In my professional opinion, Mr. UMSL, you are indeed an asshole. Please remit my fee to the receptionist on your way out. Next patient, please ...UMSLBlues12 wrote: Wed Feb 12, 2020 12:04 pmI'm not sure if this makes me an asshole, but all the people on twitter who are like "I'm an [insert team thats not the Blues here] fan and I'm praying for Bouwmeester" are driving me insane. Why does anyone feel that it somehow makes them look better about hoping someone doesn't die if they're a fan of a different team? Like fuck, it doesn't matter, its a goddamn medical emergency
I want to know why you're targeting Oilers, Islanders and/or Avalanche fans with your ire.UMSLBlues12 wrote: Wed Feb 12, 2020 12:04 pm I'm not sure if this makes me an asshole, but all the people on twitter who are like "I'm an [insert team thats not the Blues here] fan and I'm praying for Bouwmeester" are driving me insane.

I see this all the time on sports Twitter and it’s always been so bizarre to me.UMSLBlues12 wrote: Wed Feb 12, 2020 12:04 pm I'm not sure if this makes me an asshole, but all the people on twitter who are like "I'm an [insert team thats not the Blues here] fan and I'm praying for Bouwmeester" are driving me insane.

Chalk it up to human psychology. Wishing well to others - especially others they don't know - makes people feel better themselves. Unless you're a grumpy old man like me.

It seems Capt might have died of a heart attack?CaptSMRT wrote: Wed Feb 12, 2020 4:23 pm I am betting we see #19 back on the ice sooner than we think.

Great for him he didn't quit the league, but I sure hope he quit the beer.Dave's a mess wrote: Wed Feb 12, 2020 3:12 pm... Fortunately, there is a happy ending to the story, as he pulled through, and after a quintuple bypass, he's as good as new. He even convinced his wife to let him start playing beer league again about 2 years after the incident, though I'm not sure he's as concerned about winning every race to the puck. ...

Both Jiri Fischer in 2005 and Rich Peverly in 2014 had the same thing happen to them and both also retired due to it...
By "apart of this," do you mean desperate to be away from it? I might be wrong, but I was under the impression that you don't experience "cardiac events" of this nature unless there is something wrong with your heart. So, I would be surprised if doesn't have a heart condition. I was also under the impression that doctors advise people with heart conditions to forgo intense cardio-vascular activity. So, I would be surprised if he wasn't advised to retire. I was also under the impression that he has a family, financial security and the bulk of a very successful career behind him. So, I would be surprised if he didn't take such advice if it were given to him.CaptSMRT wrote: Wed Feb 12, 2020 4:23 pm I am betting we see #19 back on the ice sooner than we think.

So far everything you have said is speculation. You could be right, but as long as we are talking about a person I am going to err on the side of optimism.insideout wrote: Wed Feb 12, 2020 8:55 pmBy "apart of this," do you mean desperate to be away from it?
