Looked like his neck and collarbone took the brunt of it more than the shoulder. Brutal collision

Totally changes the dynamic of this team if he's out

Absolutely

Granato on Tuch's injury he said he will likely be sore - luckily nothing with the head, they did all the tests with head injury possibilities, the collision was on the shoulder, they will wait until tomorrow to determine status vs FLA. #Sabres

If that's the case, I'll take it. It looked bad.

Sucks if he misses the Vegas game. Looks almost certain that he’s out a while

At best it’s a badly bruised shoulder

Can they consult with some other teams medical staff first?

It’s Sunday, so you have any idea how much a weekend consultation outside of the team would cost? Remember the goal is to not disrupt the lifestyle.

Well. If you are considering lifetime cost it will probably be better to consult on Sunday than ruin his career.

At least they won’t have to worry about slogging through a trapping team tomorrow night.

You're over reacting.

Kimmie is on her way...She has maybe more information than the Team's medical staff.

Nothing to see here, move along!

Pegula lifestyle>Tuch career…evidence the last 12 years.

I hate to say it but this is the first game where I think we really missed Eichel. It's hard for teams to stand someone up with those kind of zone entry skills. Once we stopped moving our legs in the 2nd I knew we were toast.

Panthers called up Knight today. Might get the start in goal tomorrow

Where the fig is UPL? Quinn in for Tuch E5 to the GD second power.

If the Sabres lose the lottery and end up outside top 3, do you consider trading all 3 22' 1sts for Patrick Kane? He brings the puck possession/carrying ability this team is missing, Krebs and Cozens can learn from him, and this team solves a massive hole with a winning vet presence....while also filling up the seats.

If there was ever a time to pull a trade like this its next off season IMO. Make that trade early and signing a top FA goalie and RD just became that much easier.


Eichel with the late game dramatics...its was fun to watch.

This is why you are no longer the GM, Mr. Murray.
