Please no Abbie Normal brain though!
At what point does this kid just call it quits & hang up the skates? I feel bad for him
Never call it quits. He's 19 years old.

Today's fun fact. Vilardi gets a lot of comparisons to Scott Barney. After Barney missed three seasons from 2000 to 2002 due to his back issues, he came back to play in the NHL (briefly), then the AHL, then ended up playing in Europe until 2014.
Obviously, we hope Vilardi makes it to the show, but a lot of hockey players have done worse than Scott Barney.
Im beyond suspicious at what's really wrong with Vilardi! How does he go from back surgery to rehab then to playing 3 games with the Reign where he looked really good and then to the WJC camp where again according to reports he looked dominant by his 3rd day of camp... Then he goes to a doctors "appointment" and now he's hurt..... buuuut he might end up back with Ontario to end the season???
I mean WTF.. is no one else finding this suspicious....??
I have a feeling that he’ll miraculously make a late season appearance with the ReignI reread the article (the one when he was first home for the holidays) and something caught my attention. He said "I haven't been feeling well." Using the word "well" instead of "to good" seems odd. Besides his groin/core and back, I wonder if something else is going on." Seems like he's been jerked around quite a bit since the draft.
Really? What makes you think that?I have a feeling that he’ll miraculously make a late season appearance with the Reign

Just a hunch really, I think they don’t want him in juniors away from their eyes! And medical staff... I think they believe he is at worse AHL ready and are just letting him heal.Really? What makes you think that?
I sure hope you are correct. ThanksJust a hunch really, I think they don’t want him in juniors away from their eyes! And medical staff... I think they believe he is at worse AHL ready and are just letting him heal.
Is there any update on Vilardi ? Did the Kings just shut him down for the season so he can get healthy ? Is he actually going to quit hockey or are people just saying it to annoy others ?
Really hope the kid is t quitting hockey
thank you for infusing logic in this conversation.Do you really see a 19 year old, who has played his whole life and dominated a sport, to just throw up his hands and say I quit with potentially ten's of millions of dollars that could be in his future? If and when he can play, he'll play.
I can confirm that he recently breathedIs there any update on Vilardi ?
I have a hookup there!Gabe Vilardi doesn't have any legs.

Little do you know that he went home and iced his entire bodyI saw him at Tim Hortons ordering a large double double and a box of 40 timbits.
The box of timbits is pretty heavy, all that dough and sugary goodness but, he seemed to be lifting it without issue.
