Injury Report: Vlasic

[weastern bias]

Worst case they wheel Vlasic out in time for playoffs. Even Dustin Brown wouldn't check someone in a wheelchair.

Yes he would

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Yes he would

I think he would wait for them to come skating down and then put his hockey stick through the spokes of the wheel.

So.... Anything new? I like having Demelo in the lineup for sure, but I wish it were over Polak.

I saw something somewhere today that said he was still walking with a limp. But i cant remember where I saw that. I am old and forgetful

I saw that too, but last I saw he was wearing a brace. That may be why. Still would mean he's wearing it which isn't great, but who knows. Seems like he'd be playing if it were the PO's. I'll hold out hope.

 

[Timo Time]

Team is probably being mum on it so they can rest him until the PO's.

Was from a Kurz tweet, I think.

You know they say that memory is the 2nd thing to go as you get older? Damn if I can remember what the 1st thing is, though...

Your bladder ?

That, uh, "Depends" if you know what I mean.

Last I heard he was still in a brace and not ready to start skating (that was on Tuesday).

I don't think this is one of those 'if this was the playoffs he'd be playing' injuries either.

Hopefully he'll be able to get into a game or two before the regular season ends as trying to jump into a playoff game after not playing a game for about a month is not a very easy thing to do.

Also, I agree with you on DeMelo...I don't understand how it is that he was not very good in the AHL (earlier this season either) but has been a very good bottom pairing D in the NHL. It's weird.

Rust in part (sitting on NHL bench). He just seems to "get" NHL hockey. Could be AHL is now "too slow" for him.

I am going to go with coaching/level of team mates (learning from in practices).

The sharks have had way to many not so great ahl players that come up to the nhl and seem to be better then the ahl version of the same player.

That's a bummer. Only about 2 weeks before the PO's.

Ya. Hopefully Vlasic is one of those 'things can change quickly' situations and he'll get back on the ice soon 'cus he's just a little bit important to the Sharks chances of advancing in the playoffs.

 

[hohosaregood]

We need to get this man some stem cell treatment or some other sorta black magic.

You know what they say, "When your memory goes..... Forget it."

[Bowie22]

Oh boy...

If we don't have him by game 1 lmao

 

[Timo Time]

Was also mentioned they hope to get him in a game or two by seasons end.

 

[SacLandshark]

i HATE the way this team reports injuries. The first announcement made it sound like he'd be out for a game or two - a week or two at worst, but CERTAINLY back well before playoffs.

Now we're told that the plan all along was simply to have him ready fo the POs.

Next we'll be told that they hope to have him back in time for POs...

Then hope that he'll be ready for the second round (as if we could get through the first without him)

From 3-22
As far as a timeframe for Vlasic to come back to the lineup, DeBoer said, “I would term it day-to-day, but it could be a week, it could be 10 days.”

Today is day 10

(ok - needed that rant...)

 

[LadyStanley]

Further Pashelka tweets is that he wants to play before playoffs, but will be based on how he feels and medical staff.

He is going on the trip (as is Nieto -- who also does not have a timeline to return).

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

To me it sounds like "he wont be 100% but its the playoffs so he will play"

 

[Coily]

Everyone has a plan until they're punched in the mouth.

Thanks again Shane.

 

[Limekiller]

Maybe some of Kobe Bryant's "Deer Antler Spray"?

 

[Timo Time]

Give him the Kobe treatment.
