  SAN JOSE -- His right arm encased in a sling, Valeri Bure tried to remain upbeat.
 "The good news is, it's still there," sighed the Flames' winger, surveying his ailing wing.
 "I don't know anything about this. All I know is that it's stiff, sore. I'm hoping to play at home against Vancouver."
 That's being very optimistic.
 The suspected injury is a sublexed shoulder, which could in a worst-case scenario keep Bure out for the rest of the season.
 He flew back to Calgary yesterday for x-rays to determine the extent of the damage.
 The Russian Pocket Rocket was injured when 200-lb. Mike LeClerc of the Mighty Ducks fell on top of him, Bure's right arm awkwardly outstretched to try and prevent the fall, during Sunday's 3-3 OT tie at the Pond.
 "When he fell on it, (the shoulder) popped out of place and I put it back in. I tried to roll over and I couldn't feel it. That was a very scary moment."
 Bure spent a difficult night in his hotel room following the incident.
 "I couldn't lie on my side so I slept on my back," he moaned. "My back hurt.
 "My sides hurt. I didn't get much sleep, to say the least."
