Injury Report: SLAVIN (LBIR)

[The Faulker 27]

If anything he's probably not feeling it at all. They dope these guys up on horse tranquilizers if that's what it takes to get them skating.

I've often wondered (not that often) what meds these guys actually take for pain. I would assume substantial doses of Ibuprofen, and Cortisone shots as a start.

 

[Roboturner913]

Toradol, lidocaine most likely. Cortisone too, but I think there are more hoops to jump through in terms of getting a medical exemption since cortisone is essentially a steroid.

 

[AD Skinner]

Deer antler spray?

 

[MinJaBen]

They just rub a little dirt on it.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Back in the day it was shots of whiskey and cigs.

I mean, I can get being into Bizet but this seems a bit surprising.

Deer antler spray?

OMG LOL. In Finland we know (specifically) reindeer antler extract first and foremostly as nature's own Marley Drug.

These American headlines on sportsmen using it as a performance enhancer were confusing for me at first.

That could lead to excessive stick infractions.

 

[AD Skinner]

They just weren't clear about what "performance" they were referring to

 

[MinJaBen]

If he is a game time decision for the rest of the playoffs, we won’t get past Tampa.

If we can pull ahead by a couple in this series and Brady keeps playing like he is tonight it’s an easy game time decision in my mind...for now

Yeah, this series. I don’t see Tampa this toothless.

 

[hurricure]

f*** yeah..: wrong thread... that was for Aho empty netter

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Being up 2-0. I definitely sit him again for game 3.

win game 3. Sit him again. Lose game 3, play him (if he can)

 

[A Star is Burns]

Like I mentioned before the game, if they want to sit him when we have a series lead, it makes some sense unless he just feels pretty good to go. It'll be tough not getting the matchups on the road but I guess matchups matter less if you just play the best guys 27 minutes.

It'll be tough any game he misses but this is still a really good team even when he doesn't play.

 

[HisIceness]

Next man up, that's all we can do.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Next man up, that's all we can do.

Mike Card, come on down!

 

[Roboturner913]

Skjei is a hoss and Pesce always ups his game when he is asked to take on more ice time. I think/hope we can patchwork it and keep him out until the next series. Granted, Nashville could totally turn things around at home and I'm not discounting them at all. But if we can't beat Nashville without Slavin, then we're not going to beat Tampa with or without him anyway.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

Seriously though... IMAGINE WE DIDN'T HAVE HECKINGPUCK. NOW WE HAVE PESCE TO BABYSIT BEAN AND @3CanesInTheBox THIRST TRAP TO BABYSIT GARDS.

IMO the smart play here is to try and survive the next 2 games without using Slavin. If we win at least one of them, meaning at least a 3-1 series lead, let him sit till the following series. They showed last night they don’t need Slavin right now, they just need to be a little smarter about penalties. A healthier Slavin in the second round is worth more to us than a slightly shorter first round.

If we come back tied 2-2, then bring him back into the lineup to change the dynamic.

My concern is that he has something he needs surgery for and rest isn’t going to do shit. Brind’amour said it was something he’d have to deal with all through the playoffs

Crazy talk. I'm not in the least bit scared of Tampa. Yes they are a good team but so are we.

It sounds like that's the case. The games-off are still valuable for the sake of risk management, keeping him from exacerbating the issue.

I think of what happened to Karlsson's career trajectory after he played through hairline fractures in his heel for the sake of a playoff run. That type of injury could very well be what Slavin's dealing with.

Oh God I dont even want to think about that
