    Wow! Connolly is healthy and ready to go, but....

    The way Paul Hamilton made it sound, Lindy Ruff doesn't know if putting him in would be a good thing to do. It sounds like Lindy knows that if you activate Connolly and Max, you will most likely have to send both Stafford and MacArthur to Rochester and use up two of your 4 callups. He also said that Lindy doesn't care about Tim Connolly's feelings and if the Sabres are better off with the team they have, because of team unity and all that...then he wouldn't screw with it. The way it sounded, Tim Connolly is ready to go, he's healthy again and practicing. He will be going thru some final rigorous practices before Lindy makes a decision. He ended by saying that Max could be in the lineup tomorrow night.

    So basically, outside of Gaustad we are going to be totally healthy. I heard the conversation you are referring to Mike...I can't believe TC can't help this team. I can believe, however, that there are some procedural obstacles.

      They can keep Stafford up.

      Bench Peters and keep Paestch out. Send down Paille if necessary and dress Paestch.

        Don't bench Stafford for anyone

          I thought during the playoffs that there is no roster limits or at least expanded rosters. Call them back up after the Rochester season ends.

            Connolly goes back into the line up Stafford has to go down, they can call him right back up but it would cost them a roster move, they used 1 or 4. They send Paille down he goes on waivers which will not happen. Paille can't be sent down without losing him.

              If Rochester is out of the playoffs then yes, if they have a playoff run of their own then no.

                  Paille can't go down. He's not on the Rochester playoff roster. So he's no longer eligible to go down. Stafford can, and then they can bring him back up for the playoffs. That would count as 2 roster moves though.

                    rochester is almost assured of a playoff spot. It's just a matter of time before they are officially in. The question will be if they can go that far or not. I doubt it.

                      I honestly would be quite fine with Connolly not playing. I don't think throwing him in the mix at this point in time is really a good idea at all. Take the hit and bring him back next season, we've already proven we don't need him.

                        The powerplay needs him.

                          What the **** was all the hype, including Ruff, with bringing him back then?? I say we find a way to bring him back. He played 8 games and had 11 points in the POs last year before that goon knocked him out. Sounds to me like he can help us out.

                            Rosters, yeah, but we can still dress just 18 skaters, right?

                              Yes, just 18 skaters still through the playoffs.
