Really powerful article. Just goes to show how dangerous of a game hockey is (and sport in general). Hope he can make a full recovery. I had a pretty severe concussion and post-concussion syndrome over 3 years ago and it shut me down for almost 3 months. I don't want to imagine how it could have gone on longer.

It really gives insight on the whole depression side of things with the game and it's relation to concussions. Brain trauma is a scary thing. I had a concussion when I was 17 and post concussion for almost 3 years after. Still to this day, I don't have the memory capacity I used to. Really feel for the guy because the emotional swings are the worst.

The Salvador article is worth a read as well.

Full transperancy, I haven't read the article yet, and in no way am I trying to make fun of what is no doubt a very serious article about a serious issue.

But did anyone else immediately think Dave Chappell and Charlie Murphy when they read that title?

One of the better articles I have read on the Player's Tribune, actually. Well worth the read.
