That sucks. Bad.

I don't remember too much of his play, but IIRC he was a steady, unspectacular depth guy to have on the roster. And that he had the distinction of getting Chiarelli fired in both Boston and Edmonton (acquiring him was the last move he made in both cities prior to being fired)

Holy crap.

 

[BMC]

Do they know what caused the brain bleed???

 

[GarbageGoal]

Very sad. Was always a favorite of mine in Providence.

 

[Bruinaura]

Do they know what caused the brain bleed???

I wonder if he has a concussion history?

 

[Pay Carl]

wow that’s so sad

best wishes

 

[Gordoff]

This is terrible news. I liked him as a Bruin but right now it's all about his and his family's lives. I truly feel bad for him and will pray for him.

 

[neelynugs]

get better soon, colby

All I've seen is that it is not related to Covid-19.

I hope he pulls through.

My wife and I rode up in the hotel elevator with him and a bunch of others in South Bend before the Winter Classic. My wife was in one corner with me on the opposite side. Colby came in last so it was a full elevator. I knew who he was, but my wife kept clearing her throat trying to get my attention with the "do you see who that is look". I ignored it and laughed to myself. We were first off and our friends who were also on the elevator said he chuckled after we got off. Get well Colby!

 

[StrBender]

WOW, this is terrible. It's time for another BOSTON STRONG prayer! Let's do one for Colby.

I loved the Caveman and I maintain that if he had gotten a few breaks when he was playing so well at the start of last year he would be a very good everyday player. I still think the world of him and love the way he plays. This is awful.

So is this basically an aneurysm? This is awful. I wish him the absolute best. Reminds me of Craig Cunningham in a way... Two guys that played very critical roles in Providence and probably would’ve gotten a much better opportunity In other organizations with worse rosters. Hopefully he can come out of this and lead an excellent life, even if hockey is not in the cards

Get well Colby! Soon.

 

[Ladyfan]

OMG. Get well Young man.

 

[PB37]

Get better soon, Colby. We are all rooting for you!

An aneurysm kills when it bursts/breaks so it has to be something else.
