Player Discussion Patrik Laine: Part 2 - Healthy Living Edition

[CapSpace]

He supposedly had the flu in January too. Getting it twice in the same season seems medically unlikely.

There are different strains.

If it's not the flu, it's on the organization for lying about the situation, not on Laine.

 

[GordonGraham]

You have guys broken in half like Anderson Gallagher... dressing up and the diva doesnt play cause of cold, he must be really popular with his teamates

 

[HespelerGreenFlash]

He didn't get sick in February.

Very literal arent ya . Yes, hes a virtual Lou Gehrig. And he had two weeks off in Feb for the 4 nations. Minus 3 games for Finland

You don't want someone who's sick coming into the team and making everyone else sick.

It makes no sense.

It’s still unlikely.

If only we had more players like Anderson and Gallagher

My kingdom for more players like Anderson and Gallagher

It is.

Still, the organization could arrive in 2025 and stop f***ing around with injuries, sickness and leaves.

What?

You can't completely avoid getting sick when they travel everywhere then go to arenas full of people, and then everywhere else they go because they have lives. Medical staff can only do so much.

Second, someone is taking a leave of absence for mental health issues or because a family member died or is terminal or something. How could you complain about that? And before you talk about a psychologist preventing things, they'd likely advise a leave anyway

I mean the organization keep feeding us bullshit with lower/upper body injuries since forever, or blaming the flu for whatever bullshit happens.

It's possible Laine got the flu two times. But given the Habs history of hiding things or being vague, it's also possible it's not that.

So again, drama for either a flu, or being bullshited with what's going on.

 

[VT]

Symptoms are similar to the flu, they say, so it may be a different disease. In addition, while painkillers can be used for injuries, illnesses weaken the body, slowing down reactions. And this is even when there are no temperatures. And if the player still has psychological problems, it must manifest itself. So what's the point of him playing.

Btw, since he was depressed, he's most likely on medication. And psychiatric drugs affect the brain and nervous system.

Insanity in this thread and in the media.

Hockey’s obsession with not disclosing the actual injury is beyond moronic.

The comments here are absolutely bonkers. After that you wonder why no star player wants to come here? Does he need to show the media his doctor’s note so that fans can stop questioning his integrity? The guy is sick! It happens, let him rest up and heal without all this nonsense.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Flu-gate.

Luc Gelinas is Stephen A Smith to Laine's Lebron.

Insanity in this thread and in the media.

I miss it so bad though.

 

[CHwest]

I'm embarrassed for some of you.

You can if you wear a mask almost everywhere. And are there other players with the flu? Of course as someone posted it's possible the medication he is likely taking could lower his immunity.

The mask will not help prevent infection, but it will prevent someone from infecting others.

YES

 

[Mike C]

If he can go to the rink he ain’t that sick, why would they risk the entire team and staff getting sick? Makes no sense

I used to use the word "sick" for perpetual hangover too!

 

[BLONG7]

Insanity in this thread and in the media.

The media in MOntreal...... is insane at times.....lol

Laine got sick earlier in the year when the went West also..........this has some weird vibes to it for sure........
But seriously guys, relax. The guy has been a poster boy for mental health struggles, and people applauded him for being so sharing with his plight... Or does it only count while he scores goals??

 

[Chomsky22]

You have guys broken in half like Anderson Gallagher... dressing up and the diva doesnt play cause of cold, he must be really popular with his teamates

If it’s the same going around since the last few weeks, i lost at least 5 pounds and was sleeping 12 hours a day and at least two days straight, maybe cut him some slack.

 

[Skip Bayless]

LAINE HATE TRAIN CAUSE WE BORED AS f***

I guess most of the medical doctors in this thread are disappointed.
But thanks, was looking for this info.
