lastest rumor…
Sabres defenceman Jay McKee will not suit up for his team’s critical game 7 against Carolina on Thursday night.
Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said Thursday that McKee has an infection in his leg which has caused flu symptoms.
Ruff said that it is a freak thing which woke him up at 5am Wednesday in severe pain.
so if that’s the case…i think they will either dress Paetsch and put Vanek as a foward or… use Pominville on D
HES GUNNA PLAY !! SHHH… HAHA
Fuck i hope that is wrong. A fucking infection, talk about a random freaky thing to happen. But wgr and espn are for noobs. Unfortunately TSN.ca agrees with them…
staph infection
It’s just a rumor. I know people and they say it couldn’t get that bad in two days (since last game). I think he had the flu and flew out there today. Play with Carolina’s minds a bit.
if it comes down to it…i am curious to see how Paetsch can do…
WGR has confirmed it

Raleigh, NC (WGR 550) - Sabres coach Lindy Ruff has declared defenseman Jay McKee out for tonight’s Game 7 of the Eastern Confrence Finals in Raleigh. McKee has what Ruff calls a “freak infection” in his leg.
WGR’s Paul Hamilton is reporting that McKee recieved treatment in a Buffalo-area hospital last night. He did not fly with the team to Raleigh. A cut McKee suffered during the Ottawa series was the cause for the infection.
Paul Hamilton is also reporting that injured defenseman Teppo Numminen did not take the morning skate at the RBC Center in Raleigh, NC. Hamilton said the skate was not optional.
Keep it tuned here all day for details from Paul Hamilton and the staff here at WGR Sportsradio 550.
so has espn
we need pominville on D! no more rookies please
Best defense will be a strong offense…
Nevermind just heard Mckee in done …
Crap… there’s another 15 shots on Miller. I hope he has the best game of his carrer so far.
LET’S GO SABRES!
i love how rory fitzpatrick was a healthy scratch and now he’s like in the top defensive pairing, I see lydman and campbell both over 30 min tonight getting double shifted like whoa.
:word:
it’s def official.
the o-lines are gonna be on point tonight.
there’s no team in the NHL that deserves this win more than the sabres.
high scoring game tonight!
if they dont get too demotivated by the loss like they did with numminen in game 4
Well, I just saw the news and thought I’d check over here to see if people were talking about it. So much for it just being the flu huh? Miller is going to have to be in top form tonight.
Theres no team that is getting shit on as much as the sabres either! Its amazing what they have overcome this season and if they get by tonight they should be handed the cup right then and there.
