Brock Boeser out indefinitely with blood-clotting

[Leonardo87]

Hey Folks,

Please leave out the speculation of how the blood-clot may have occurred. You know what I’m referring to, so let’s not go down that road. Thank you.

What sort of site won't let us talk about how this obviously happened during the Canucks' post-game tickle fight in the dressing room.

 

[UnSandvich]

Sucks for him, man. If it's any consolation though, Chris Kreider came back from blood clotting issues and has had the best years of his career since

I THOUGHT THIS WAS MURICA

Hey Hockey Gods. I know it's only been 54 years so I hate to pester you again, but could you please not knock out our top playoff goalscorer in advance of a crucial game? That would be great.

Oh wait, what?

 

[Viqsi]

I've been perfectly happy to stay irrationally righteously annoyed with him all this time for hat-tricking my Preds into OT oblivion and then going and pulling a similar stunt to the next team, and then something like this has to go and happen.

Hope everything works out for him in the end and he gets well soon.

Ain't where you are.

Really unfortunate for Brock. This series has been an all-timer and he's been one of the best players in it. What a hell of a comeback year. Hope he can recover quickly.

 

[TheNumber4]

Sucks for Brock, hope he gets better soon. But it’s good to hear he should be completely fine and it’s one of those issues sports science has a pretty good grasp of in handling. Nucks fans should not fear, he will be fine and that’s all that matters, his health.

 

[Chaos2k7]

How can anyone not feel empathy for Boeser? Disgusting hot takes to the contrary in here.

Hopefully he comes back better than ever.

Are the tickle fights a celebration activity after a win or a punshment activity after a loss?

This is important information.

 

[Xelebes]

That sucks. Sounds like an outide-of-hockey thing which is worse. Get better, Brock.

 

[Zaddy91]

bummer

Yes.

 

[Paul4587]

Brutal. Get better, Brock.

How many breaks does Edmonton need?

You know Edmontons best player is playing at about 70% and can barely shoot the puck right? Both teams are getting plenty of breaks.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Damn that sucks! He's been through so much and was playing so great. Hope for a speedy recovery!

 

[Profet]

Chris Kreider had a blood clotting issue a few years ago. Had a rib partially removed and then went on to have his best statistical years.

 

[WiLBoY]

No demko and now boeser

Hopefully a speedy recovery

 

[Beau Knows]

Why is there so much blood clotting all of a sudden

I think players these days are just (rightfully) more careful with their health, I wouldn't be surprised if players were just expected to "play through" this kind of thing more often in the past.

Kind of like how it was virtually unheard of for players to take time off to get help with substance abuse or mental health issues until recently. Players in general have been taking their health and life after hockey more seriously, and that's a great thing. At the end of the day it's just a game, it's not worth risking your life over.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

That's really shitty. Wishing for a speedy recovery.

Cool. Kinda like that Marilyn Manson fellow. /jk it's good to know it's possible to find the source and treat it.

That's an answer to a question I didn't ask

We are all mourning the plight Edmonton is facing.

 

[Beau Knows]

You asked why we were hearing about blood clots more often now (presumably in the context of the NHL), I think my post addresses that question with a reasonable explanation.

If this happened to a player in the 80's, I bet we never hear about it and he plays despite the risk. Times have changed, and I think for the better in this regard.
