I wouldn’t blame him though, if doctors ok him, to continue pursuing his dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Kind of expected this, but still sad and I feel for this dude. If this most recent injury was related to the concussions, then maybe there's some hope that perhaps he can return. I would definitely take it easy with him. He's had so many concussions, though, that retirement might be best for him. Better that with some money coming your way than becoming a vegetable.

I just don’t see anyway he is ever on the ice again. Before this setback, even as he was working his way back, we all shared the same skepticism about his return. And we all agreed it would be like holding your breath anytime he took a shift or took a hit. Now after what happened? I mean, I just don’t see how this results in him ever playing again unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn shame, too. What awful look with our first round picks of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would very much leave it open-ended, he's done for the season end of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no announcement at all for Sauer. That's my point. He got his concussion, and then the next articles are from March saying that he still had symptoms. There's no information or release saying that he was going to miss the season. It was complete radio silence. Different time without Twitter and whatnot, but I don't think they would even mention next season if it was in doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Crosby has had a number of concussions throughout his career. Maybe this extended period of time to recover will do Chytil well, rather than put a timeframe on when he would be back.

It also doesn't help that Chytil is just made of construction paper, either. lol But, I hope you are right about that and he will be fine. I just don't feel great about it right at the moment.

If he's back on the ice, he better be good and ready, and certain that he understands just how serious another head injury could be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative is that they were being ultra cautious to skirt the cap, and it's not quite as serious as has been covered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
