Missing Michael Sauer

It’s amazing how quickly someone becomes an afterthought in this league. When Michael Sauer went down with his concussion, it seemed the world had ended. Marc Staal was still out, Sauer was out, and in the following week Jeff Woywitka and Steve Eminger would both suffer injuries.

Sauer Concussion Deal Another Blow To Rangers Defense Corps

New York Rangers defenseman Michael Sauer took a vicious, clean hit from Dion Phaneuf of the Toronto Maple Leafs Monday night during the third period. After no update yesterday, Rangers coach John Tortorella confirmed that Sauer did in fact suffer a concussion.
