@swain

No doubt. But still, this is disappointing. In the end, I hope for Max's recovery. He has a young family and I hope he has the best outcome for him and his family. Whether that's not fighting again, so be it. Like someone said earlier, worst case is a TJ Grant situation where so much talent at such a young age was never fulfilled. But this is entertainment. There is nothing in any sport that is worth risking life, limb, or eyesight for.

I remember Sidney Crosby (yeah I'm lucky enough to have had Super Mario & Sid the Kid in my lifetime) suffered a concussion against Washington. And a few short days later he suffered a 2nd one. That almost ended his career. One concussion is dangerous enough, but a 2nd before the affects of the 1st subside can be fatal.

I still shudder thinking about him crossing the middle of the ice with his head down.

This sounds real bad. My guess is either severe dehydration which will display itself with concussion like symptoms, or more likely is he got caught sparring, and his team thought he would be good to go by fight time. I really do hope he is alright. To heck with his fighting career.

word on the street is during a heated sparring session Yancy kicked Max so hard that not only did Max get KO'd brutally but Yancy pulled his rib.

Yea, free$. Brett was never as skilled. Eric was so skilled for a guy who could thug around too. The newer NHL might of helped his longevity but his physical play made him a target. He also really did have a terrible habit of skating with his head down too. Scott Stevens was one of the hitters of all time. Unfortunately we had to face him too often.

DC\Lewis made me some cash though. Thought both were being underestimated from a betting stand point. Was wicked pumped for DC who I believe is great LHW ever and possibly HW as well.
