That's bad news! Not sure how many that makes for him but I think it's possibly enough that his career may be in jeopardy.

Eager is a f&cktard. He was born with a concussion.

I would rather see Hordichuk playing anyways, he has twice the heart that Eager has.

I hate to think of concussions ending someones career because they fight. Makes fighting look bad IMO. I don't care much for Eager, but hope he can get it together.

Why is it that guys like Dave Schultz, Terry O'Reilly, Behn Wilson, and so many others from the 70's who fought a lot, never have concussions? Was it because we didn't know about them or didn't hear about it?

Most of the players back then didn't wear helmets either so I just don't understand how all these guys today get concussions, it seems really fishy.
