Briere injured in off-ice workout
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Sabres center Daniel Briere injured his hamstring and groin during an off-ice workout Wednesday and is expected to miss games.
"Right now we feel it's fairly serious and it will keep him out of the lineup," coach Lindy Ruff said.
The Sabres called up forward Domenic Pittis from AHL club Rochester and sent goaltender Ryan Miller to the minors.
Briere is the team's No. 2 center, behind Chris Drury, and joins a grown list of injured forwards. Tim Connolly (concussion), Jochen Hecht (broken arm) and Eric Boulton (thumb) already were on the injured list.
If they can get their offence going and net a couple in the first frame they will do alright, but agian if they don't and wait till 30 seconds left in the third and then try to pot one they aren't gonna come out on top. I think they can come out with a win.
The Oilers should be able to win. Should. Offence needs to drip out, and more rubber should be fired at the net. I'm guessing Edmonton will pull out a win, but barely; 3-2 OT, Horcoff with the winner.
I can't help but post this. Still no powerplay goals, but Edmonton has a 3-1 lead. Hemsky and Torres = WOW. These two guys play great together with Smyth in the middle. Both have 2 points (so far after 2nd), and both have 4 points overall (for now..). Go Oilers!
Final Score: 4-1 Edmonton. Well deserved win for the Oilers, they all worked very hard. Conklin was solid in net, and made some game-saving stops. The Oilers offence stepped up like they wanted to, and it paid off. Great game.
The line juggling really worked for the Oilers, and they finally got some goals. This is the team I've been waiting to see. The whole team looked awsome, Conklin was awsome in net only 1 goal amazing for his first start this season. Lets see if they can make it last next game...
