SteenIsThaFuture Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 http://www.tsn.ca/other_sports/story/?id=2...=headlines_main Very sad story, It just might be another incident the NHL has to review, and just another reason they may cut down on fighting and possibly now physical play I think fighting should be gone, but I highly doubt 2 isolated incidents should have such a significant impact.

hockey_gal89 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 http://www.tsn.ca/other_sports/story/?id=2...=headlines_main Very sad story, It just might be another incident the NHL has to review, and just another reason they may cut down on fighting and possibly now physical play I don't see how a freak collision would curb physical play, especially when you consider that no one knows this kids medical history. It is certainly without a doubt tragic...But the article is very vague and we shouldn't jump to conclusions based on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefooligan5 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 http://www.tsn.ca/other_sports/story/?id=2...=headlines_main Very sad story, It just might be another incident the NHL has to review, and just another reason they may cut down on fighting and possibly now physical play Considering the article doesn't really elaborate because there is still an investigation into the boys death but from the sounds of it this may end up being a similar situation to Jiri Fischer in that the problem may have been related to a health condition and was aggravated by the broken leg. I doubt we'll see the NHL look into this incident because we've seen coutless broken bones occur in the NHL and no action is taken to prevent it.

Johnny_rudeboy Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I do not know if many people realize but in medical terms if it was a major leg fracture then the trauma to the body can be life threatening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a doctor in real life aren't you 1970? I knew it! Thanks for that though...I didn't even realize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
