HKSR Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Holy crap. Hope he's ok. I'm guessing this might be a sign for Letang to hang up the skates and focus on his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Oh man. I think this is the second time this has happened. I can’t remember if it was something to do with his heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t remember if it was something to do with his heart. This was my first thought as well. I think this could be it- at least from a human perspective, I hope it is. What a legendary career.

Popular Post Fanuck Posted November 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) Nothing in life is more important than your health and the health of your loved ones. He's had more than a good run - might be time to re-evaluate priorities. Edited November 30, 2022 by Fanuck 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -DLC- Posted November 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2022 He's my favourite non Canuck...I remember when he had his last one. Life is fragile and fleeting and we really have to remember to enjoy it. I wish him all the best in his recovery. @smithers joe seems you're in good company and even the young guys aren't immune. (Hope you're doing well also) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/kris-letang-stroke-out-indefinitely-pittsburgh-penguins-1.1886431 "Kris reported symptoms to the training staff on Monday and was immediately taken to the hospital for testing," said Hextall. "The test results were shocking to hear, but we are grateful that Kris is doing well. We are thankful to the medical staff and the physicians at UMPC. He is a warrior on the ice, but first and foremost, he is a son, father, husband and friend. His health is our number one priority." The Montreal, Que. native missed over two months of the 2014 season due to a stroke. At the time, testing reveal that he was born with a very small hole in the wall of his heart. He has played 543 regular season games and 69 playoff games since his initial stroke. "I am fortunate to know my body well enough to recognize when something isn't right," said Letang. "While it is difficult to navigate this issue publicly, I am hopeful it can raise awareness. It is important for me that my teammates, family and the fans know that I am okay. I am optimistic that I will be back on the ice soon." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Warhippy Posted November 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2022 That's terrifying. When I was in uni my dad suffered two major strokes in a week that basically left him unable to continue working and he was never the same after that. Scary thing to have to go through and I hope he can return to the game soon as he has always been fun to watch and a 1st ballot HoF player. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hope you're doing well also) He's one of mine too due to his friendship with Luc. Hopefully he makes a full recovery with no lasting effects and is able to enjoy his family, regardless of any return to hockey. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Oh boy, surely that's it for his career but wish him all the best. Wonder what this means for Pittsburgh, if they'll be on the hunt for a top defenceman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Hit's too close to home for me. And similar time of year too. I kind of don't feel so bad now. Letang is a world class athlete. It's scary it can happen to someone perfectly healthy. My stroke was a warning sign to take better care of myself. Good luck, and full recovery Kris. It might be a longer road than you want. But I'm glad they got it looked at right away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Again, and he's still relatively young (maybe not by player standards, but you know what I mean). Goes to show that it can happen to anyone, peak condition or not. Life is precious, gotta value it while you can. Hopefully he bounces back quick.

Kind of alarming that this is his second stroke. You don't often hear of people that young having strokes. Clearly they are minor, as he wouldn't have returned to hockey after the first one. Best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
