SP: Your agent mentioned you were open with NHL teams about your concussion history. Was that important to you to share that information?
Boqvist: I don’t know. I try not to think about the concussion, just play the game. Of course when you have the concussion, you think about it. I don’t know.

A swing and a giant miss for Pavel Buchnevich
You can't try to force this to be true without proof.
If you have it, go ahead and post it. If you can't, don't embarrass yourself.
This has been stated a lot, yet no one wants to back it up. The Whiskey Chief claimed three concussions, he accounted for one. Canafan was trying to reason why Boqvist had to have had two concussions, as if he was his doctor. If you want to go down this road, you can, but prove it. Otherwise, you are another rumor monger.
I have a problem because you claimed something you couldn't prove?
What's funny is how seriously you are taking this. Its a hockey forum. If you say something that is questionable and you haven't showed proof of, expect to be called on it. Trying to claim that someone who called you on it "has a problem" is pretty funny.
You claimed he had three concussions. Now you are saying its only one?
That’s some mighty fine sophistry you got there.
You wanted it, here’s both barrels:

"It's been okay. I did well on "Hlinka" (Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup U18 national team). When I got home from there I was allowed to join the A team. After that, I received a concussion that I recently came back from.
Do you have any chores of the brainwash?
- No, I do not know anything.
Note that this was in November of ‘17. He missed more games in early 2018 due to his second.
This is exactly what I mean. Speculation. I've seen this stuff a million times. Its a waste of everyone's time. I'm not going to say the same thing anymore.
Either there is proof of two or there's not. Don't try to play doctor and connect the dots. Show proof there were two or more than two, as you said.
In fact, if one was to parse something out of his words, he mentions "the concussion" twice in the first interview you posted. "The" wouldn't normally mean more than one, if referring to something like an injury.
No one has to “prove” anything. This isn’t a court of law, this is a discussion board. The evidence doesn’t need to be 100% iron clad, which seems to be your expectation, but only reasonably probable. We have statements from Mark Edwards confirming it is a concern amongst NHL scouts (evidence), we have Boqvist himself describing that he has had *at least* one concussion (he never clearly stated whether he has had 1,2, or 3). That is ample evidence for any reasonable, unbiased person on the matter.
You clearly are not one of those two things.
Obviously proof exists somewhere in the world (most likely a filing cabinet in Sweden). It’s funny that you think it’s just sitting there on the internet waiting for someone to grab it. Medical records are usually confidential yet that seems to be the only thing you’ll accept as “proof”.
Nice little bunker you’ve devised to keep your fragile Boqvist opinions safe from harm.
Proof? You're reading Boqvist's own words saying he had a concussion. I'm not sure how much more proof you can require? Holy ****, you've lost it
Listen to how deranged you sound. You are claiming that an 17 year old kid has had multiple brain injuries. When asked for proof, you say that you don't need to prove it.
I don't know the truth. Didn't claim I knew one way or the other. I don't think its much to ask for proof of the validity of a rumor. And if it can't be produced, I think its logical to say that it should stop being talked about until it can be proven.
Of course its obvious why you are pressing this issue so hard. You are trying to put down a player you view as similar towards Hughes. But of course that couldn't be because you tell us you are too good for that, and its only a faction of "bad Canuck fans" that you certainly aren't part of.

I’m not saying any such thing.
I’m saying others in positions to know have concerns over his concussion history. I do think it’s reasonable to take this as evidence that Boqvist’s concussions should be viewed as a risk factor when assessing him. I’ve never said he’s had 1, 3, 5, or 100 concussions.
Don’t invent fake narratives when your original argument goes to ****.
What is “proof” in your eyes? How accessible is this “proof”? Why is the words of NHL scouts and an admission of at least one concussion by Boqvist not tantamount to proof in your mind?
Please answer these.
What “proof” do you have that those are my intentions? And be sure to be as rigorous with my “Canuck bias” as you are with Boqvist’s concussion history. You’ve set the bar high champ, now live up to it.
