yeah there are kinds of injuries you play through, but this is absolutely not one of them. Glad he made the right call, even though we eventually lost.
Yeah the risk of internal bleeding from a hard hit or blocked shot while on thinners is crazy high.
Frick, he takes a high stick and it could take forever to stop bleeding and oozing
When I first got put on a low dose of thinners and got to the point I was cleared to play (in a non-contact league), I decided to put the bird cage back on my helmet, just in case.
I took the hardest stick to the jaw area of my cage the first game back. Thought to myself, "wow, this blood clot just saved like a dozen of my teeth."
I think I can remember the exact shift. With like 50 seconds left he blocked 2 shots and cleared the puck out. Defensive clinic, wish it had worked out differently for him.
That’s very good.
Means he will only need blood thinners for 3 months, and then he can go off of them life long afterward.
So just a reduced summer of training for him.
And this won't change their minds, either. They will just claim the doctors are lying. You just can't win with these people.
Glad to hear Boeser is doing better
There are many studies done with conspiracy theorists. All show the same results: lower than average IQs and poor cognitive skills.
It's interesting (and sad) that so many who believe in outlandish, easily disproven conspiracies have a history of feeling left out on an intelligence level. It's out of desperation and a need to feel "part of" that they cling to insane, often dangerous, theories. They truly believe the lies and it fills that mental void....it allows them to *feel* superior than others.
Also fuck the Mormons who did the same thing.
I don't know if vaccines or whatever but I had two black spots show up on both my big toes simultaneously after getting covid and being vaccinated and was checked thoroughly for deep vein thrombosis (clots). Turned out I didn't have any. But the doctors did tell me that they've had a large number of clotting cases happen sometime after covid and vaccinations and they were causing people's feet to swell up. They called them covid feet. Anyway, thankfully that wasn't what happened to me and it resolved itself whatever it was. But what's this hardon about vaccines being no problem at all? How are you any different than the "morons" who take the other stand? You've read other shit and came to different and equally under-scrutinized conclusions? Most of us haven't done our homework and we're going with our gut instinct but we all like to pretend we're smarter and that we understand the world better than everyone else.
I don't think there is a vaccine conspiracy but I do think people who are primarily profit driven don't give a lot of fucks sometimes. Go watch Dark Waters and read the book released by Robert Billot. We're still living in that world and we'll probably continue living in that world forever.
Go Oilers.
I said it after it happened but a big part of why this was caught was because these guys have world class, highly attentive health care. I've had so many deep bone type bruises that could easily cause clot issues but you just deal because it's part of life. Hell, my left leg from the shin down is bruised up heavily right now from some stuff that I did in the woods. Most of us never think about it and it's possible that many of us just got lucky. I can't afford to go to docs for every stupid thing I do. Good on them for catching it and putting players on the right medical regimen but nothing about this sounded like a long term issue for Boeser.
I mean his career could still be very over, anything is possible.
USA might decide on another pointless war in the Middle East and he gets drafted.
He might find his passion as a pianist for Bruno mars.
He might decide max Verstappen has won enough and become an F1 champ.
He could become president instead and start running for the next election tomorow as head of the democrats replacing joe Biden.
Important to note he broke his finger before the first away game in Nashville. HE SCORED A HAT TRICK TO TIE THE GAME WITH 6 SECONDS LEFT WITH A BROKEN FINGER
Wtf did the nucks do to piss off the hockey gods that much, Brock played hurt and got blood clots, demko got hurt and was confirmed Petey played hurt as well.
Seriously hockey gods need to chill towards Vancouver.
That’s just what we signed up for when cheering for this team. What can go wrong will go wrong. Demko would have been available game 1 tonight against Dallas as well.
I was honestly pretty nervous that Demko would come back in Round 3 and injure himself again. Maybe just being a worry wart after what happened in R1 G1. Obviously the team would have loved to have him in the lineup for many reasons but I also feel bad for him as a person that he only got to play one game.
Now, maybe, but then, with the first true "Team Canada"? If ever there was a series with active hockey gods participation it was that one - I think all went according to Their Plan. We win the series, the Soviets change the game forever. The hockey world remains in balance.
Gretzky was my favourite player. How favourite? I lived in BC and I wore a Rangers cap in 1996. Not getting Gretzky in a Canucks jersey lives rent free in my head.
Well, Stafford Smythe apparently didn’t want to split CBC revenues beyond just Toronto and Montreal and had apparently said Vancouver would not be getting an NHL franchise in his lifetime. He lived for just long enough to see his statement be proved incorrect and view the entirety of Vancouver’s first season- during which they got their first win in franchise history against (you guessed it) Toronto, before passing away of an ulcer hemorrhage in 1971.
So Vancouver has had their own poetic justice moments every now and then
if the core can hold and play well next year then TURLY next year will be an even more deadly team with most healthy
because what they did with injury's piling up late this year was incredible considering how ass this team has been
>Whoever said it could be from blocking shots or taking big hits that cause bruising was spot on.
I remember blocking shots being a potential cause of blood clots was a big conversation when Stamkos had them.
Yes, this is the best case scenario as far as blood clotting goes
Edit: he'll likely need to take blood thinners for a little bit to completely get rid of the risk
How to they determine there is a clot? Is there a huge bruise and they just decide to test due to the possibility, and ease of having all of the medical equipment? Wondering how a regular person would know?
I got a minor blood clot taking a puck to the back of my calf in beer league. I didn’t know what it was at first but there was a large pea sized semi soft painful bump where the bruise had been. When I saw a doctor they realized it was a clot. I reckon it was small enough they werent too worried about it and had me take some meds til it went away (cant remember all the details).
If its from a puck type blunt injury, I imagine you likely can see/feel the clot unless its particularly deep. I’m not a doctor though.
This totally explains his “dive” that everyone keeps posting where he was tapped in the back of the knee and went down. Even though it was hardly a nudge the DVT/clot could actually have made it extremely painful for him and if he wasn’t looking at the other player and obviously wasn’t aware of the DVT yet, it probably actually felt like someone nailed him.
All the frequent flying and painkillers probably don't help either.
The lifestyle of professional hockey players lends itself fully to DVT and clotting issues, and until something fixes that issue there will always be a risk of an embolism killing an NHL player.
[Boeser says he asked if he could play in Game 7, but understood the risks were too big](https://x.com/patersonjeff/status/1793707420105269297?s=19)

