GDT: 2012-13 Training Camp – Sun Jan 13 - Fri Jan 18

Not seeing Leino at practice... anyone have any idea why?

I think he was in earlier. Maybe rest

 

[NotABadPeriod]

TBN/WGR will probably be reporting that Leino is running an errand for Grigorenko or something.

Refilling Grigs' prostate medication no doubt

Looks like we all got our wish. The kid has a locker.

In related note, I want that hoodie

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Got my hoody signed by TJ Brennan. I felt sorta bad cause he signed a lot. But he said don't worry ~

 

[JThorne]

Really though, any news on Leino?

 

[sjci]

Leino started the practice but left early on because of lower body (leg) ailment.

Eek, hope he's OK. I guess if he's out we'd see Hecht-Grigorenko-Ott which wouldn't be bad at all, then the 4th line would have Ellis centering Scott and Kaleta?

It didn't seem like anything too major. He was pointing to his quad, I can't remember if it was left or right. He walked back to the dressing room with a trainer and didn't come back out. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Miller left the ice about 40 mins early it seemed too.

Saturdays practice - which starts at 10:30 am ET - will only last around 45 minutes.

Want to get there early to grab a seat this time. I got there at 11:20 today and there were almost no open seats. Talked to a family from Hamburg, and then had a short conversation with Brennan out back. Then came home.

So excited to see what he can do.

I haven't really seen any interviews of Miller speaking or Vanek as well, any reason why we haven't heard a lot from these two?

 

[TehDoak]

'He’s a big man with soft hands, and that’s what Ruff considers as Grigorenko’s best asset.'

Maybe he WILL get playing time

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Gonna go to the store to buy a new t shirt and then see them play a bit. Promising things so far.

 

[Sabres Fan UK]

I feel like a little kid, i'm excited for tomorrow.

 

[LaxSabre]

The Sabres Store will be open starting at 9:00 am ET on Sunday.

The press releases say the 50% off sale will last through the duration of the game - which means the sale will probably not be offered after the game ends. Yeesh whats another hour or two (of ever long the store is open after games) of the sale?

Doors at First Niagara Center will open at 10:15 am Sunday for the 12:30 pm puck drop. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to ensure smooth entry into the arena and parking lots.

First Niagara Center concession stands will be offering family-friendly pricing on concession items. Items include: box of popcorn for $1 - bag of peanuts for $2 - a hot dog and bag of potato chip combo for $3 and a souvenir Sabres cup (with soda included) for $4.25.

The Sabres will be giving the fans something while they are entering the First Niagara Center or it will be waiting for them at their seats. The Sabres are being hush-hush on what it is. (Would be nice if it was a "Welcome Back To Pegula/Black Hockey" (or something similar) blue or gold t-shirt. They could put it on the seats and alternate sections with blue in one section and gold in the next section over, it could make a nice visual for fans nationally to see on NBC.)

Leino's not at practice this morning... Hecht is now skating with Grigorenko and Ott, with Ellis between Scott and Kaleta... no update on Leino until they catch up with Ruff post-skate... Pegula, Black and Regier will speak to the media today at 12:00 PM, with their presser airing live on sabres.com.

 

[Rhett4]

Interesting about Leino being absent. They have enough bodies without him (with Ellis on the 4th line and Hecht moving up), but it's still a little curious. Personal issue or death in the family, perhaps?

 

[Fire Lindy]

So that's two practices in a row Leino has missed? May be something serious.

 

[SackTastic]

It's some kind of tweak. Leino will skate tomorrow AM, and make a decision if he can go.

My bet is groin.

Didn't he leave the ice early yesterday? Slight injury maybe? Maintenance day today?
