Sabres/Philly..........

https://t.co/xLgh1smyi8

Maybe Sam can pass it to Casey until jack gets back next December from his knee Injury.

Hopefully it's a sprained knee, didn't look good.

Let's see how the sabres respond tomorrow at home.

Really looked familiar to the previous one . not as bad but the same type .

I don't know much about sports injuries, but isn't being able to skate off on his own a good sign?

Guys walk off the football field with broken legs.

This sucks, hopefully it's only a week or 2.

Or even just this year

Not good. No update until tomorrow. Probably means MRI

Just don't have the team docs on the road. Phil wouldn't even say "lower body".

I wouldn't be surprised if there was an MRI or a CT. I was thinking groin or hammy initially until I saw the replay then thought it could be literally anything below the waist. He jammed his leg into the boards, did a split, bent over awkwardly backwards...

with his leg/knee taking the weight of his body.

Or started doing better drugs

Nice play Boss

Not necessarily, adrenaline is a hell of a thing. It just means that nothing is badly broken. In battle a lot of times people don't even know when they've been shot. That's one thing the movies aren't bullpoopting about.

One time I hurt my ankle real bad and, while I couldn't put a ton of weight on it, it didn't hurt at all, for the first 10 minutes, and then it hurt like a mother(frank)er.

In my unprofessional medical opinion, there’s no way it’s not his right knee

That just took some of the fun out of going to the game tomorrow night.

Now we have to hear about jack being injury prone?

I really hope Sam steps up.
The way he plays with out jack is really my biggest problem with him.

Could help sign him cheaper
Could hurt his trade value

His resume. He’s been a big part of smart moves for the Pens.

There's no doubt he was part of a very good team, but it's a whole different ball of wax when you're the guy that makes the final decision.

I'm not saying I'm down on the guy. I'm just saying saying he's "good" is premature.

Alright guys, tried being positive.

This is what it gets me

So if Quennville is available do you think the sabres screw over Housley and take him ?

last 5 games ive been to over the past 10 years have been losses.

Pretty much what you have been doing the past 5 years .

PS - this is a joke

Watching the Oilers. If they didn't have McDavid, they would be 10 pts behind the Sabres. Chiarelli has done nothing good for that team except picking McDavid.

Yes Sam is showing to be a difference maker that we expected a year ago. Just goes to show we are not the smartest annalists and that's the reason we don't make the personnel decisions
- cabin

How is he a Difference Maker I'm being serious?

Jack is a difference maker

So after a stretch of good games he's now labeled a Difference Maker

Ok.. take him out of the lineup now and get back to me .



.How long would you say it takes to label him that ?

Pouliot was really good tonight. He should leave the visor off permanently.

Still can't believe they have only 1 more home win then the bills.

Can't imagine the size of the crowd if jacks out for a while.

Yeah that is nuts .

I'm a huge silent Sam basher, but its great to see him playing so well. Hopefully he can step up if eichel is out for a while.

He's a different player the past dozen games. Any comments on what might have changed him?
- Boss34

Probably "oh poop, there's only 2 months left and I need to put up some good play, or I'm not going to get paid."

name a player that a GM would let us sign that would replace Sam. And what would that player cost us ?
- cabin

Oh, he'll tell you, next year once he sees which player went under the radar and blew up. Then he'll lament why we couldn't have been smart enough to see it and sign him.

Would you say today's pouilot performance Up's his value or lowers it? The whole "playing better adds value" is pretty cloudy around here.

He has freaking 28 points so is Tyler Bozak or Maroon A Difference Maker

Just wondering