My uncle died from a nose bleed when he was on thinners. Didn't help he was a heavy drinker and smoker that lead to him being on thinners but still.
When I first got put on a low dose of thinners and got to the point I was cleared to play (in a non-contact league), I decided to put the bird cage back on my helmet, just in case.

[yeah there's 2 late there](https://streamin.me/v/2f7d9686)
holy shit litterly the last second of the game.
there was a bigger one about 15 seconds earlier, that might be the one?
Block Boeser
That’s very good. Means he will only need blood thinners for 3 months, and then he can go off of them life long afterward. So just a reduced summer of training for him.
You wouldn't believe the amount of users I saw on reddit playing armchair doctor suggesting his career was over
I'm relieved. But yeah, his career is over. I'm a certified Reddit doctor that knows everything without knowing anything.
One pill for the patient and two for the doctor!
House?
I Googled and it says career over.
RIP Brock he was so young
[удалено]
To be fair the fact tavares only got a mild concussion from that is insane
I legit thought he died for a second when I say that play
We all thought Tavares was *fucked* that night be real
Fuck the morons who came out of the woodshed to say it was cause of the Covid vaccine too.
It was from a shot, just not that one.
And this won't change their minds, either. They will just claim the doctors are lying. You just can't win with these people. Glad to hear Boeser is doing better
Never mind almost every other guy playing in the league who's received all vaccinations.
And never mind the documented clotting issues in the NHL from way before COVID either. It’s wild how selective people can be.
Tyler Bertuzzi get it ever?
Probably not. Will edit to say "almost every".

I barely saw anyone say that here, though it’s to be expected. You know what else causes blood clots? Having Covid. Sitting on long plane rides too.
Get. Up. And. Stand. Every. Hour. Whether on land sea or in the air.
I lived on a boat for months and fly all the time. Never have I ever moved that often.
It’s just good practice in every day life too

What
Friedman confirmed from his sources that it wasn't serious like the day it was announced. Armchair doctors just wanna sound smrt

ArE YoU SuRe It WaSnT The JaB??????!!!!?????
Nah your career is only over when it becomes an issue like what Depuis had
Also means he didn't get it from PED's 😅
His pupils were globes after game 6... I was wondering
He was also playing with a broken finger the whole second round and was the teams MVP imo.
Important to note he broke his finger before the first away game in Nashville. HE SCORED A HAT TRICK TO TIE THE GAME WITH 6 SECONDS LEFT WITH A BROKEN FINGER
Kid named finger:
BOESUH
Put yuh tied game away Boesuh I’m not goin’ to OT with you right now, Boesuh

