[Fjordy]

Sucks for Greenway and team.

Didn't Greenway just have a "type of procedure" according to Lindy then we rushed him back way too fast imo now he needs something else done?

Good to see ownership "apporve" the surgery. ahem

Can someone add McLeod D2D to the thread title ?
Also Greenway's surgery is for a Sports Hernia per Lance

I’m kinda assuming they mean rehab or some kinda quick fix surgery- for a hernia I think you can try and stitch it up (4-6 weeks?) but if that doesn’t take it needs mesh or somethin and takes 4-6 months. Not a doctor, maybe 50% of that is right, but that’s my guess- that they didn’t rush him, but kinda knew it likely wouldn’t work.

That said, I’ve expressed my doubts about the medical staff before.

Hope we can re-sign Greenway, think he comes outta this motivated.

You raise an Interesting point. After the medical conflict between the Sabres medical staff and Eichel's, perhaps, the players confidence in the team MD's isn't quite what it should be?

Well I hesitated to bring it up, but when he was of more lucid mind Lehner mentioned Buffalo f***ing his ankle up. Like- his story made sense, he’s never thrown another team under the bus like that. Spittin Chiclets interview, I forget the details, but basically he played through somethin he shouldn’t have. And I’ve been told we have a whole new medical staff since, but like- if the same cost-cutting, play-through-it mentality is coming from the very top..

For those following along at home, neither the doctor or trainers who handled Lehner are still in Buffalo, nor is the team physician the same now as when Jerk was in B’lo.
