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._
