Just want all of these guys to be able to retire healthy.
Best wishes to Stoll.
I agree, but sadly I think many of the recent retirees and current players are going to be plagued by long term issues of concussions. The knuckle dragging culture that permeates the hockey world told players to play through concussions, encouraged borderline hits and staged bare knuckle fighting in the name of "establishing toughness" has literally ruined lives like Adam Deadmarsh's and contributed to the deaths of others like Derek Boogard. The NHL and NFL have finally started to do something about it, but sadly to late for some. And the problem won't go away completely until you see the generation of guys like Burke and Doug Wilson are gone. Torres should be 86ed from hockey but their idiot GM not only calls a concussion causing hit "clean" but then signs the clown to a multi year extension. I would say I hope Torres is eventually thrown out of the league, but that would mean another potential career threatening hit to someone.
Sorry to get off topic, just feel bad that some of these players face long term health issues because the league and certain clubs embrace and employ guys like Torres. Hopefully Stoll makes a full recovery and can return to the ice, but this is a scary situation.
