Not looking good for Micheal Ferland "again"

[oldschoolcalgary]

i was pretty shocked to see Ferly throw down the gloves tbh...

he's still one of my favorite players from his flames days... i hope that he doesn't take more risks than he needs to, just to 'prove to himself' that he can still play like he did in the past.

Rooting for him to do well and hope that he is back to his old self.

That's the player Ferland is. To be successful he needs to be physically engaged or else he disappears and floats. He cant be constantly being afraid for your own health second guessing what you should be doing

[CsInMyBlood]

Love Ferland. Great to see him back playing. Sucks that he is a Canuck because he is one of those special players with another gear in the post season. He was one of the biggest reasons we actually won a playoff round.

[powderjunkie]

Glad to see Ferland is doing well. For his sake, I wish he availed himself of the extra months without risk instead of putting his future on the line just to see Vancouver get swept out of the qualifiers.

Left the game tonight early. Didn't hear why, but hope it isn't head related.

Speculation was from a blocked shot...so let’s hope it’s that.

I will always hope Ferland has a tonne of success, and I hope he has an absolute monster of a playoff series. I am, however, disappointed that Vancouver won't get swept. Go Wild Go.

I feel sorry for the guy, you got to believe that the Canuck’s management is responsible for this medical malpractice. He will suffer permanent damage and it reminds of the Rick Rypien scenario, some teams just don’t get it. Just a horrible franchise all around.

That isn't accurate at all. The Canucks franchise stood by Rypien, giving him leave of absences when his depression was making the pressures of being a professional athlete being impossible for him to deal with. To lay the blame for his suicide at the feet of the Canuck isn't correct or fair.

Edit: The more I think about it, the more I think that a statement like that doesn't do any fairness towards the challenges that Rypien faced as well as they were obviously incredibly complex.

As for Ferland, I hope for his sake that he didn't play because of some non-concussion related symptoms. However if he passed all his baseline testing, was medically fit, and willing to play, I don't see how the Canucks could not play him. I don't know if that would even be allowed under the current collective bargaining agreement.

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
Hearing Micheal Ferland (VAN) will be leaving the bubble due to injury. The forward played just four shifts and 2:36 in Game 2 vs. MIN. No clarification on specifics.

[Joborule]

Jesus. He's the most fragile player these days.

[Robbob]

Unlucky if it is from a shot block. Guessing a break if he has to leave.

[mrdonkey]

Ferland as a Canuck seems to be working out about as well as Jagr did as a Flame. Poor guy just can't seem to stay in the lineup for any length of time.

[sureLoss]

Vancouver #Canucks @Canucks
#Canucks confirm that Micheal Ferland is 'unfit-to-play' for the remainder of the play-in series vs Minnesota. He has returned home and will be re-evaluated following the series.

[Enoch Root]

Seems weird to send him home and then re-evaluate after the series, because if Van moves on, and he is fit to return, would he not have to quarantine for 14 days before re-joining the team?

There is also a 4 negative test rule I believe, I am not 100% sure how it works but I do not think it's an entire 14 days.

Ugh, poor guy. At least he signed a big ticket with Vancouver that he could go on LTIR and effectively retire off of.

[Coach]

Dudes gotta step away for good. It’s too bad. Had a chance to be a really good player, and he has been in stints, but he’s made some good money. Maybe coaching or a job like McGrattan is in his future.

Be well Ferly.

[oldschoolcalgary]

That's brutal to hear... it would be a real shame if it happened as a result of that fight, which iirc seemed pretty out of the blue and thus unnecessary.

its a shame... i think Ferland should consider retiring at this point.
