Injury Report: 2021/22 Injury Thread Part II of ∞

[Nihiliste]

Yeah I think it’s him, not someone close to him, based on how he’s been playing. Not himself at all since coming back

 

[AnimalMother73]

Would not surprise me that concussions alter mental state. He could be struggling w/ confidence and/or anxiety that is compromising his play and some time away and medical help may get him to a better place, fingers crossed.

That's the scary thing. I really really really hope its not concussion related and that something else in his life is going on.

 

[dahrougem2]

It's difficult to see this kid in and out of the lineup and expect that he's going to have any form of long-term NHL career.

 

[nammerus]

This feels like Hishon. Except many times worse given the glimpses of how good he could be.

 

[Peter Peckerwood]

His game is about confidence and swagger. So, yeah, I agree.

 

[AvsFan29]

My gut tells me it's a mental health issue and he was given some time to go home, see some family and try to reset.

Potentially, but why fly to Nashville? I'm guessing it was a family emergency.

Exclusive: Why Bo Byram left the Avalanche for personal reasons

Shit

Exclusive: Why Bo Byram left the Avalanche for personal reasons

Shit

f***

 

[AvsFan29]

f***. Apparently it is due to post concussion symptoms. f***

Exclusive: Why Bo Byram left the Avalanche for personal reasons

Shit

He needs to take the season off. Unfortunately for us, this could be a high chance of another Nolan Patrick situation (albeit Byram looked more effective during his limited time).

 

[Spilot23]

I hope he can manage to comeback next year or at some point. Sad to see the kid having these kinds of symptoms from a dirty hit. Freaking Kolesar didn't even get a call freaking hell.

 

[AvsCOL]

Agreed. He’s gonna be gone a while…


Hope the best for Bo. Hockey isn’t more important than your mental health.

 

[Alex Jones]

Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't come back again this season. Hope he is able to find the right solution to help him.

 

[Balthazar]

This is Timmins part 2

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Get better Bo, take your time. Quality of life is more important than NHL hockey.

 

[Vaslof]

That's very very worrying. And this shit could happen to anyone as long as head hits remain.

 

[AvsFan29]

Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't come back again this season. Hope he is able to find the right solution to help him.

I would be extremely surprised if that were the case. Post concussion symptoms are touch and go. They go away and come back. He's an absolute gamer and wants to be playing.

So many people are ready to write this kids career off, when they don't even understand the issues he's dealing with.

Recovering from a concussion isn't a linear thing. It's not like a broken arm where you can estimate how long it will take to heal, and then actually see whether the bone has healed or not. Brain injuries can dissappear and then flare up again.

 

[LOFIN]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see Dater reaching out to his family when he's away from "personal reasons". What a tool.

 

[Ararana]

First time I've said or even considered it, but just take the f***ing season off. At this rate he may never get past these damn things.

So disappointing and frustrating for everyone involved. I'm starting to mentally add Byram to shelf that holds Hishon, Timmins, and Mueller. But given how high Byram was selected and how fantastic he was when healthy this one is going to hurt like a bitch.

 

[missionAvs]

Welp that sucks. Hope for the best for Byram but it's tough to envision him getting past this right now. I hope he takes all the time he needs and then some.

 

[kchan9]

Get well soon kid. We love ya and will continue to root for you no matter if you're on or off the ice. Your health is and should be your main priority

 

[The Merchant]

Nightmare scenario.

 

[sethro109]

This makes me sad. Get well soon Bo.

 

[Vaslof]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see Dater reaching out to his family when he's away from "personal reasons". What a tool.

Wonder if he asked the parents "Has Bo considered just going out there and you know, playing?"
