48MPHSlapShot Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 What an absolutely horrifying thing for anyone to have to go through. My thoughts and prayers go out to Evander and his family during this difficult time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best to you and your family, Evander. Exactly this, not a fan of some of the stuff he's done in the past but he definitely doesn't deserve this. At least he has Karlsson as a teammate to understand and help him and his wife with what they're going through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 No parent should have to bury their child. I'm far from a fan of his but some things are more important than hockey and this is one of them. Luckily the Sharks aren't in danger of missing the playoffs so he can take whatever time off he needs to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Terrible stuff for him and his wife to go through. I imagine though, it would be so much more difficult after having the baby and then losing her. Not trying to be insensitive, just putting things into perspective. Hope they can heal from this and one day welcome a healthy child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilight Sparkle Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 sadly, stillbirths are trending upwards more and more in recent years. it's terrible and no one really knows why. that's an awful thing to have to go through it doesn't matter who you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 As someone who has had experienced similar, it's pretty much the worst feeling anyone can feel. At 26 weeks... you can clearly see all the fingers, toes, facial features... it's a little person. RIP to the little one and condolences to the Kane family. 52 minutes ago, Twilight Sparkle said: sadly, stillbirths are trending upwards more and more in recent years. it's terrible and no one really knows why. that's an awful thing to have to go through it doesn't matter who you are Apparently preemie birth rate is growing, like 1 in 9 births.

-AJ- Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 So sad to see a life lost like this. Never really liked Kane on the ice, but some things are much bigger than hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleJack Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 My heart breaks for Kane and his family there truly is no worse loss then that of a baby. I hope they are able to find support and healing in such a horrible time. 3 hours ago, Warhippy said: Some things we just don't need to post or comment on. This would be one of them As someone who has actually gone through this (as well as suffered additional miscarriages) I have to disagree. It is very important to not only honor the baby whose life was lost but also recognize that those who have suffered such a loss are still parents. It's important to let Kane (and other families like his) know they are not alone. Its especially important to help spread awareness about stillbirth and infant loss as it happens way to much. The worse possible thing someone could do is not talk about stillbirth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently preemie birth rate is growing, like 1 in 9 births. The bright side is that side is that survival rates are climbing too. We know why. Though it absolutely does not apply in EK's case, its to do with massive spike in pregnancies at over 30. Western world for the past 2 generation cycles ( as in ~ 20 year periods) is the first time in human history where the dominant majority of mothers are over 30. While pregnancy complications shoot up in the +40 year age group, it still has a noticable uptick in the +30 group compared to below 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maketherightmove Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 The title of this reads really oddly. It's saying it as if it's some epidemic among NHL players' partners. Not sure I'd call it clickbait, but just very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's so much that it's happening at a higher rate, I just think it's due to population growth. The more grapes you have the more bad ones your going to have. Very sad story, not a fan of Evander as a hockey player, but nobody should have to bury a child. Wish him well while he battles with this hard time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Recently a friend told me some interesting stats about miscarriages. Now I know that in Kane's situation, it wouldn't classify as a miscarriage because it came after the 20th week. Apparently 15 to 20% of pregnancies end up in a miscarriage. This number is probably even a lot higher except that a lot of women don't even realize that they're pregnant if it results in an early miscarriage. Just some food for thought. It's a taboo subject, but it really shouldn't be. If people knew how frequent it is, it would be easier to talk about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
