I'm not talking about him in particular, but if a person is that bad those are the last things you want to have happen.

Like when people have a kid to save a relationship

He did say that the concussions changed his personality. CTE is a real possibility, and it gets more real with each bump to the noggin
- jcragcrumple

Don't even have to hit your head. A missed check and he hits the boards will rattle his skull, a regular check coming to a stop that quickly will rattle his skull, falling on the ice will rattle his skull...

how is he risking his life?



whatever issues he had in the past is long gone, medically cleared


he is not going to retire, leave that money on the table to satisfy a few hockeybuzz posters


we got lucky with berglund, not gonna happen twice
- homiedclown

How is he risking his life ? Another concussion and he could be done for
I don’t know about you but i’m sure his kid would like him to remember his name when he’s 30

He should’ve retired

I understand he’s a great guy but risking your life when you have a child and a wife for a game is pretty Selfish

I'm sure he's looking at it the other way.

He is earning $ for generations of okposos.

Pretty selfless more than selfish in my opinion

He already has generational wealth. $40m in career earnings

I’m just saying when your married or having a kid you usually change your ways In life and attitude you become a better person Thats less focused On negativity and become extremely happy

he has the best doctors money can buy to advise him

- jcragcrumple

Half in taxes
Agent fees

Still a big number though. Much higher then I realized.

Wow

a concussion can destroy any hockey player's life though


should jack retire when he gets married and spend time with his family, so he does not get a bad concussion?

what about dahlin?


what about casey?



sorry, but every player takes that risk on the ice

I'm sure he's looking at it the other way.

How much more money does he need ? Yes he’s being selfish do you think his wife likes watching him I guarantee you she is frightened every game saying don’t get hit

She Experienced him almost committing suicide

again, why should he leave all this money on the table?



his last name is not berglund

I think okposo's multiple concussions and ECMC visit may put him in a different category?

Its riskier

You’re missing the point Has jack or Casey or Swedish Jesus had concussion problems? Somethings are more important than hockey

His injury history puts him very close to Eric Lindros status. If he gets knocked out one more time... well I don't want to see it. I've seen what one concussion can do to someone. Repeated concussions are not a joke

thoughts of suicide is different then attempting to take one's like

If Andrew peters can get a job with WGR Kyle will be fine

Hey baseball fans, I have a question. I’m heading to NYC in a week or so and want to see a Yankees game. Our hotel is in Times Square.

1. How do you get to the game in the Bronx via public transportation?

2. How safe is it to get to the game from the subway? Like normal big city keep your eyes open/ scary big city where the cops tell you to get back on the subway/ or charles Bronson in Death Wish 3?

3. Is it a fun place like wrigleyville in Chicago where you can grab a bite and a beer without being accosted?

Planning on going early and taking a tour of the stadium.

Thanks.
- Da_Cashman

I was in NYC for work last week and a few of us went to a Yankees game after work one evening. Took a train (w/ 1 transfer) from Rego Park, Queens to Yankee Stadium, Bronx. It was about 45 minutes but you'll be much closer in Manhattan. It's absolutely safe to take the train to the Bronx and the neighborhood is around the stadium is great. Like others have said, you'll be around tourists and Yankee fans. Just follow them right to the front gates when you get off. You can't miss the stadium.

If you ask at the hotel, they'll tell you which train to take to get there and probably give you a map (most decent hotels do this in NYC) - or you could use google maps, which is what we did. I never knew that it could give you directions via subway before last week. Have fun!

As a dad, you do put more pressure on yourself to provide.

I agree with you, he should quit though.

Maybe he needs a intervention?

Almost certainly, yes.

skinner had similar issues years ago, he is in the clear


sabres have the best doctors money can buy, if there is a way to keep okposo off the ice, would have happened after his "fight" last season


search for a better prize in your next cracker jack box

And you would know about either of those two things?

he played sim city back in the day

I understand where your coming from but he has probably 15 million of solid good money without taxes etc

And if he needs to work again he can go work for the NHL network or WGR In a couple years

Hell I think he be a good coach someday

If Andrew peters can get a job with WGR Kyle will be fine
- gerbe75pts

I'm sure his wife and family will adjust quickly to the pay cut.
