Sometimes if guys are concussed pretty badly they won't travel with the team as it could aggrevate symptoms.
I wonder what that's all about, maybe the change in altitude causes enough pressure change on the brain to exacerbate symptoms?
Anyways, I'm glad the Moose is home. I know I've been harder on the big guy this season than in the past but that doesn't change how much I love the guy or want to see him succeed. Really hope that this one clears up for him quickly and that he doesn't suffer any lingering symptoms. Gotta be absolutely 100% sure before you let him take any more contact.
I think the Avs may coddle player over their injuries sometimes. Our guys always seem to take longer than expected to return. But this isn't a sprained wrist and as much as we've learned about the human brain, the biggest thing we've learned is how little we actually know about it.
