Connolly takes a step forward

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

ATLANTA — The Buffalo Sabres haven’t ruled out having Tim Connolly in uniform before the end of the regular season.

Sabres coach Lindy Ruff on Saturday reported the stress fracture in Connolly’s right leg was responding well to off-ice workouts and the center should be back on the ice with his teammates this week.

“Tim is doing good,” Ruff said. “He has exercised while we’ve been gone. He’s gotten to the point where we expect he’ll be getting on the ice this week as far as participating in shooting and skill drills. We’ll see how his knee reacts.”

There are only 11 games and three weeks left in the regular season, but Ruff said that could be plenty of time to get Connolly prepared for game action.

“There’s still a remote chance that he could get back for possibly the last couple regular-season games,” Ruff said. “I don’t think you can rule that out.”

Re: Connolly takes a step forward

with the addition of conneley and zubris our power play is going to be quite a force to be reckoned with.

You guys would be hard to move from in front of the net, especially when you lay down.

Re: Connolly takes a step forward

You know, there are two rumors that constantly permeate this board- "The Pats are finally on the decline" and "Tim Connolly is close to returning".

They constantly come up and they're never true. I'll believe it when the puck drops and he's on the ice.

At least until they saw a popcorn vendor.

Re: Connolly takes a step forward

zubris doesn't move enough on the power play.

he stands around on the perimeter, and when he has a chance for a shot or to drive the net he fakes and passes off.

i can't wait for him to come off the PP when Timmy gets back.

you can take zubris and interchange him with your favorite Sabres on the PP.

Re: Connolly takes a step forward

Timmy better get back since the team is going to need him on the PP. I just don't know if we'll see the real Tim C. this season.
