Injury Report: Vilardi Injury - Out Week to Week

[Ossific]

Ughhhh I'm so mad right now. What a shitty from the shittiest team. Thanks Buffalo

 

[surixon]

Thats a huge loss

 

[SLAYER]

what in the f***... this was awful news if true.

 

[bustamente]

Who is Nik Lynam? Did anyone actually hear John Lu say this?

There is nothing on Lu's Twitter feed stating this, I don't think the Jets would tell Lu Vilardi is out for the playoffs even if he was

Saw it on a Jets Reddit sub and assumed it was legit. My bad.

[gojetsgo]

lu said it in a video but probably just a guess since he's week to week and only a couple weeks left in the season

 

[Dirtbag151]

seemed like he was playing through something...maybe the slew foot was enough for them to say shut him down till playoffs?

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

I think Vilardi will be back for the playoffs. Worst case he'll stay out for the start of round 1 and only rush back if it looks like we're in trouble - these guys play through insane stuff

 

[SCP Guy]

Man this guy cant catch a break…. Always getting hurt every single year ugggggg

He is one of those oft injured guys but has been a key contributor and he caught a break with his gf

Who was the Sabres player that slew footed him?

 

[ps241]

So we are getting to deal with some adversity here before the playoffs. Injuries are part of it so time for some others to step up here.

Hopefully Gabe and Neil are ready for the playoffs but week to week with 11 games left will be interesting.

looks like Tuch

Agreed, the Jets would be super quiet about that. I would think that whoever we end up playing in the 1st round the Jets would want that team to think he might play.

Fitting, you know what rhymes with Tuch ....

 

[surixon]

I mean if it's a significant injury like a brebreak or separation then it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that he won't be back for the start.

But yes the Jets will do what all teams do and be vague about it.

 

[Bladerunner62]

if you pronounce it with the ch as is, it still rhymes...douch......

[Bender Duster]

Hopefully this is a case of the Jets being cautious with a nagging injury and helping him hit the playoffs at 100%.

Plus, shutting him down for the rest of the year will ensure he doesn't hit the magic 30 goal number and save them some coin during this summer's contract talks.

I am not damnit .

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Makes me mad because Vilardi was showing his true potential this season.

I mean this is what I'd do in the meantime.

Connor-Scheifele-Ehlers
Perfetti-Namestnikov-Tanev
Niederreider-Lowry-Appleton
Iafallo-Kupari-Barron

Actually Vilardi has not been good lately ... especially the last 3 games and if you take away the Canucks stats only 5 shots on net in 7 games.
Maybe a minor injury or burnt out but the rest should do him good and hopefully he comes back 100% ready to light it up for the playoffs.

Certainly the most ice time he's seen in his pro career up until now. Both in GP and mins/game, so i wouldn't be surprised if him and his large frame are wearing down a bit.

The ol' Paul Maurice "short term" injury, eh. We all know how those went.
