Sauer Put on IR

Written by Kevin DeLury on .

sauerAndrew Gross at Ranger Rants reports that Michael Sauer has been placed on IR.

Sauer sustained a concussion last week after hitting his head on the dasher from a hit by the Maple Leafs Dion Phaneuf.

...and the hits keep on coming. Despite another key injury, I think the Rangers have the depth on defense to ultimately overcome them.

Phaneuf clearly doesn't like the Rangers. Their girlfriends on the other hand...

Thats not good, not good at all. I hope Phaneuf gets drilled by Avery or Prust next time they are in town. Originally, Sauer's hit didn't look that bad, but it was probably a very serious concussion. I wouldn't expect him back until late January at the earliest. Losing Sauer hurts this team big time, hopefully Staal will be back by early 2012, giving the team a Staal-Girardi, McDonagh-Eminger, Erixon-Stralman. I wonder if the emergence of Girardi an McDonagh has made one of the mentioned defensemen open for a trade? Especiall with McIlrath lurking...
