VegasCanuck Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 38 minutes ago, Provost said: I got to the point in martial arts after many concussions that I would get woozy even if lightly hit in sparring and wearing full head gear. 20 years later, and I can’t be in loud places, have to wear sunglasses all the time, and have almost no short term memory. These things come home to roost when you get older. If this is another concussion he really does need to stop. He gets the rest of his contract in insurance and can be comfortable his entire life. That really sucks. We know so much more now about concussions than we did 20 or 30 years ago, if he has another concussion, they really need to just shut him down for the season and get an opinion on whether he should ever play again. Its not worth it, he has a family and kids to think about, needs to see if he can find another job in hockey that doesn't involve physical play. Scouting or consulting or something. Some players try and stay too long when their bodies are giving them REALLY clear warning signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone's different........I've had a dozen, easily, and I have no discernible after effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung1 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I didn't see the game yesterday. Was there a specific play that he might have gotten injured on? Did he fight someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though I was fine after my last concussion, everyone else found me to be an argumentative, annoying, depressing jerk though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Matt Dunigan has talked of his last concussion and how he finally realized it was past time to hang up his cleats. Injured in a road game, was taken to the hospital for an overnight stay. Checked himself out part way through the night, taxi to the airport and book flight. Take the flight home, taxi home everything just fine. pay for the cab, walk to the front door, gets keys out of pocket..... but can't figure out how to make the key open the door. Found on doorstep by his wife 3 or 4 hours later. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlastPast Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Iirc it seems that when a player gets put in concussion protocol it gets announced fairly quickly. That it hasn't been announced yet is encouraging. Hopefully just a tweak and ZM just up as a precaution . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the weird part about concussions and why they are so hard to treat properly. Some people are back to normal quickly, for others it takes years or perhaps the effects are permanent.

If Loui stays on the roster the entire year and a guy like Schaller gets waived then most likely there is an agreement for Loui to retire in the summer once his bonus is paid. I can't see any other logical reason as to why they would keep Loui on the roster over any other player. And when every Canuck fan knows what is happening it probably means Bettman knows as well. Time for another Lou rule to screw the Canucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope its a minor injury for our big guy and not a concussion. Was so excited for this signing. When he's in the lineup we are a better team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have to consider shutting him down, I'm sure they'll look at all their options. This really sucks though, I was excited to have him as a Canuck but he can't catch a break. He could be a good piece for us. He was signed after the free agent frenzy at below market value. Clearly all GMs felt there was risk. Jim made a gamble and lost. Too bad for us, and more unfortunate for Micheal Ferland. I think if you asked Jim in confidence, he'd say he knew this might happen. Not a lot different than the Kassian to Montreal trade, Bergavin knew what he might get and knew that he might not. What Kassian and Ferland can bring the same, but why they may not bring it is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing guys who've had concussions is always a risk, with hockey being a contact sport there's always the chance more concussions happen. His tenure hasn't gone the way we'd like but that's just how it goes sometimes. We've got the same concerns with Baer and he's still playing. I don't think you'd need to ask him in confidence, the risk of players who've gotten concussions playing contact sports potentially having it happen again playing contact sports is a pretty basic thing to understand. All you one can do is hope for the best. Hopefully this isn't a concussion, but if it is I wouldn't be surprised to see him pull a Baer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
