Carcillo calls out Bettman for ‘laughable’ concussion comments

[rimouskis]

You mentioned you're reading a couple non-fiction books on Soviet hockey - have you read any on North American hockey? Especially from an outsider point of view (e.g. Men at Play by Michael Robidoux). Any recs? Thanks!

I have not, sadly! I am unread in the ways of Hockey Books, for the most part. The vast, vast majority of what I've read has been Sid-focused, too. I have read....

The Rookie: A Season with Sidney Crosby and the New NHL

Sidney Crosby: Taking the Game by Storm

Most Valuable

The Ovechkin Project: A Behind-The-Scenes Look at Hockey's Most Dangerous Player

The Russian Five: A Story of Espionage, Defection, Bribery and Courage

And on my kitchen table are The Red Machine and Larionov.

so.... Sid + Russian-player focused, unfortunately! I also have a copy of Game Change (about Steve Montador) sitting on my bookshelf, but that's mostly about hockey and CTE, so not very outsider focused! If anyone else has rec ideas, please throw them into a reply!

hockey book recommendations for my anon

okay, so the problem with hockey books are that a lot of them honestly aren’t very good. there are tons of shitty books that are like compendiums where it’s like 50 greatest goalies in the history of the nhl! except it was published like 20 years ago. there’s some value to me in reading it but would i recommend it to the casual reader? no not really.

i also can’t honestly recommend a ton of biographies because the problem is that a lot of them are autobiographies and they’re ghostwritten and only done when the dude’s broke and needs the cash and accordingly not very good unless you’re particularly interested in that player, and sometimes not even then. i’ve read a bunch from older guys like darren mccarty and they’re pretty self serving and basically read like he was sitting down dictating the book to the ghostwriter (which i’m almost 100% sure is what happens).

similarly the flyers books aren’t like. good. but they have information.

so like take all of these kind of with a grain of salt. i love anything jack han is involved with, the sean mcindoe book is easily digestible, wyshynski is an asshole but that book is super helpful if you are new to hockey, and the robidoux and robinson books are, goes without saying, necessary reads.

general topics

stephen cole, hockey night fever

craig custance, behind the bench

jack falla, home ice: reflections on backyard rinks

stephen hardy, hockey: a global history

sean mcindoe, the down goes brown history of the nhl

brian mcfarlane, history of hockey

michael mckinley, hockey: a people’s history (this is also a documentary series)

michael mckinley, putting a roof on winter

ron mclean, hockey towns

greg wyshynski, take your eye off the puck

flyers related

jakki clarke, flyer lives

chuck gormley, orange, black & blue

adam kimelman, the good, the bad, & the ugly

lou nolan, if these walls could talk

goalies

françois allaire, the hockey goalie’s complete guide

jim corsi, the hockey goalie’s handbook (yes that’s THE corsi)

hockey culture/social justice concerns

ross bernstein, the code: the unwritten rules of fighting and retaliation in the nhl

sheldon kennedy, why i didn’t say anything (tw for abuse)

michael robidoux, stickhandling through the margins: first nations hockey in canada

laura robinson, crossing the line: violence and sexual abuse in canada’s national sport (also tw for abuse)

biographies

john branch, boy on ice: the life and death of derek boogard (this one also crosses over into the culture/social justice concerns imo)

ken dryden, the game (probably one of the finest autobiographies out there)

ken dryden, game change: the life and death of steve montador and the future of hockey (this one also crosses over into the culture/social justice concerns imo)

j. gallagher and valmore james, black ice: the val james story

barry melrose, dropping the gloves

bob mckenzie, hockey dad

ray macskimming, gordie

brantt mhyres, pain killer (this one also crosses over into the culture/social justice concerns imo)

drills and tactics

dave chambers, the hockey drill book

jack han, hockey tactics 2020

mike johnson, hockey plays and strategies

ryan stimson, tape to space: redefining modern hockey tactics

hopefully you can find at least something in there that you like!

What do you think of Carcillo’s recent tweets? I feel like he’s making some good points, but he’s said a lot of wrong stuff in the past about related issues, so it kinda dilutes his overall message. I want to make sure I’m not misinformed though

well it's something he has been talking about for some time now. and i do believe him, i think the nhl teams are careless in some of their decisions regarding their players health, specially allowing the players to play hurt, not properly informing them about the long term effects of taking painkillers/other pills, or sustaining multiples concussions. if you want to learn more about it and make up your own mind, here are some links for you: carcillo talking about his head trauma for player's tribune, tsn the problem of pain doc, an article about steve montador and this one about ryan kesler.

[idknhlstuff]

Carcillo was talking about Steve Montador, who played for the Hawks 2011-2012 and Rockford eventually in 2012-2013 (which Carcillo referenced because of how he decided to treat his concussion(s).) He also served on the NHLPA, you can see him sitting next to Jonny in the meetings in some of the infamous “Prince Hair” photos during the lockout in 2012. Sadly, he died in 2015 and not surprisingly suffered from CTE. I was shocked to find out he had 19!!!! concussions!! His story and so many others not just in the NHL are so heartbreaking. Someone I went to school with took his own life 2 months ago, he played football and basketball. He had CTE and left behind 3 young boys. I may not agree with everything Carbomb says or how he says it, but I really appreciate that he advocates so hard for abused athletes and athletes with brain injuries.

It's really scary to see those numbers

The 2019-20 Canadian Hockey League season is officially underway and early performances by six players from coast-to-coast have earned them a position in the debut edition of the Vaughn CHL Team of the Week.

