Can one of you super smarties give us an injury update for the team? It has been so long, I am not sure who's hurting and how long they are out. Thanks!

[Claude_Verret]

Gerbe, McCormick and Leino are all on the mend right now as far as I know.

Gerbe and McCormick started the season on IR.  So, they probably will be out some time.

Leino, as far as I know, is day-to-day.

Yep -- Gerbe is still recovering fully from offseason back surgery (although he's been practicing with the team, I believe), and Cody is still rehabbing a busted finger from last year?  Leino is a lower body or leg injury from practice the other day.

Gerbe's spine is healed. It's a groin now. Caused by a combination of Pegula's secret research at Penn St and the black helicopters.

The illuminati may be involved as well.

Or, they're not sure where to put him?

Correct. And I wouldn't be surprised if Leino is a hip flexor. The two most common injuries for pushing too hard at the last minute. Gerbe for trying to rehab quick and Leino for... Waiting too long to get in shape. Oh IMO.

So it is the Illuminati?

Ruff said on wgr yesterday that gerbe and cody are cleared for full practice just waiting for them to tell him they are ready to go. and leino could be back tomorrow i believe unless theres been a setback.

If we clear Gerbe or McCormick to play, that means we need to make a roster move right?  Time for Regier to earn his money and clear up the logjam at the blueline.

[sabres4life19]

if gerbe does play(or get activated off IR) we can expect a roster move immediately

Only if he's had it for a while.  First we heard was Saturday, so given a week to 10 days for the normal cold/flu thing...

As long as it doesn't go all pneumonia on him.

Not to open the can of worms again, but the flu for somebody his age (70?) can be pretty serious.

Which is why I'm sure he got the vaccine...

[Spndnchz]

Back to the Sabres.

I'll place a bet that Gerbe is back and Leino is put on IR.

One would hope that he did, and that it was especially immunogenic for him.

[Peppy22]

Really sucks, because I was very confident that Leino would have a great year.

[LTS]

Look.. he's RJ and in Buffalo.. I'm pretty confident that any medical assistance he needs he's going to get.  I'm not worried.

[sabres4life19]

John Vogl tweeted that RJ is Improving but not quite there yet.

What kind of rules and restrictions are in place for using IR as a place to stash players?

Unless he's using the team doctors...

[sabres4life19]

based on nhl.com description. the player must have been injured for a min of 7 days to be placed on IR and once they are placed they must remain on IR for a min of 7 days

En route to Boston?
