... Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Vanek has made an entry on his blog (you'll have to cut-and-paste the entire URL since the forum engine parses it incorrectly): http://www.thomasvanek.at/index.php?id=31&...1&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=172&tx_ttnews[backPid]=2&cHash=f60b2d9d15 "I haven?t set myself a deadline when I want to play again. The doctors said that I would miss at least 4 weeks altogether. But it could also be 5 to 6 weeks. We?ll just have to wait and see. The only thing certain is that I?ll be wearing a full visor helmet when I get back. That?s because the jaw-braces will stay put for another month from now. Otherwise the risk would be to big." So, here we are - the Sabres will be without Vanek throughout nearly the remainder of the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is out four weeks and if it doesn't heal correctly it could be longer. Where is the news here? Here is another news flash. Vanek won't be 100% when he does comeback and his game will be affected by getting use to the full visor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you have low self-esteem, and posts like yours are meant to diminish others in an attempt to aid said low self-esteem, but typically it's best to get "news" from the source. I had not, hitherto now, seen or heard (the latter being the most unlikely) any input on Vanek's injury and status from Vanek himself. No one prior has mentioned up to six weeks, and no one could or would confirm the type of protection he'll use once back on the ice. For those interested in the topic, this is news. If it makes you feel good to diminish me and/or the value of the news, so be it, but what goes around comes around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When reports say he is going to miss at least 3-4 weeks that means it can be longer. 5-6 weeks is included in that. It could also be 7-8 weeks if he suffers any set backs. Also, Was there speculation in regards to his future protective gear? Was there any doubt after breaking his jaw he would wear full protection. I will go out on a limb and say the Sabres would insist upon it. Don't worry about my self esteem. I wouldn't come here for a boost. I would do what every other red blooded American does when their self esteem is low. I hit the strip clubs and bang a hooker. It's a much more effective cure than posting on a hockey board.

Buffalo Wings Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 So, here we are - the Sabres will be without Vanek throughout nearly the remainder of the regular season. If it's 5-6 weeks, that makes it the middle of March....still 3-4 weeks left in the regular season, about 10-15 games before the end. Should they hang around in a playoff spot until he gets back to 100% (which includes his first 2-3 games back from injury), then I'm happy. I don't know how much of his workouts would be limited by this injury, but I'm sure he'll keep in shape during his "time off". He would just have to get himself up to game speed before we can consider him as 100% as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 it's newsworthy to read what vanek has to say about his injury. and it doesn't seem worthwhile to debate that issue, frankly. iirc, the team said initially he'd be out "at least 3-4 weeks." now vanek's acknowledging that it could be more like 5-6 weeks, especially given the time it's going to take for him to regain his strength and fitness. so, it looks to me like, of the 24 games we have left in our regular season, we can expect to have him back for 1/3 to 1/2 of them. we should also expect him to be operating at a diminished capacity for the first few games that he returns.

... Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I haven't tried this, and don't see it happening anytime soon. I have put DeLuca on my ignore list from time to time and it makes me feel better. He (or it - deluca as it were) must have the day off or is wasting a lot of some one's money posting from work. At any rate... To me this is interesting for a variety of reasons; chief among them being that I was curious to know how Vanek himself was going to respond to Vanek's injury. I suppose it's no more than what I expected from him; he comes across as a no-nonsense type of person. It's nice to see he is taking the high road and enjoying the family time as opposed to moaning and groaning and feeling sorry for himself. Also, the 5-6 week potential (or as Dr. deluca has it - 7-8 week potential) is significantly more than the "official" word on Vanek's potential absence from the roster. I wonder if this possibility alone is making the front office look into more last minute deals than they might have otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
