i was just reading something on espn about him:

_BUFFALO, N.Y. - Buffalo Sabres defenseman Dmitri Kalinin will miss the start of the Eastern Conference finals series against Carolina, and center Tim Connolly may join him on the sideline._

_Sabres coach Lindy Ruff on Monday ruled out any possibility of Kalinin playing when the best-of-seven series is expected to open at Carolina this weekend. Kalinin is listed week to week after injuring his ankle May 8 while blocking a shot in Game 2 of the conference semifinal series against Ottawa._

_Connolly’s status is unclear after sustaining a possible concussion in Game 2._

_“We’re hopeful,” Ruff said of Connolly, who had 11 playoff points, including five goals. “But right now, there’s no indication he will be (ready).”_

_The Sabres are scheduled to resume practice Tuesday. They eliminated Ottawa with a 3-2 overtime victory in Game 5 on Saturday. Carolina advanced by defeating New Jersey in Game 5 on Sunday._

_Veteran Sabres center Adam Mair’s status also remains questionable. He’s been out since April 7, when he sustained his second concussion in three months during a 4-2 loss to Philadelphia._

_Mair has practiced for two weeks, but has not been cleared for contact._

I hope we can get Connolly back soon enough… it would be nice to have him in in the lineup, he’s scary to opposing teams. I don’t see Kalinin coming back.

i know kalinin wasn’t just an “injury,” it was a break in the ankle bone…any break, bad or minor, takes longer than 2 weeks to heal…

connelly has a concussion they’re saying now? i remember a few days after it first happened, there was an announcement that it was just a jaw injury, and didn’t really affect his concussion history? that sucks…if it is another concussion, i doubt we’ll see him the rest of the playoff’s…it’s the doctor’s call when all is said and done, and i dont see any doctor, or at least any doctor that doesnt want to be sued for malpractice, allowing a player to get back on the ice with a recent concussion, when a previous concussion put him out of the lineup for an entire season just a few years prior… :tdown:

it was a clean hit. Just because he’s a sabre and got hurt doesn’t mean otherwise.

we’ll miss him out of the line up, hope he can make it back.
