BTB: VANEK TO MISS 'WEEKS'

Thomas Vanek will be out at least a few weeks after sustaining an upper body injury according to Head Coach Lindy Ruff.

The winger left the ice midway through the second period of Buffalo’s 6-2 win against the Detroit Red Wings after netting his second goal of the night.

Although Vanek immediately left the game following the play - crashing along the endboards - Ruff said the injury took place before the goal.

“It’s tough, but we’ve got extra players and every team is going to have to deal with injuries,” Ruff said. “If you look what Detroit’s dealing with, they’ve got to deal with [Johan] Fronzen out of the lineup. Every team is going to miss key players along the way and I think we have enough depth.”

Damn, 2 guys out now for weeks with injury's that no one really saw happen. Though Vanek is a bigger hit than Shakira.

For a second I thought you were saying that Vanek sucks, not referencing the time he will miss.

Wow, I should have said, Vanek being out sucks, haha.

Dislocated shoulder maybe? Sprained wrist?

I'm guessing shoulder since Vanek was holding onto that arm...

Glad he still got the goal while hurting it.

Actually opens room for Paille to play again also.

What I saw from Kennedy tonight was hustling and getting open and taking great shots.

He skated and handled the puck great.

Kinda sucks. A lot.

I'm not sure why there must always be problems, but I know that only the dead are free of problems.

Doesn't Ruff sound scary calm, almost relieved? His confidence in having enough depth is actually making me consider that it could be true.

As the wise Tom Hanks once said:
It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it.
The hard . . . is what makes it great.

LOL me to, it's a crying shame that he's out, he was just hitting his stride.
