Stretcher brought into canucks dressing room, burrows taken to hospital by ambulance

[redhdlois]

Good news that they didn't use the lights or sirens, but bad news that he was stretchered into the ambulance, he didn't walk. If it were just a wrist or something you wouldn't think they would use an ambulance and even if they did he would likely just walk.

Really, really hope he's going to be okay!!

The only thing I worry about is sometimes they don't put the emergency sirens on until they hit the highway/street.

Praying he is ok.

I'm sorry, but that comment is beyond ridiculous

why? It's entirely possible? Isn't this a discussion thread?

Hope burr is healthy again very soon.

Team needs to rally around this tonight and win it for burr.

[87Crosby]

If burr can play he'll play. He's a fighter.

Because....timing?

When it's in the throes of, that's your concern? Your first thought?

[GLASSJAW]

Wrist? I think it has to be something more, I mean who gets stretchered and taken to the hospital by ambulance for a wrist injury? Must be something pretty significant.

don't people get put on stretchers for pretty much all sorts of injuries? they are not reserved for people who are incapacitated i don't think?

could just be a nasty laceration or something?

[Raspberries]

all the reporters at the arena during practice and we're getting such little information. I need something official from the team before I lose my mind.

[falcon45ca]

you don't need a stretcher for a wrist.

What's going on?

That's how ambulance transports work, they have you in the stretcher...paramedics have to asses vitals, even if it's a small/simple injury like a broken wrist. It's not unusual, my dad's a paramedic, they put pretty much every patient on the stretcher.

[avelanch]

Maybe a sprained leg from a fall, not a heart attack or concussion.

Apparently Burr clutched his wrist and yelled "help!"

i read that he was clutching/favouring his shoulder.

Commercials seem so out of place as you await word of some sort....

Omg Burrows leaving the saddledom in an ambulance that sounds pretty serious....

[Boudrias]

I do not believe there is a option about the gurney use if a ambulance is called. No such thing as a

patient walking to the ambulance.

[Canuck23]

Could be a big cut, went into shock and needed to contain some blood loss or something from a wrist cut, or a very seriously broken bone, with the bone sticking out or something. I mean, if the teams saying its not life threatening and not a big issue it isn't, they would not make any statement, just say we are not in a position to comment on burrows status at this time. So it is something maybe serious, but may not even impact him for the entire playoffs.

Except my asthmatic son, who couldn't breathe and whose tongue was going numb...WITH a history of brain aneurysms and other things. They went and sat in the ambulance until he struggled to walk out there, in the rain, on his own. I had a lot to say when I reached the hospital.

Canucks PR said it is, "not a medical issue, not life threatening and is injury related"

[-DLC-]

"discomfort with an upper body injury"

He won't play (duh), but that's the least of our worries

[Harvey Specter]

Burrows is pretending to be down and out only to be a game time decision and score 4 goals.

Hopefully..

Hopefully! This is definitely not cool.... Please be alright Burr!
