Not looking good for Micheal Ferland "again"

Here's a basic explainer for those that think the ear-issue was entirely separate from the concussion issue, or those that are confusing the ear-issue with potentially further brain damage: https://rethinkconcussions.upmc.com/...r-infographic/

That is interesting and quite helpful. I would still be somewhat concerned of a proper diagnosis, however. I mean, it is pretty clear he had a concussion at one point, and is now suffering from concussion-like symptoms. If there is absolutely no question as to his brain health, I suppose great, go for it. However, there must be some risk that he is doing further damage to his brain, and if that is the case, I would hope he would err on the side of caution.

Having gone through a major vestibular and neurological issue over the greater part of a year I can share some perspective. If they are considering the issues separate ie; vestibular or even neurological vs concussion, it’s possible he could physically be cleared to play but may need to retrain balance and/or neurological pathways in his brain. The road to recovery here is actually more activity and to continue to push and fight through dizziness and other vestibular type symptoms. It sucks, and can cause physical reactions, but the only way forward is to continue to challenge yourself. Brain science has come a long way, but I have it first hand from several neurologists and MD’s that a lot is still unknown.

Anyways, in no way am I suggesting that’s the case here. Who really knows? Just adding some perspective. It’s complicated and hard to understand if you haven’t experienced it. I suspect and trust he and the doctors know what’s best for him. Be careful on knowing or judging what is the right path of recovery for him.

No, I don't. Feel free to disregard what I post, but I've never posted anything that isn't something that can be easily found out, and if it is something that is from a source that can't be found by simply using google, I say as such.

unlike you, most of us don't care to follow the Canucks.

And is it really that hard to be considerate and say ____ says Ferland plans to return over, word is?

Or better yet, do it because it's in the site rules

Rumours:

At Calgarypuck we don't want to get into the business of questioning anyone's character or integrity. However, unfounded, brief, information-less posts that come across as a guess or a post made to incite a riot works against Calgarypuck's image and reputation so we have to tread carefully.

If you get information .. state what it is. Heard it on the radio? Not good enough. What station, and what time, and by who? Saw it on TV? Same thing ... what channel? What pundit? in what context? Buddy that works at the Flames? Fair game but state that in your post.

This seems like a hill worth dying on.

Who is dying on the hill? the entire exchange was 3 posts total

And when I have a rumour that can be detrimental to the site in any way but can't cite the source (for one reason or another), even if I know it to be a fact, I don't post it or take it to the mods to ask for the thumbs up or thumbs down. But when it comes to #### that can be corroborated by a twitter or google search, I'm not going to bother. In this case, Dhaliwal from team 1040 and Thomas Drance from the Athletic.

Also, you all follow the Canucks religiously and you all know it. Same with the Oilers. Everyone knows Flames fans get more enjoyment out of schadenfreude induced by rivals than the actual success of the Flames!

Also, this is 4.

WE WANT 5! WE WANT 5!

Looks to me like you went ahead, dug a trench, and set up a machine gun nest on the hill by trying to quote site regulations. C'mon it's barely an off hand rumor about the future playing career of a player, it will be alright if that post exists and doesn't require to be vetted with a fine tooth comb by you.

He's been doing it all the time in the trade thread too

And everything I said was then corroborated by things posted by other people. Pretty sure we're fine.


Let's go for 8! We want 8!

Joke's on you. It's well documented that the Flames were my team growing up and my second team up until you pack of jackals beat it out of me!

You did this! You!

Do these posts count? Are we going for 10 or am I still looking for 8?

I kinda like having some posters on here who are fans of other teams.
Sort of “A view from the other side”.

As long as they don’t come here just to troll I think it’s great.

Oilers and Canucks fans always think this is because we're obsessed, but the joke's on them, it's because we have no success!
