can you put the injury talk tag in front of the title or too late?

Done & hijacked

Done & hijacked

Or... liberated... maybe the initial act of creating a new thread by somebody who was clearly unprepared and incompetent was the true act of hijacking.

 

[Jigger77]

Thanks for this thread. Dropped by here a couple days ago looking for updates but wasn't able to find any.

Edit: see the old thread now. Really didn't look hard enough I guess lol.

 

[Jay Wolf]

Has there been any updates on Diaz or Bourque? Seems to me no one has mentioned either of them in a while.

It's really concerning.

To my knowledge, they have to wait a set amount of days before making any further diagnoses.

 

[Monctonscout]

Sucks...both guys were having "break out" years in their own way. Diaz was establishing himself as a top 4 calibre d-man and Bourque was re-establishing himself as a PF and net presence. I really liked him on Plekanec's wing.

These concussions injury are the worst. You never really know when the guy is gonna be back, and IF and WHEN it can strike back.

PM Bouchard in Minny lost two seasons, and Savard in Boston has to retitre. That,s a shame seing two good players like that being sidelined. Crosby was on the edge of quitting too.

 

[Habiton]

People here should watch Head Games on Netflix before making opinions on concussions.

That movie changed my life. Thank you.

 

[Banjo Cat]

Man, I really hope Diaz and Bourque get well soon. Sucks to lose two players who have been awesome for us to concussion.

Rene Bourque et Raphael Diaz ont pris du mieux au cours des trois derniers jours. Diaz espère patiner la semaine prochaine.


Basically says that Bourque and Diaz are feeling better in the last few days, and that Diaz hopes to be skating next week.

Well that's some good news. No need rushing either back

Rene Bourque and Raphael Diaz have improved over the last three-four days. Not totally symptom-free though. Diaz hopes to skate next week.

The bolded part is what really matters...until they are 100% symptom free, they could be weeks away.

 

[Dr Gonzo]

Yeah, he slipped that in there with the English version. That's kind of a big deal with concussions.

 

[HarlemsFinest]

no more 2 year old injury thread? how am i supposed to know when gomez, spacek and hamrlik and cammy are returning to the roster

 

[Maffew]

So Weber got hurt tonight.



...anyone...?



*crickets*

 

[Habssince89]

Want both of these guys back in the lineup but If I had to choose one its Bourque. Plek needs him and Ryder would benefit from Bourque's speed and strength sucking in defenders on the rush and in the corners for the dirty work. That being said, Diaz would be a huge boost to the back end.

He got hurt. But nobody knows what happened just yet... It's too soon. Probably know more in a few days.

I think both Diaz offensive out put and solid defensive play would be more welcomed, we haven't had problem scoring since Bourque has been hurt. It's getting puck out of our net and out of our zone that have been the problem, Diaz was great at both.

Eric Stall bruised his ego in the 2nd and the coaches speech shattered what was remaining of his confidence during the intermission

What's really tough about concussions is that there's no timetable. When someone breaks their arm we know it's 4-6 weeks, and we have updates on their condition. When it's a concussion the only updates we have are "he's not symptom free" or "he's feeling better". It's frustrating for us so imagine how frustrating it is for them. Physically they're fine (well mostly) but their head prevent them from playing.

As someone who has suffered multiple concussions, it is definitely frustrating. You can wake up in the morning and feel great, head out to the gym to work out and suddenly you start to feel dizzy and get the feeling that you need to throw up. It sucks.
