Injury Report: Calvin de Haan (Eye)

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Any update on CDH?

Always enjoyed watching him play when he was an isle and hoping he has a full recovery.

I don't think there's been anything else released about his injury since the official announcement. Unless it was mentioned on a broadcast and I missed it.

Keeping my fingers crossed for a full recovery.
I always like to see ex-nyi homegrown players like Hamonic/CDH/KO do well.

I know they talked about it on the post game last night and they still don't have a time frame, other than they mentioned he's expected to return before the end of the regular season.

CDH is on ice at the Monday 'Canes Practise.
He's wearing a full visor.

He's not wearing yellow, so.

Hockey players must have some sort of bionic genes or they were all in Fortitude and survived the wasps.

If it feels a little loose, just mash it back in place.

 

[Ahoy there]

I see you CDH

well that gif failed, so...

Probably best. It was pretty gross and sure to piss some of you off for seeing it.

Clearly Calvin's a fan of Vader.

Ooohh Haaaa oohhh Hhaaa.

According to Chip's article, DeHann was basically blind for the 48 hours post-injury, and there's still a lot of blurriness, akin to being punched in the face and having your eyes water

Damn son

Hopefully his vision makes a full recovery. I'm not an optometrist so I don't know how long-term these injuries are.

Thanks Blueline...............happy to hear he's doing better!

Canes’ Calvin de Haan: ‘I was pretty much blind for 48 hours’
By Chip Alexander
“I was pretty much blind for 48 hours,” he said.
De Haan was treated off the ice at the arena but then taken to a Denver hospital, where he was evaluated by a specialist.
“It was down at the hospital and he said, ‘You should be all right,’” de Haan said. “That was the most optimistic thing he pretty much said the whole time. He said, ‘You’ve just got to lay low for a few days and let everything heal and go from there.’“
“They’re trying to keep the eye from moving, to let it heal,” he said. “That’s why I’m using industrial-strength dilating drops. It’s still a little blurry and probably not safe to be going full speed in a hockey game right now.
“It’s just bad luck more than anything. I’ve never been hit from my nose up. It is what it is.”
Eye injuries are scary things for any athlete. Former Canes coach Paul Maurice and former assistant general manager Jason Karmanos both had their hockey playing careers ended by eye injuries.
“I’ve always been surprised there aren’t more eye injuries with the rate of speed of the puck and the battles with the sticks,” Maurice said.
“It was a real bad one, real scary,” Brind’Amour said. “I thought I lost my eye, so I can relate to what he went through. ... I didn’t know at the time how serious it was until after, when I got rushed to the hospital. Then you start worrying. Obviously the vision part, that’s permanent."
“It puts a lot of things in perspective, that’s for sure. I’m just glad he’s going to be fine.”

Ooohh Haaaa oohhh Hhaaa.

Wrong Vader. I meant this one.

On February 10, 1990, Vader faced Stan Hansen at an AJPW versus NJPW supercard show. Before Vader entered the ring, Hansen accidentally broke Vader's nose with the bullrope Hansen carried to the ring for his matches. During an exchange of stiff punches, Hansen unintentionally poked Vader's left eye with his thumb during their brawl, which caused the eye to pop out of its socket.[20] After removing his mask, pushing the eye back into its socket and holding it in place with his eyelid, Vader continued wrestling Hansen until the match was rendered a no contest.[20] As a result of the injury, Vader required a metal plate to be surgically placed under his eye.

If this is the entirety of his treatment than he's probably just dealing with some severe inflammation caused by the trauma. I'd imagine if he got hit in the actual eye he'd have a much less optimistic prognosis by the specialist. Eyes don't pop easily but significant trauma to the front wouldn't allow him to recover this quickly. Probably some panuevitis (as treated by those industrial strength dilating drops and probably some steroids) and maybe some commotio retinae.

Cool report.