This week’s forward group is headlined by Peterborough Petes centre Semyon Der-Arguchintsev, a Toronto Maple Leafs prospect who led the circuit with seven points, all coming as helpers, as he was dubbed the OHL On the Run Player of the Week. The Russian-born forward’s efforts guided the Petes to a 1-1-0-0 showing to begin the year.

Topping the charts in the WHL was Everett Silvertips captain Bryce Kindopp, who led all league scorers with six points counting three goals and three assists to help his club earn a split through the first two games of the new campaign. The veteran forward was recognized as the WHL On the Run Player of the Week.

Rounding out the forward ranks is Quebec Remparts right-wing Pierrick Dube, who potted a hat-trick Sunday to lead his club to a 6-4 victory over the Drummondville Voltigeurs. Across two contests, Dube has collected five points to come away as the Ultramar QMJHL Player of the Week.

The blue line begins with Erie Otters defenceman and 2020 NHL Draft prospect Jamie Drysdale, who matched a franchise record Saturday in recording five points counting one goal and four assists in an 8-5 triumph over the Hamilton Bulldogs. The high-water mark draws Drysdale even with Steve Montador and David Froh as the only Erie rearguards to have scored five points in one game. Drysdale’s five points lead all OHL defenders.

Partnering on the back end is 19-year-old defenceman Seth Bafaro of the Vancouver Giants whose five points including two goals and three assists lead all WHL blue-liners in the season’s early goings. Bafaro enters Friday’s contest against the Portland Winterhawks as his club’s leading scorer.

Between the pipes, the top performance came from Seattle Thunderbirds netminder Roddy Ross, whose lone appearance proved to be busy as he turned aside 50 shots in an eventual 4-1 decision versus the Kamloops Blazers, giving the Philadelphia Flyers sixth round pick a leading .980 save percentage

what happened to Ryan Kessler is absolutely terrifying and the nhl is not held responsible

same anon - these guys will push through for their careers but it’s scary to think about their quality of life after

well they never are held responsible right like they act like there’s not an immense amount of pressure put on these guys to keep playing through the pain (hello they learn it from a very young age as patrick demonstrated today with his broken wrist story) and then think about how that pressure is multiplied when millions of dollars in contracts are involved i’ve read from past nhl players who didn’t report injuries because they didn’t wanna be “burdens” i’ve heard of them self-medicating in other ways i mean guys have their careers ended because of injury and what’s left for them? the nhl isn’t gonna lift a finger to help they know that even if a  player gets injured he’ll either recover or they can find someone else there’s always gonna be guys who wanna play hockey and it doesn’t really matter to them i mean the hawks really think they’re not responsible for what happened to steve montador they don’t hold themselves accountable for anything and even with case after case and ex-players speaking up there still hasn’t been anything done to either better prevent serious injury or to help players after the fact because once again and i can’t stress this enough- they do not care!

The NHL struck a blow to the concussion lawsuit brought by former players earlier this summer, and is now attempting to work out a settlement. The lawsuit began five years ago with players alleging that the league’s inadequate and outdated handling of concussions negatively affected their health.

Earlier this summer, a judge in Minnesota ruled that the case could not proceed as a class action lawsuit (meaning that 5,000 former players will not automatically be added to the lawsuit, and would have to file independently).

Subsequently, TSN obtained transcripts from a recent court hearing where the judge comments on attempts to reach a “private resolution.”

The NHL is trying to settle now in order to avoid the hundreds of individual lawsuits that could be brought against them. 138 players have already filed and 150 more have retained lawyers. The first case will likey be that of Steve Montador, who passed away at the age of 35, and whose autopsy showed that his “brain was decaying due to the head hits he endured during his NHL career.”

Former Washington Capitals enforcer Stephen Peat has struggled with mental health, which his family believes is “rooted in brain trauma sustained on the ice in so many fights.” They had been “closely tracking the class-action lawsuit against the N.H.L. brought by players saying that the league concealed information about the dangers of concussions.”

While the denial of the class action suit was certainly a blow to the players, it could end up working in their favor. TSN spoke with Jodi Balsam, a former lawyer for the NFL, who explains why the NHL may be making this move now.

“They’ve won a fairly consequential pre-trial ruling,” Balsam said. “With that win, the NHL is in the best settlement posture it will be in a while. It may be the best moment for the NHL to consider settling.

“If the NHL decides to go to trial on all these cases, they still have to go through further discovery and depositions, and then prepare to try hundreds of individual cases across the country. Maybe the NHL is spread thin doing that.

“As things stand, the NHL may have to eventually go into court facing hundreds of cases across the country,” she said. “This case is like tobacco where lawyers tried to form a class action and failed because every smoker had a different story and health background. Then lawyers were able to go into courts across America, play to different juries, and have the opportunity to win a precedent-setting case. Juries are unpredictable. Every trial is a crapshoot.”

As more players step forward and share their stories, pressure increases on the NHL to improve its handling of hits to the head during games and concussion protocol and treatment afterwards.

[iconicsportsphotosandstories]

From the bestselling author and Hall of Famer Ken Dryden, this is the story of NHLer Steve Montador—who was diagnosed with CTE after his death in 2015—the remarkable evolution of hockey itself, and a passionate prescriptive to counter its greatest risk in the future: head injuries. Ken Dryden's The Game is acknowledged as the best book about hockey, and one of the best books about sports ever written. Then came Home Game (with Roy MacGregor), also a major TV-series, in which he explored hockey’s significance and what it means to Canada and Canadians. Now, in his most powerful and important book yet, Game Change, Ken Dryden tells the riveting story of one player’s life, examines the intersection between science and sport, and expertly documents the progression of the game of hockey—where it began, how it got to where it is, where it can go from here and, just as exciting to play and watch, how it can get there.
