You know what... we're going to have ALOT of injuries this year, players are going to get sick, shit is going to happen...
You can't use that as an excuse. It happens to every team, but we don't "take away" from wins when the sabres beat a team with the health bug.
No excuses, this is the NHL and every game is a must win.
AND we WILL have injuries in the playoffs... its inevitable, Good teams (winning playoff teams) overcome that adversity.
Wow, quit bitching.
Without Goose or Kaleta this team doesn't hit, we need those players in the line-up in order to have a physical advantage. Without them we are just like last year. Remember when they are both healthy this team has guys who will hit hard and keep the other players on their toes.
It's one game without them, we have to adjust to it also. Yes every team goes through it, and every team adjusts to it, but it doesn't always happen in one game also. It can take two games or three to adjust your play without those guys.
Injuries suck, and the Sabres can and will overcome it, we have until next Wednesday to adjust if neither are back. And I'm sure they will. They have plenty of time right now to adjust to the injuries.
And we are 8-2-1, so to say this team is doomed now is stupid. Please, I'll take two regulation losses in 11 games any day.

As I said in the GDT, the call on Rivet was horseshit. The Bruins player was holding onto Rivet's stick like it was the last fucking raft on the Titanic.
