f*** that sounds awful. Wishing him the best.

 

[Amadeus]

Wish him the best and a speedy recovery! Scary to see that!

 

[talkinaway]

Terrible news. All the best to Brodie, and hope he's well - everything else is secondary.

 

[Kahvi]

All the best, hopefully this is nothing serious

 

[Bounces R Way]

Loubo was on the radio giving an interview when it happened, was pretty shook up.

Wish TJ the best and a full recovery

This is awful. I know Brodie is a lot of people's favorite whipping boy, but when he's on his game he's a very good defenseman. I hope he's ok and we can see him on the ice again soon

Heard it as I was driving back to work - definitely very shaken up when he was talking with Kersh and Klein. Hope Brodie is ok and it's not something underlying that's more serious. Regardless - scary stuff.

Other tweets from Francis and Steinberg indicate it was a seizure of sorts. You'd have to think TJ won't be on this road trip and may be out for a while until they get to the bottom of things.

That’s going to really f***ing suck if true. For a team that already has had its struggles with transition, this is just twisting the knife.

His health is paramount though, so no question it’s for the best even if it hurts.

On a serious note. I hope everything is okay and it is nothing serious. Our thoughts are with you Brodes

 

[FlamerForLife]

Hope Brodie is well, health comes before anything else and hopefully he has a speedy recovery.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

All the best Brodes, hockey is 2nd to health. Prayers are with you.

 

[1989]

Terrible news, hoping it's not as serious as it sounds. Between his wife's health issues and now his own, have to hope for the best in their challenging times.

 

[Calculon]

Well this sucks. Hopefully he gets better soon.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Sad to read this. Hoping he is healthy and back at it soon for you Flames fans.

 

[tfong]

That sucks.

 

[Corpus X]

What a bum! Now he's worthless on the trading front! Fire Treliving! Fire Peters! ... And somebody get me a drink!

Here's to a full and speedy recovery!

 

[Rubi]

Sounds awful....


It was a terrifying scene at Scotiabank Saddledome on Thursday when TJ Brodie collapsed during the Calgary Flames’ practice.
The 29-year-old defenceman was standing by himself during a drill at the blueline when he fell to the ice and started convulsing. There was a moment of confusion when he landed, as the coaches and players — at first — weren’t exactly sure what was happening; the convulsions looked to have paused and Brodie had been lying motionless on the ice before the movements, that looked like uncontrollable muscle contractions, started again.

SECOND UPDATE ON TJ BRODIE

Good to hear.

SECOND UPDATE ON TJ BRODIE

Good to hear.

breathing a sigh of relief. That's good. I hate this type of stuff.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Being sent home is an incredibly good sign.

 

[JPeeper]

First and foremost I hope he gets back to 100% health as fast as possible, but if that one rumour over the summer is even 20% true (that he's going to retire after his current contract), I wonder if this pushes it up more. Dude has already made a ton of money and with his wife's illness and now this, I wonder if he calls it quits and decides to spend time with his wife and family. Sure it sucks for the Flames, but who gives a f***. I'd rather him be healthy and happy with his family than keep playing hockey just for the sake of $.

I wonder how long they keep him out, who's to say this doesn't happen again during a game? Though him being sent home so early is obviously a good sign as well. Going off of nothing I just hope its minor and we'll see what happens tomorrow when they're supposed to update us.
