he's about 3 days late to the party.

The team should've gotten suspicious when the snow on Crow's mask didn't melt after games.

It may not have come across that way but I meant that you nailed it and thus it's probably not just a mundane injury.

What do you expect from a league where the Las Vegas expansion team is virtually undefeated at home because these spoiled oafs can't conceive of going to VEGAS BABY WOOOOO without overdoing alcohol and cocaine?

Vertigo. Possibly season ending and god knows what else. Fuck.

Crawford has vertigo, according to Sun Times he had similar symptoms when he missed the last month of the 15-16 season before the playoffs. The team said he may not play again this season. (if not even longer)

I'm not sure if his symptoms are the same as here, but it does remind me of this from Bryce Salvador https://www.theplayerstribune.com/bryce ... etirement/

Eh, took them 3 weeks to announce it was vertigo? Hmmm....

David Duval disease. Send him to LTIR.

Well this is how Bickell's serious health issues started. If he were in rehab I think they would have gone public with their creation of a 2nd asshole for him. I doubt this is something you want everyone knowing about and talking about. He probably was just hoping it went away and finally decided to let someone speak once the rehab rumors took off.

Time to start dealing. Put Crawford on long term LTIR, use that cap space to take on a larger expiring contract from a cap constrained contender for somebody with equal money but over 2-3 years, and pick up a prospect as a commission.

No use bring him back to a team which is slipping more every week, and risk permanent damage. Let him rest up and he can make a decision this summer about returning in October.

If it turns out that the doctors advise him that more damage is possible and he should retire, put him on the Hossa LTIR wagon and start the rebuild in earnest.

Good idea. Ansimov would be the only one that fits that criteria- 3yrs after this at $4.55m per/yr.

If it turns out to be MS like Bickell, I don't think it's a matter of risking permanent damage - it's there, period. That's a pro athlete retirement sentence right there. Ended Bickell's and Josh Harding's careers quickly after diagnosis. I agree, though, if there are any suspicions, may as well do what you can to bolster the team for the rest of the season.

At this point, I think there is no reason to give up any assets.

There are plenty of things outside of MS that vertigo can be a symptom of. That's why I linked to the Salvador Player's Tribune piece.

What a shame. This guy was playing darn good. Gotta be a veteran goalie out there better than Glass right?? You either give up on the season and trade for the future or get a goalie ASAP to rejuvenate the team. You can't just do nothing and continue with the status quo.

Vertigo is hockey slang for "MS".

Scotty Bowman (not Stan) is saying it is post concussion syndrome related.

First thing I thought of. Is vertigo that difficult to diagnose?

Due to a clerical error, for the first week or so they were trying to diagnose Crow with vitiligo.

Always though of vertigo as a symptom more than a diagnosis. Vertigo always reminds me Nick Esasky. I’m not going to say that bastard cost me a roto league championship in 1990 with his vertigo issues but it sure didn’t help the cause.

They were probably trying to delay the conclusions people would rightfully form about this team's chances this season for as long as possible. Maybe it helped attendance for a few games when people didn't know how serious Crawford's situation was. Personally, I might have gone to a game over the last couple weeks but now I feel the season is lost.

I don't know if that would be why. The tickets are all sold, it's just a matter of secondary ticket market and no-shows. StubHub tickets will be cheap so I'm grabbing a game when I'm in town next month.

I'm seeing some that are below face value so that's fine by me
