That sucks. Hope he gets better soon.

 

[Buffdog]

There's gotta be a better exspleenation

I'll just show myself out...

Seriously, all the best to Lardo. Hopefully it's something transient and he gets better quickly

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Vilardi is really good when he plays, which unfortunately isn't very often.

Wishing him a speedy and lasting recovery.

 

[wasup]

That's a weird one , hope all things go well as I really like how he plays . It's funny that they say it's unrelated to his upper body injury he was originally out for .

 

[Jets 31]

Ya hopefully he gets better fast but i gotta figure with so much time he's going to miss he is probably done for the season, hopefully not though.

 

[SoCalJetsFan]

Damn, that is unfortunate. Hopeful for a speedy recovery.

 

[Buffdog]

Hmm... I just figured that this WAS the "upper body injury" he's been battling, but it appears it's separate

"This condition is separate from the undisclosed upper body injury that’s sidelined him since the beginning of March"

Edit: I wonder of this was something asymptomatic that was found during imaging on his "upper body injury". If he was in an MRI tube for his back it may have been discovered on that exam

 

[Huffer]

Have to feel for the guy. Has injury issues with the Kings but battles back and has a good season with them. Comes here, looks pretty good early and then gets hurt. Comes back and plays really well and then gets hurt again (and we still don't know what it is), and now has an enlarged spleen.

Hopefully the spleen issue isn't serious. He deserves some good luck.

 

[Guardian17]

I hope he makes a full recovery.

What worries me is that an enlarged spleen can be caused by infections or something worse like cancer.

 

[UFO]

Damn that sucks. The man is cursed somehow.

 

[enuffidiotsalready]

time to win one for the Gabester!

 

[KingBogo]

Hopefully it doesn’t end up being as serious as it seems. All the best to Gabe and here’s hoping for a quick and full recovery.

 

[jetsforever]

That sucks, hope he can recover quickly and get back in the lineup

 

[DRW204]

hey we wont disclose the actual injury that he has kept him out of the line-up for a while now, & he was originally getting tested on.... but here we will announce he has an enlarged spleen

like why? one hockey related, one not?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

It sucks he's injured and all, but he's still outperformed Dubois in every way possible.

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

OMG. Scary news. Hope he recovers quickly and it’s not tied to something more serious.

Hockeys just a game - get well soon Gabe!

 

[kanadalainen]

Best luck Gabe, get well soon buddy.

 

[Bob E]

Get well soon Gabriel.

Terrible news. I love Vilardi's game. No idea how long he'll be out but I fear that his season is over.

On a related note, I don't understand why it's not called Spleenitis. We don't say Enlarged Tonsils or Enlarged Appendix.

 

[SUX2BU]

Get well soon, havarti

 

[B33R LEAGUE]

Mono causes enlarged spleens.

Its also contagious and can last 6 months or longer.

The whole teams been sick recently..

-itis refers to inflamed, -megaly is for enlarged

For example, hepatitis is a different condition than hepatomegaly

It's actually called "splenomegaly" but that just doesn't roll off the tongue.
