EightyOne

My posts are jokes. And hockey is just a game.

I hope he can somehow heal. Head injuries seem awful.

Not to piggyback on bad news this way (Really sucks for Zach), but do the Pens get a compensation pick out of this?

Since he was a 2nd rounder.

Bummed about this. I really hoped he was going to get to play some kind of pro hockey at some point. He's young, so hopefully he has another passion he can pursue.

I really am happy for him that he realized he needed to retire. There are far too many "proud" (read: Idiots) in the league that think they need to keep playing. Each concussion is different in severity, sure, but in the end, each and every single one is brain damage.

Your brain doesn't magically heal itself to 100% after each concussion, after each one, you're losing brain tissue via damage (someone can correct me if I am wrong).

I respect the players in the NFL that realize that you know what, quality of life is 10000x more important than f***ing up your body and mind now and paying for it severely (sometimes with your life) later on in life.

I hope Lauzon finds a new passion.
