It basically said that Jack's season is over without having any other information than what we have. So basically it was written by some people here.

Relax, folks. Get the doctor's opinion before we start saying we're certain that he's going to lose the leg just because some friend of a friend of a friend who has a veterinary technician degree from the University of Phoenix says it might not be great.

His season is over.



There. Now you have it.

At least we only have one football team to root for. Must be nice to have the luxury of jumping from bandwagon to bandwagon whenever either the Jets or Giants are good. But seen as the Jets are never good I guess you don't really have that problem.

You telling people they are overreacting to this. That's season ticket holder speak.
- Buffalo--Sabres


I'm not telling anyone anything. I'm not panicking because we don't actually have any real information yet.

Do I hate the fact that there's a possibility that he could be out for quite a while? Absolutely. But that doesn't automatically mean we're going to lose every game, which is how some people are reacting around here.

It's a poop sandwich. But pissing and moaning about it isn't going to turn it into a cheeseburger. It's still a poop sandwich.

Another article said an ankle injury could be 6-8 weeks. Maybe we could go .500 for 6-8 weeks barring further injury

I wonder who they bring up to replace Jack? I am thinking Nylander gets his 9 game shot to show what he has.

Assuming both he and ROR are out tomorrow, I think the 4 centres are:

Reinhart
Girgs
Larsson
Grant

- SabreWest


Was just going to post exactly what you did.

And when ROR is back, it should be ROR, Reinhart, Larsson, Grant, with Girgensons playing wing.

Either way, big opportunity for Sam to play his natural position.

You can take a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a bull's ass, but wouldn't you rather take the butcher's word for it?


My buddies, doctor-friend saw the grainy ass video and made and accurate assumption from doing not 1 mobility test on the knee.

Until something official comes out . everyone is going off the video. Could have been a stunt double and a ploy to take some of the press off the Leafs

Absolutely. It's a new scale based on Kessel's body fat

The extra 10% comes from the porterhouse that he carries around as a "pocket steak"...

I also go back to last year's Eastern Conference Finals where Ben Bishop was screaming and rolling around as if he got shot by a sniper perched above the press box. He was the backup later in the series.

It pains me to say it, but:



This is a good post.

(Except you didn't have to go all "sniper perched above the press box." Nobody is "perching" - there I feel better)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again! There's no other explanation other than GOD FRANKING HATES US!!!
- Cup Crazy '07


Agreed. But He hated Cleveland and the Cubs too I felt like. One of them won this year all ready and the other is looking good too.. Maybe in thirty forty years he'll release us from the curse..

Yeah I saw that on his twitter comments .

Hope it is just a tweak and nothing drastic.

Dan Bylsma said it happened 8 minutes before the end of practice. I didn't need to know that

Sounds like we are in for some fun hockey.

It will be the equivalent of throwing for 120 yards in football.

Without Eichel, we are now pretty slow too

"Jack Eichel skating with a broken ass leg. Dawg, he put the team on his back. Let's go down into the mind of the player... 'Dawg, gotta do dis poop, I put the team on my back, doe. My leg broke, I don't know how da (frank) I'm skating, I do dis poop, for Madden. OH poop! Darren Sharper! One of da most hardest hitting wingers, in da league. But, I put the team on my back. (frank)ing , you can't stop me! Broke the plane! Touchdown! Jack Eichel. 3-1 Buffalo. (frank) YOU GUMBY!'"
