No. Why would that happen?

sometimes I like to ignorantly spread misinformation from time to time.

Yeah, I'm hoping it's a hockey cultural shift where having such awful problems and seeking real help is no longer a negative talking point.

I listened to an interview with Glenn Healey last season and it sounds like he’s put in a lot of work helping players behind the scenes. It’s slowly being destigmatized and there’s a lot we as fans don’t get to see.

Certainly seems to be moving in the right direction and we’ll have less post-career tragedies.

The Joker to my Batman. I appreciate it.

Good to hear, I hope players themselves can also recognize their problems and address them early. Shorter career can still mean a long fulfilling life, but trying to have the same life as a broken person is much harder.

EDIT: Destigmatized, that's the word I was looking for! F***!
