Prospect Info: Noah Juulsen Part III

[26Mats]

Yeah for sure. He certainly looks like he can handle it though. Thought Juulsen was going to take that 3rd RD spot but with his post concussion syndrome, I don't think we see him this year

Has it officially been diagnosed as post-concussion syndrome?

Nope I'm just speculating sorry. Should have mentioned it. Idk what else it would be though.

Probably is. But i know people can also get headaches from eye problems that have nothing to do with concussions.

Ex: not processing light properly, or eye glands not producing enough water/tears, etc... there are usually treatments for eye problems though.

I doubt it is post-concussion syndrome, however I'm 100% convinced it is related to his facial injury. It feels like something did not heal right in his facial bones and nerves (visions problems, headaches, etc). But hey, don't call me Dr PJ ;p

 

[Nordiques1979]

Sucks for the kids, he would be an NHL regular without his injuries. I was so hyped about him, now I just hope he can live a normal life.

 

[Treb]

No the team is clearly trying to cover their ass, and thats fine I guess

Any symptoms being "gone" is purely from the (i dont want to lose my spot in the NHL) mouth of juulsen

Good chance his symptoms have persisted all this time, only really getting back onto the ice and going full speed, and the eyes constantly glaring at white ice and white lights seems to have re-ignited his PCS.

So ... its that , or a brain tumor.

Or something related to his face injury.

Lol right, im sure the orbital bone that healed in 8 weeks is the cause of the headaches over the brain injury he suffered, aka : Concussion.

Yes and the organization has repeatedly said it's no a concussion so this was a strange thing for him to speculate.

 

[montreal]

no need to try and speculate his medial issues, we don't need another Dr. Recchi. Whatever it is hopefully it's something that is just a short term issue and not a long term or career threatening one.

"L'entraîneur Claude Julien avait insisté samedi pour dire que Juulsen n'avait pas subi une commotion cérébrale. "

There you have. Clod himself said it's not a concussion so how can you possibly not believe it.

(Didn't just say it... he INSISTED)

 

[The Real Timo]

So he is looking for the second opinion... what was the first opinion? Was it that he doesn't have concussion and can play or that he has something else and can't play? Sorry, I can't find where that information is because you know... transparency.

Man, that Juulsen situation is troubling. There is also a long term personal health issue to contend with outside of any impact on his playing career — I would never compromise that if that was the ultimate choice. Hope it doesn’t come to that and that he pulls through.

And no, not speculating either way. Just hoping for the best.

It is too bad. I really liked his play and thought he could develop into a very solid dman. His long terms healthy should be the only consideration though...

Read the rest of the posts before chiming in uselessly , post concussion syndrome is a real thing.

Odds are that's it. Sounds a lot like what Crosby went through a few years back.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Posting this here because like Juulsen, Patrick has had concussions before and has had headaches like Juulsen has. So maybe Juulsen has the same thing?

 

[Habs Halifax]

So he is looking for the second opinion... what was the first opinion? Was it that he doesn't have concussion and can play or that he has something else and can't play? Sorry, I can't find where that information is because you know... transparency.

As far as I know, all we know is he is seeking a 2nd opinion. It appears that he may not like the opinion he is getting from the Habs doctors? I don't know for sure but it I couldn't help but notice the comment that the Habs management said... "We respect he wants to have a 2nd opinion but we know it's not a concussion".

Shitty situation for Juulsen cause he was playing well to start the year last year before those two pucks to his face. Talk about a derail in his career

Juulsen went to see an outside specialist and the Habs didn't announce what he found?

He found the directions to Place Bell.

It doesn't mean he is totally healthy again.

I really hope he can get get healthy. Would hate to see his career ebd so young from sacrificing his body to block a shot.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

Hope he recovers, but as far as missing him as a player, I think he was and will always be a complete non factor. I have a feeling this might just be a separate issue from his facial injury altogether, but I have no idea and wish him the best.

It has to be his "head". No doubt. Vision problems ? Headaches ? Labirynthitis ?

The orbital bone break can destroy your facial nerves and cause massive issues with brain swelling etc. Its often the same symptoms as a concussion, but it can be very life altering and career ending. Some people lose all sensation in their mouth for example, and their vision deteriorates peripherally. I suspect with the amount of time he has missed already, it is a worst case scenario for him.
