The St Louis Blues won the Stanley cup in 2019
This is a very uplifting message
The St Louis Blues won the Stanley cup in 2019
Jets fan dropping over to give my best wishes to Vlad and I hope for a full recovery. He is a rival but I have always been entertained by his talent and have enjoyed watching the battles over the seasons.
Really hoping he makes it back.
I AM NOT WORRIED. IN ARMY, STILLMAN AND CHIEF I TRUST.
We made the moves, got ROR and WON the DAMN Cup. This ain't the same old Blues and yeah, 91 is having another surgery and he will be fine. Just because he might not be the impact player he was/could have been/whatever doesn't mean he's going to slow down, he'll change a bit and he'll get out there with fire because he'll have something to prove with everyone crying that his career is over, he won't be same, whatever. This team and these boys have proven us wrong, take heed.
Pie will remain a Blue. We will clear coin and make moves, Husso is damn near going to be our backup/tandem, a few will go, we'll sign a few others and hit the next season with a vengeance. The curtain for a change is wide open with a Cup at our feet, time to plan and get us a second one. F-K COVID, F-K the hates and let's go Blues!!
STL has some great healthcare, but I am not sure if orthopedic surgeons + rehab is one of them.Anybody else find it interesting that he didn't have it done here?
I hope he went to the best surgeon in the world. I would be surprised if that were the team medical staff.Anybody else find it interesting that he didn't have it done here?

Do we know did his last surgery? I haven't been able to find anything specific other than this interview with Dr. Lehman, but I don't think that's who did it. Although this does provide some interesting insight into the injury, according to this doctor he had up to a 30% chance it would come out again.

If the odds went from 8%-10% after the first surgery to 25%-30% after the second, that doesn’t inspire much confidence in the prognosis after a 3rd surgery given that he was on the wrong side of the odds the first two times. At some point you have to be concerned about life after hockey not just will he play again.Do we know did his last surgery?

I think he'll play again just because he loves the game so much, and yeah that may well have an effect on him further down the line. I do think it is sadly safe to say that the guy we saw who could score 40 goals is not the guy we will have going forward.
“If it’s easy to come out, it’s easy to come out. And so, what makes you think it’s not going to come out again,” Lehman said.
Lehman says the injury is not career-threatening but he thinks it could affect Tarasenko’s future.
“He can come back and he can be a very, very good player. Can he be the same player before his dislocations? That’s hard because you lose a little bit of range of motion, you lose a little bit of strength,” he said.
Yeah, he won’t be worth it.I think he'll continue playing, but I agree I wouldn't project him in that 40 goal ballpark. I'm setting my expectations for the 20-25 range and if he beats he beats it, and I'll happy being wrong. The other part of that article that concerns me along with the percentage chance of re-injuring is the next few quotes:
That's the quote talking about after 2, so it doesn't bode well for after a 3rd surgery. I'm a huge Vladi fan so if we can have a 20-25 goal healthy Tarasenko, I will happily take that over no Tarasenko. But then there's realistically a conversation of whether a reduced effectiveness, post triple surgery, high priced Tarasenko is worth having. I almost could see a Fabbri like situation (and I realize he has an NTC) where he comes back but isn't utilized as much and eventually traded to a team either trying to meet salary floor or willing to add him to their rebuild.
Nooo. I don't want to hear that now!Yeah, he won’t be worth it.
Tarasenko is making $7.5 million per year. And he’s only worth that if he’s hitting 35+ goals. Anything in the 20’s and that’s too expensive because he doesn’t offer anything in terms of defense or other parts of the game.
Therefore it’s very possible we let him go at the time his contract expires. Schenn’s contract is already going to be our future boat anchor. Even if he takes a discount, I’m not likely to be willing to go long-term with Tarasenko, when he will already be 31 heading into UFA. But at least we know this now instead of his shoulder f***ing up after we just extended him through age 38 lol.
