeing specialist" means consulting surgeon; surgery likely; will miss the season.

He'll be out for weeks and weeks, but it's early so maybe not the season.

 

 

 

[Sabres Fan in NS]

What kind of surgery?

He got slashed in the wrist or something, but was also limping.

Is he the all new $6 Million Dallar Man?

Rangers tried to make another IR for Sabres when they hit Skinner and many others. Frankly, I don't want 9 million player on IR same as any other our guy...
