LindG1000 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 This is 10 kinds of fucked up. Robin Lehner alleged that this happens pretty frequently in NHL circles, often without the knowledge (or at least the consent) of the team physician. https://twitter.com/RobinLehner/status/1444478978937417729?s=19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shestYORKin Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 Lehner’s been on a tear for sure but Drew Wheeler insists he’s not the source on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddious Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Quote Sestito said once he was given a bottle of Toradol. In another instance, doctors gave him the drug 20 minutes before a game because his team didn’t have salary cap space to call up an injury replacement. He called the amounts of the drug that team doctors gave him “insane.” Flyers mentioned again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Yeah that just sounds weird. One thing is for a 20 y old to take some painkillers, but someone gives you an "insane amount" of drugs 20 minutes before a game and you take them without thinking? Unless they slipped them in your water bottle Cosby style, then that's on you buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long live the King Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Toradol is an NSAID pain reliever...like Advil. Was he hoping for opiates? Edited October 5, 2021 by Long live the King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say, if we're gonna bring in points from the other thread, that the pressure teams put on these players/control they have over their careers, mean that 'bubble' players (not sure if thats the right phrasing but you know what i mean) that they feel like if they don't do what they're told and take the drugs and play through these type of issues, that they might not ever play in the NHL again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Sure, any player can just say no. I just don't think it's fair to discount the impact/pressure teams are putting on these players and the retaliation that can come to them if they say no. Its like in the real world at whatever company or profession. Your boss is harassing you and making it a hostile workplace. Sure, you can say anyone can just speak up and say no and just quit. But the impact that it can have on your career/the fear of people that are higher up that can control your career if you speak up is a big factor. Just because these are pro athletes who make more money than us average joe-schmos doesn't mean they deserve to be treated poorly like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shestYORKin Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 is Toradol a script tho? I don’t know my pills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long live the King Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Yea, but they're being issued by a doc. Docs can give you pills in the office without a prescription. Not sure what the actual law is, but they're u nder the doc's care. This whole they're giving me pills without a prescription thing seems weird. They're getting pills from the doc, not some random intern from the social media department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
