ESPN.com - NHL - Sabres' Connolly skating again; return still uncertain

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Tim Connolly is free of his headaches, but not of some questions.

The Buffalo Sabres center still couldn't say Friday when he would be ready to return after sustaining the second serious concussion of his career 10 months ago.


"There's no set date. There's no timeline," Connolly said after taking part in his fourth practice this week since being cleared to skate with his teammates. "I'm not going to speculate about that right now. I just come in each day knowing what I have to do and work as hard as I can to get through."


What mattered most to Connolly is that he made it through another session free of the debilitating headaches that have sidelined him since he was hurt in Game 2 of Buffalo's second-round playoff series against Ottawa last May.


"I feel pretty good," Connolly said smiling through a sheen of sweat that covered his face after the 90-minute session in which he was the second-to-last player off the ice.

This is good news for Buffalo, bad news for everyone else. Connolly is a great player and with Buffalo already in first place it makes them even stronger!

Thanks for posting this. It's hard to get Sabres fans to post somewhere other than sabresfans.com.

I still think re-signing Connolly was a mistake. I wish they had his salary to spend on raises for Drury and Briere
