Injury Report: Vlasic

[OrrNumber4]

I'm more than happy to hear that Vlasic will be back for game 1. Unfortunately its been kinda obvious that he is absent, Jones suffering the most from his absence though. Our like our defense but I'm a bit concerned.


Also, this thread I created:

Yeah, that just ain't right.

If you think Vlasic is a superior player to OEL, you haven't been following players long enough.

The problem is that OEL's flaws generally correlate with goals on the scoreboard. Vlasic's flaws have generally correlated with goals not on the scoreboard.

Indeed. Glad to see that he is well rested and back.

Woohoo!!! Stay away from his knees Brown, you d-bag.

Did we ever find out what exactly was wrong with Pickles? I know he was wearing a leg brace a while back but what was the exact nature of his injury?

Sprained knee (pretty sure it was his MCL) and I'm not so sure he isn't still in a knee brace.

Sounded like an MCL sprain. Said it was the same injury as the one that kept him out of the World Championship last year.

So is 4+ weeks enough to recover from this? I really hope we are not rushing him back.

Depends on the severity of the sprain but it could definitely be enough time to get it strong enough for him to play.

I'm not saying he is but even if Vlasic is at like 80% there was no chance he wouldn't be in the lineup.

I'm sure he'll be his regular self.

2-4.

 

[Timo Time]

I would say 4 weeks is optimal time with some expedited recovery treatments with the staff and rest. I'm sure he'll be feeling good during the games, but once the season is over I'm sure the pain will be felt a little bit more so.

 

[hohosaregood]

I think 4 weeks is considered the "full recovery" time for a grade 1 sprain and fairly expedited for a grade 2 sprain.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Excellent. Thanks guys.

I would say that would be fairly expedited for a grade 2, especially since this isn't the first injury to that ligament but ya, 4 weeks is generally a good full recovery time for a grade 1.

They didn't release how bad it was but if I had to guess I'd go with a grade 2.

I love Vlasic, but he picks the worst ****ing time to get injured.

I don't really buy that he's near 100%...but we need him now more than ever.

I, for one, can't wait for the annual Dustin Brown questionable hit. Will it be a slewfoot on Vlasic? Will it be another knee-on-knee with Hertl? Perhaps a headbutt on Burns? So exciting.

He's upping his game, going headhunting Stoll style.

Yeah, he chose to get injured. All that matters is whether or not he's capable of playing at a reasonably high level. As long as he's better than DeMelo, which would be difficult for him not to be, he should play.

I'm sure he's probably close.

Brown didn't mean to hurt anybody man. He's just a...bad skater...yea that's it.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Vlasic will be fine. I'm pretty confident Burns is going to take this series over anyway.

Dustin Brown is known for turning it up a notch in the playoffs.

The league just has it in for him, as evidenced by the lack of review of the play and subsequent zero game suspension.

It's not dirty if there's no rule against it in the rulebook.
