Injury Report: Sven Baertschi placed on IR

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Felt " off" after game in Colorado.

Played 2 of the last 3 shifts for Canucks in Avs game.

Got hit from behind in the game but popped right up.

Could be feeling the effects of a whiplash but Canucks are being safe given his concussion history this year.

Did not fly out of Denver for at least 24 hrs.

When it rains it pours, boys.

I really hope for Svens sake that isn't another concussion. He should probably retire if this the case. That hit vs Avs was a nothing play.

I guess the bottom line is that we can punt him on LTIR, gives more more cap space to go for Panarin/Stone

Umm I think we only get the cap space when the season starts, not during the off-season

If I was Sven I woukd consider retirement.

How many repetitive concussions has he had? It comes to a point where it’s not worth it anymore.

You can go over the cap during off season

Oh for f*** sake...

Again? Seriously???

 

[Cogburn]

I just hope it's nothing new.

Get well soon Baertschi.

Sven is probably bound for an early retirement. It makes the most sense for his long term health, plus he got a decent final contract to make some money.

Absolutely nothing done about the hit that originally caused it. Sickening.

f*** this bullshit league.
