Sabres Practice Update

John Vogl of the News has updated us on the status of the Sabres' practice today. He finished off with this little nugget:

Defenseman Teppo Numminen skipped today's practice for a routine checkup on his heart, which had a valve replaced last year.

Nothing makes me laugh more than routine checkup on the heart. Can we please give this guy a break at some point of the season? Or just run him into the ground, either way.
