Not looking good for Micheal Ferland "again"
Suffered his 5 concussion in 3 years tonight on a rehab assignment in Utica.
Doctors should just recommend retirement before he has no quality of life left.
Update: back in the game and looking good...fingers crossed
2nd update, not looking good again with looks like his 6th concussion.
Just retire man and enjoy your family.

Man that’s tough to hear. Even though he’s a dirty Canuck I still love the guy. Kind of thinking he should just retire too. He’s got a very young child at home.

Love Ferly. Such a shame this is happening to him. I agree, he should hang up the skates, get into coaching or something perhaps if he still wants to be involved in the game. He's got a young family and his whole life ahead of him, not to mention he has had a respectable pro career to look back on.

Totally saw this coming. Not everyone gets to make a couple million playing a childrens game. Retire and enjoy the rest of life with a higher level of quality.

As much as I hate the Canucks, I hate this more.
Good luck Ferly, you'll live forever in our hearts as we fondly remember the 14-15 playoff series in which you played a huge role in knocking out the Canucks.

When I think of the Flames in the 2010s, I will think of Ferkland and the force he was in our lone playoff series win.

For the record, he did not suffer a new concussion tonight. He is still experiencing symptoms from a concussion he got near the beginning of the season.

He also has a 2nd baby girl that was just born last month.
I hope Ferly can continue his career safely.

I saw this story tonight and all I can think is.........just retire.
It sucks to stop playing at a young age, but with a family like he has, other things are more important in life. Sucks to say, but I hope to read that he's hung them up for good soon.

Which is actually worse as far as his long-term prognosis goes.

Unofficially, yep he should. Ride it out on LTIR, and collect that remaining $9.5m

I feel so bad for the guy. Concussions are the absolute worse. He should retire before his issues get even worse.

Concussions are no joke and can take a long time to recover from. At minimum he should shut down this season and reassess for next season.

Hate the Canucks. But glad they gave him that contract. If his career is over, he’s set for life thanks to them.

After taxes and fees, the number gets a lot smaller. And that has to last you until retirement, if you don't have other marketable skills.
Still, it's a good quality of life for most people. He should take it and run.

Norm!

Really feel for Ferland, he's a heart and soul player who's had a really tough and inspiring journey to the NHL, he deserves better but sometimes our bodies don't cooperate.
I'm hoping that he's having serious discussions with the Canucks and his supporters about stopping. I also hope he's got a good support group around him.
