Rick Ball: Get Well Soon
I think this deserves its own thread.
Rick Ball apparently had a pulminary embolism. Ron MacLean reprted that Rick is doing well.
As I like to believe some media folks frequent the site, i wanted to pass along my thoughts and wishes for Rick to get well soon. One of the best at his craft in the entire league.
Here is hoping for a speedy recovery.

####. That's not nothing. Get better Rick! Take those blood thinners!
I hope it isn't too serious and he can come back this year.

Get well Rick.
One of the best. Will miss his voice describing the Flames while he heals. Way too much of this happening. Hoping for a speedy recovery for him.

Rick, take care and can’t wait to hear you again soon.
As an aside, did Rick not break his leg this summer golfing? It was a freak thing as I recall

He did. He chased a bird that was stealing a sandwich off of his cart and stepped in some kind of hole and broke his leg. It was a really funny story and he was laughing about it, but talk about poor luck.

Damn, this is terrible news. I hope he has a full and quick recovery. I love when he is on Flames broadcasts and he just generally seems like a good guy.
