The Sabres are so unlucky. And those refs. We were tripped six times last night. Only one was called.

You mean you didn't enjoy seeing Jost centering the top line??

Boy I hope Tage's wife/child are ok.

Exactly.... this usually means a family emergency

My guess is that she went into labor yesterday afternoon but as of all these moves and team announcements the baby hasn't been born yet.  Because of his wife's medical history the family may want to hold off on any announcement until all the details are known.

Yeah, if Tage might be out VO slots in for the PP.

That was almost tankesque. And placing Girgs on the top line is too. 

[GASabresIUFAN]

I hope TNT and his family are ok.

They regularly place one of the lower tier players into a higher slot when a player is having a "maintenance" day and they expect the better player back for the game.  Would expect them to run the normal top 3 lines tomorrow with Girgensons bumping Olofsson out of the lineup.

This is just speculative but I think his wife had cancer a few years back so it's possible something returned. It would explain his season and maybe his head not being in the game this year. Hopefully it's something less serious.

Would suspect death in the family type situation or family emergency.

I know I haven't posted in years but I keep reading you guys. My wife and I have our son in the NICU at Sister's Hospital. Just saw Tage in the lobby getting his parking validated and said hello.

Sister's Hospital is one of the primary Labor & Delivery hospitals in WNY. My educated guess would be his wife went into labor/his absence is baby related.

Wish him well 🙏

I hope all is well for your family, you’ll be in my thoughts. You’re missed around here.

Thanks for the update.  Hope your boy is doing well (well, as well as a child in the NICU can be doing).

Dumb question....is the Non-roster list something that has a minimum or maximum timeframe or is it completely arbitrary based on the situation?

Nope.  When the player is ready to come back, he comes back.  And if the team was already at 23 players (like the Sabres almost assuredly will be) then some other move must also get made.

Btw, the league (via the CBA) specifically refers to the birth of a child as being a reason for a player to get placed on that list.
