08:35 AM ET 05.09 | Ryan Kesler had what might be considered a down season, and we found out why on Tuesday. [His left shoulder was] operated on Tuesday to repair a torn labrum. And the Canucks confirmed Tuesday that Kesler had played through the injury through the last third of the season. ... Kesler only missed the first five games of this past year's regular season after off-season hip surgery. He figures to sit out a longer stretch next season. The Canucks pegged his recovery time at six months, meaning it is unlikely Kesler will be available until mid-November at the earliest. "Six months is average, it can be five months, it depends on how the person heals and what the rehab is like," Gilman said.

Mark Streit of the Isles had the same surgery.....VERY long recovery and he finally started playing like his old self by about the All Star Break.

Bad news for Vancouver, I like Kelser

Channeling inner Hank...that's the type of injury you get when you flop like a dandy. He's taking too many pointers from the sisters. The Chets on the island have got to be concerned about this...for some reason.

And from that line maybe Hank will take to calling the Sedins the Pointer Sisters.

The director of Vancouver's production of "Alice in Wonderland" that Kesler will have a bit part in for the summer.

Not bad my friend.

I'm thinking He Man Von Kelser does what he always does and comes back too soon so it never fully heals.

Hoping anyway.