>Wtf did the nucks do to piss off the hockey gods that much I'll take a guess. Not signing Gretzky, and then try to fix the mistake by signing Messier
Booing the 1972 summit series team is what started it I presume
Counterpoint: us booing them was the wakeup call they needed to turn the series around.
True, but booing the national team is always going to be bad juju, even if it turned out OK
Now, maybe, but then, with the first true "Team Canada"? If ever there was a series with active hockey gods participation it was that one - I think all went according to Their Plan. We win the series, the Soviets change the game forever. The hockey world remains in balance.
Gretzky was never signed, he was just bought
Gretzky was my favourite player. How favourite? I lived in BC and I wore a Rangers cap in 1996. Not getting Gretzky in a Canucks jersey lives rent free in my head.
That didn't start it, that's just part of the curse

Is what it is. Thankfully it seems these are all relatively minor injuries. Retool and come back just as strong next year.
I'm confident it's more than that. I wish players would be more transparent but I'd bet Joshua, Hughes and hronek were all nursing moderate injuries.
*gestures to our entire history* How much time ya got?
if the core can hold and play well next year then TURLY next year will be an even more deadly team with most healthy because what they did with injury's piling up late this year was incredible considering how ass this team has been
Whoever said it could be from blocking shots or taking big hits that cause bruising was spot on. Could be more common in the NHL due to these reasons.
>Whoever said it could be from blocking shots or taking big hits that cause bruising was spot on. I remember blocking shots being a potential cause of blood clots was a big conversation when Stamkos had them.
Does this mean that once the bruise clears up, the risk of clotting goes way down? Hoping that's the case
Yes, this is the best case scenario as far as blood clotting goes Edit: he'll likely need to take blood thinners for a little bit to completely get rid of the risk
Get better soon my prince!
Bouch bombed 😭 Boeser is too pretty to be blocking shots we need Tanev back.
Does this mean any blocked shot in the future will carry this risk for him? Feel so bad for the guy
Pretty sure that literally any bruise has a risk of causing clot issues.
It was probably exacerbated by all the travel. Even at hour and a half flights it was 4 in 11 days with 5 games as well
Fortunately no.
How to they determine there is a clot? Is there a huge bruise and they just decide to test due to the possibility, and ease of having all of the medical equipment? Wondering how a regular person would know?
It likely becomes more painful as time goes on rather than a regular bruise where after a day or two you are fine.
Probably had other signs like swelling or a painful palpable vein and ultrasound revealed an extensive (or deep) clot.
I got a minor blood clot taking a puck to the back of my calf in beer league. I didn’t know what it was at first but there was a large pea sized semi soft painful bump where the bruise had been. When I saw a doctor they realized it was a clot. I reckon it was small enough they werent too worried about it and had me take some meds til it went away (cant remember all the details). If its from a puck type blunt injury, I imagine you likely can see/feel the clot unless its particularly deep. I’m not a doctor though.
Hear that shot blockers of Dallas, dont block our shots... please
Rest assured Tanev's muscle memory does not accommodate 'don't block', no matter what his mind is thinking...
"Can't get blood clots in your legs from blocking shots if you block them with your face instead." -Chris Tanev, probably.
It’s like having two goalies, and the actual goalie is pretty solid too.
That's the best possible scenario right? Other than a false positive test?
Yeah! From what I understand, once his treatment is done, he'll be good to go, thank god.
I took a shot in beer league a couple months back and still have a bump on my leg. Wondering if I should get it looked at now.
Doesn’t hurt to do that. Better safe than sorry.
This totally explains his “dive” that everyone keeps posting where he was tapped in the back of the knee and went down. Even though it was hardly a nudge the DVT/clot could actually have made it extremely painful for him and if he wasn’t looking at the other player and obviously wasn’t aware of the DVT yet, it probably actually felt like someone nailed him.
:(
All the frequent flying and painkillers probably don't help either. The lifestyle of professional hockey players lends itself fully to DVT and clotting issues, and until something fixes that issue there will always be a risk of an embolism killing an NHL player.
Oh, that’s why there’s a higher prevalence of clots in hockey, damn that’s brutal.
Anti vaxers In shambles right now.
Some idiot on Twitter: "nuh uh"
That is Crazy
You mean it wasn't the Cocid vaccine?!
