I could post anything I want - I choose to post stuff I hear in any form I hear it. Was told Sven tried a skate - heard later his result wasn't good afterwards. /story. Not much more can say than that. I am more of an outsider than anything else save for those I know/met along the way who care to share. When they do, and I know it is harmless and not "insidery", I often share herein. Take it or leave it. No skin off mine. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Very Concerned for Baer's health. Not skating yet and not on the horizon. How many concussions now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is at least his 3rd now. He got one in 2011 at the world Jr's and again in 2012 while with the Abbotsford Heat. Not sure if he got one when he broke his jaw in Dec 2017 but would not be surprised and now this latest one back in October. Not looking very good for Sven going forward.

It's a compounding effect too. Not good. Legitimately concerned about his future, and hopefully he takes all the time he needs even if he has to stay out for the year. His personal life is more important than any hockey career, and after so many concussions it's hard to go back to the same situation as before. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking that as well. This appears to be far more extensive that what anyone initially thought. Baer had a good start to the season and I thought he had a good chance of quieting the naysayers, but now I'm wondering if this will ever happen now. Really feel bad for Sven and I am very angry with the NHL as well. I don't see that the NHL cares about or understands the possible lifetime disabilities these head injuries can have. I hope that these players (with the support of the NHLPA) can find a way to fight back hard. These 'unoticed' infractions happen often enough and the ones that are called, regularly receive pitiful suspensions that are hardly a detriment. The NHL old boys club doesn't like change, but they need to be held to task on this matter. I want to see a much greater effort to stop these head shots once and for all. Yeah, I know that there are accidents that shouldn't be disciplined and I agree with that, but for all others should be dealt with a significant suspension and heavy fine. I'm sick and tired of seeing and hearing about the countless young men that are suffering with ongoing symptoms caused by careless and overly aggressive players. Oh yeah... start testing for steroids please. That's my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I too am very worried about Baer's health. He seems to be recovering very slowly and with some concussions in his past, I wonder if he'll still be able to compete at the same level when he returns. I'm a huge Baertschi fan, so this is insanely frustrating for me. Losing him definitely leaves a gap in our top 6. I hope he surprises and comes back just as strong as before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) This is not good. He gave an interview to a Swiss paper in German. It doesn't sound like he is making any kind of progress. He also doesn't know if it's the 4th or the 5th one but this one is hitting him really hard. He thought he could finish the game in Vegas but then felt so bad he had to see a doctor. Via google translate: "Last Saturday I returned to training for the first time since October 24th. But I had to stop this exercise after 15 minutes, because I was so dizzy. As soon as I move and turn properly, I see everything around me completely blurry and have a headache. " "A concussion can be cured after one and a half weeks, but it can take months. In this situation, I have no choice but to wait and think positive in spite of everything. " They interviewed him walking around Granville Island - that's the positive news. He's not at home in a dark room and away from any kind of contact. He says that he needs to make sure to be 100% healthy before returning because there's a long life after hockey. His wife is expecting their 1st child for April. Edited November 22, 2018 by mll 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wether people think he is not a top 6 winger on most teams or not, we miss him bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that has to be stress for him and his wife. Hope he is able to heal up fully and quickly for that. Nothing worse to have an ailment during an important journey in their life. Glad he is taking the right steps to be well properly because like he said, there is so much more in his life than hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattJVD Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Man that sucks. I'm glad Sven is under contract for a few more years. At least he'll be well looked after if this is a career ender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathew Barzal Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Whether he fully recovers or not, if I were Baertschi I would take a long look at calling it a career. At some point it's just not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
