I have no problems with the way this all shook out as I have a family that have gone through similar circumstances. Family is and should always be first. In Comeau's situation I am sure if there was an issue or health risk to his wife and child then I would assume he would have gotten the same treatment.
Feaster said in that press conference that the complications were related to inducing labor early. After that point, he said both Kipper's wife and son have done fine with no issues. Feaster's words, not mine.

It's pretty funny how quickly people's opinions change from "family comes first" to "pregnancies happen all the time, but Kipper's is different" when you bring up a significantly less beloved player.
