I'm wondering if this is the Euro strain of the mumps. Was just told by a paramedic that it requires a different booster then the NA version.
A positive spin to this could mean that if there was any nagging injury bothering Parise, maybe this extended time off will allow him to heal and come back stronger than ever.
Suter didn't miss much time when he had it, but you could tell that it sucked the energy out of him for quite a while.The trouble is that in adults the Mumps can have lingering effects
Russo said Brodin missed 3 weeks last time, Ryan Suter missed just one game. He expects Parise and Pominville to miss 4 of the next 5 games.

****in mumps ******** god ****ing dammit Vancouver mother trucking pile of orca...
I am baffled as to how this can come up again after we dealt with it just two years ago. I assumed our front office and medical staff got everyone vaccinated when it surfaced the last time. Why would players need vaccinations again so soon? Did we have players that declined vaccinations? Did Parise and Pominville get vaccinations but they were not effective? I hope someone in the media will get more details on this. Right now there does not appear to be much transparency from the Wild (or other clubs) or the NHL on this issue.
There shouldn't be much transparency imo. You start getting into HIPAA laws.
The vaccinations aren't 100%, 88% is a number I've seen on here. 12% of a 23 man roster is ~2.74 players. Also mutations or different strands can render current vaccinations less effective. A weakened immune system, ie getting strep multiple times in a year, makes people more susceptible.
Which is why it's important that everyone get vaccines, to help people that aren't able to receive them.
No, you won't get autism.
Suter may have only missed one game but he played like rotten dog farts for weeks afterward.
This is just not Parise's year. His best approach moving forward might be to go volunteer in a school lunchroom and lick all the trays clean.
Woulda been fun to see Fletcher's face when he learned they had the mumps.
