[KirbyDots]

Looks like a leg brace.

Yeah, but what is good is it's a tiny one and that he's walking around. Hell, he actually has most of his weight on that leg in the picture.

 

[Limekiller]

Must be a knee sprain of some kind. I hope the Sharks are extra careful with that. If sitting him until the playoffs start is what's necessary to get him 100% healthy for the playoffs, then hopefully that's what they do. More important to have him there than for trying to push for the Division title, which is mostly out of reach anyway, barring a massive collapse by LA.

Does Marc only own 1 t-shirt? Here he is about 2 years ago with his little girl.

BTW....Pickles has been working on his triceps.

The therapy dog is Marleau?

"Uh, 'ruff'."

"What a gutless dog"

If he has a knee sprain. That's pretty much our season over.

DeMelo isn't a top 4 and neither are Polak/Dillon. Against Anaheim we'll get owned in our end.

Oh well, it was a fun season for the most part.

Try to not be so optimistic

Reality is tough for some people.

No crutches. Just looks like an ordinary knee brace.

There's different levels of sprains. Given that he's just in a small brace and isn't using crutches, this looks rather mild. I have every confidence that he'll be ready by the playoffs.

Vlasic's been getting injured too often for my liking these past few years but the Sharks have mentioned Vlasic's injury isn't as serious as Nieto's. If Nieto's out a month then Vlasic is probably out 2-3 weeks if the Sharks are being truthful.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

betcha he's back within 10 days.

He's the #1 target and really not that big. It's some what expected

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Eh his injuries were due to a cheapshot and getting tangled on the boards. Its not like they are constant strains and pulls.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

He's missed an average of 5 games a year the last 3 years, hardly something to worry about

 

[Juxtaposer]

Just rest him. There is not way we aren't playing the Ducks and personally I'm not fussed about home ice.

This is funny you mention that. Me and some friends work at Nordstrom and apparently the one that all the players shop at use my friend as a personal stylist and Vlasic is the one who cares the very least about what he wears. He gets the most basic suits and wears comfort dress shoes (Ecco's to be exact) for his dress outfits and rarely ever gets new clothes.

Don't think Vlasic has any kids, does he?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Sorry, that's his goddaughter

 

[Red Light Lover]

That Knee brace is likely just a reminder to take it easy. It's a post op range of motion brace that provides zero stability.

 

[SactoShark]

Run Eddy RUN!

Yep, the Sharks are just being super careful with him. If it was already the playoffs, he'd be playing.

I'm surprised he's not enveloped in bubble wrap.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

betcha he's back within 10 days.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Gives him a good rest from the grind too. I hope that others on the blue line like Martin and Braun are given a game here and there down the stretch if it's available.
