Sabre fan Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 This is vitally important news moving forward...Kyle is a good person and a very good hockey player and we need him in the lineup. Strange that the team has not said virtually anything about his condition. Makes you wonder if there isn;t something wrong here that they ain't telling us... Quote
That Aud Smell Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Posted April 23, 2017 So glad to hear this. I wonder: What sort of medication does one take for a concussion? Quote

Strange that the team has not said virtually anything about his condition. Makes you wonder if there isn;t something wrong here that they ain't telling us...Not really. By law, they can't say anything about his health, especially if whatever he is being treated for is not a hockey game/ practice related injury. And as others have stated above, this news, if correct, is excellent to read. Edited April 23, 2017 by Taro T Quote
Stoner Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 So glad to hear this. I wonder: What sort of medication does one take for a concussion? Wording might be important here. "When dealing with concussion." Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 When did Okposo suffer a concussion? Was that his "illness" before being admitted to the ICU? Quote
Marvelo Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 If Okposo suffered a concussion, then it's possible that he may have also damaged his detached retina, which previously almost ended his NHL career with the Islanders... Quote
Stoner Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 If Okposo suffered a concussion, then it's possible that he may have also damaged his detached retina, which previously almost ended his NHL career with the Islanders... It was repaired though. Quote
darksabre Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 If Okposo suffered a concussion, then it's possible that he may have also damaged his detached retina, which previously almost ended his NHL career with the Islanders... In what medical way are you making that connection? Quote
North Buffalo Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) More likely if he had a reaction to meds if true, the liability issue kept everyone silent. Vulture... er lawyers start circling fast. Edited April 23, 2017 by North Buffalo Quote
Huckleberry Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 Would have really sucked if we lost KO, that is someone we just can't replace. Good to hear he'll come back. Quote
Marvelo Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 In what medical way are you making that connection? http://nypost.com/2015/03/10/kyle-okposo-returns-to-islanders-just-in-time-for-rangers-duel/ “There is always a risk that it can happen again,” he said, “just with my eyes being the way they are. Being very, very nearsighted, there is always a risk.” Quote
I-90 W Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 Above all else I'm glad he is going to be okay. Aside from that though, is he still going to be playing come next October or is this a career ender? Quote

Being very, very nearsighted, there is always a risk.” So? What does a concussion have to do with that? Quote

Brawndo Posted May 10, 2017 Report Posted May 10, 2017 Carrier confirmed to RDS in an interview that Okposo had a concussion Quote
That Aud Smell Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Posted May 10, 2017 Carrier confirmed to RDS in an interview that Okposo had a concussion I think that had been widely reported as the reason for his initial absence from the lineup. The hospitalization was reportedly tied to an adverse reaction to a medication he took for the concussion. Quote
Stoner Posted May 12, 2017 Report Posted May 12, 2017 After running into Paul, he was MercyFlighted to the nearest trauma unit. Too soon? Quote
