Kootenay Gold Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Strange not to hear any news on how Brisebois is doing. The silence is deafening. Has me thinking it is not going well for him and he may be done for this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My feeling is that even if he gets better, its through waivers and to Abbotsford anyway, so it's not hugely significant for the big club.

Jack Gordon Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Brisebois has a concussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sativika Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Sucks Breez is out for that reason. That's why Poolman is out too, right? Concussions suck. I mean, I've never had one. But from what I've seen regarding this particular phenomena in contact sports, it can be career ending, and a life changer. I sure hope he, and Poolman are gonna be alright. I will admit.............. ......I'm greedy! I want these guys healthy enough to play cuz' we'll need 'em for our playoff push. Getting back to reality though................... I understand that Poolman's issues are pretty serious. Which is the reason for his absence the past couple of seasons. Are his issues compounded with Covid as well??!?!? Anywho.........get well dudes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know much about breisbois earlier concussion history. My experience with a long recovery concussion atleast my 3rd but probably was more likely 5th or more. Many years later there's some things like roller coasters or trampolines will create symptoms. Wishing Breisbois the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly this happened either in the last exhibition game or in a scrimage at the very end of the preseason. Yeah, it's very worrisome.

I seem to recall that now. Thanks. Are his headache issues related to post covid or a previous on ice injury. How long is he signed for with us. Perhaps seemingly stupid questions in keeping with his situation. That being said......... I realize that we're saving cap by having him on LTIR. Is the consensus on Pooly grim? I mean like, is he done playing hockey for us or any team. Cuz if he gets healthy anytime soon, he would be the RD that we could use. But I digress. I get that he needs to heal. not just for hockey, but more so for his life in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys who are out as long as Poolman have been almost never return to NHL hockey. My guess is there's a 95% chance he never plays an NHL game again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially I had thought that this was a good signing for us. I believe that Poolman has one more year after this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the answers to those questions. I don't think so. He's on LTIR for 1 season after this when he'll be a UFA I have a neighbour who suffers from migraine headaches as well. She never knows when she'll get one and when she does, the only thing that helps is to lay down in a dark room. She cannot hold a job and probably never will. She is on a disability pension so it's a recognized condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat land fish Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Looks like he is on waivers, is that so he can rebuild in abbotsford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's likely there to get back in shape, but I also don't think he'll see NHL time again probably, except as an occasional call-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kettlevalley Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 NhL talent. Without the swagger confidence and drive. Could be a Chris Tanev type but....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Poor guy. Out for 3/4 of the season with concussion symptoms. I am happy that he is released from LTIR and still able to play hockey again. It will be a long battle to get his game back. Best of luck Breeze! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kettlevalley Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Interesting that Vinny Letteri is on waivers today. Son of former Whitecaps keeper Tino Letteri and Grandson of Lou Nanne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hadn’t got hurt, he was looking at holding the 7/8 spot on our club. I don’t know that he’ll ever be a regular, but I think he’ll earn more then just an occasional call up, in my opinion.

I dunno man, management and coaching seem to bring him up too frequently if they didn't believe he could play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
