Good News

This is great news for the Sabres. The problem is whether or not he can remain healthy. If he is healthy he brings a whole new dynamic to the team.

i believe...

he’ll last about half a period.

just kidding. but no joke, he just seems injury prone and i think he’ll probably be out again this year, unfortunately.

I think maybe you wait to insert a 3rd or 4th line player back into the lineup after a 3 game win streak, but not one of your top 6 forwards.

If he ruins the chemistry, don’t worry, there’s an 80% chance he’ll get hurt and not play in the next game anyway. Problem solved there.

Honestly I’ve always been a huuuuge Connolly fan, all jokes set aside, he is one of the more gifted players in this league when he is 100% (see 05-06 playoffs). I look at it like this: we’re playing well right now and he can only help. I honestly cannot wait to see him back on the power play!
