Nas19 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 For a week or two now, Letang has been battling a mysterious illness. Rob Rossi just wrote an article updating his condition and he says that the Penguins were actually worried that his career could be in jeopardy. Scary stuff. Hope Letang gets better soon.

Green Building Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 So they "were" concerned, but there is no update. I wonder what he might have had. If we all get only one guess, my shot in the dark is Leukemia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody Hates Raymond Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Career-threatening? I hope it's just like a nasty staph infection, not something like HIV... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sQuish Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Have him in my pool and saw the Yahoo update. Sucky. He's had a terrible season injury wise. Had an elbow infection a few weeks back that required surgery so I'm sure it's something related; the infection maybe went into the bloodstream and maybe not responding well to the antibiotics. Poor guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sQuish Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Bacteremia and/or sepsis is my guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*VaNcOuVeRCaNuCkS* Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Lul, it's very unlikely he would get something like HIV Most likely a blood issue stemming from his previous elbow surgery/infection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hopefully he recovers quickly. Hard not to root for the guy considering how close he was to Bourdon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Lul, it's very unlikely he would get something like HIV Young, famous, millionaire, athlete. I'm sure the opportunities are there if he's not careful. But yeah, more likely complications from surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagori78 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Was born with a small hole in his heart which didn't heal, possibly caused him to suffer a stroke last week, Looks like with six weeks of medical treatment he may be evaluated again to see if he can resume his career. For now he is out of danger and able to go on vacation with his family as long as he takes medication to thin his blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Wow. You never think of people this young having a stroke. Hope he makes a full recovery. And perhaps his nickname should now be Kris 'Nature Boy' Letang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Dam thats scary... Hopefully he heals and is able to continue his playing career, if not atleast he has a SC ring and a nice career to show for it. All the best Kris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
