More of the blame should always fall on the person that has the problem. If they don't want to change, nothing that their family, friends, or anyone else does matters. They have to want to get past it.

That's what I was saying, but I my point was that the people around him should've definitely should've stepped up. If they DID step up, they didn't do anything very productive.

I made the point earlier that they probably didn't want to cause problems. He's likely the only big earner and their ticket to unabated access to the NHL. Sort of like a rock star.

I've pretty much killed myself since Thursday. It was time to tone it down a notch.

Yup. There are so many little details that we will never know that we really shouldn't make assumptions on what was done and what wasn't. All we can do is hope that the NHL, teams, Drs, players, and their families have learned their lesson and won't let it happen again.

I guess it's far less surprising when a rockstar dies like this. You just don't think of active pro athletes going out this way.

Well I think it has more to do with people thinking that Pro-athlete's take good care of themselves and their bodies, since it's their "tool" if you will.

The worst thing is, there was still 2 more lives lost AFTER Boogaard in Rypien and Belak. You would think that they would keep a closer eye on guys, especially Rypien because of his decade-long depression. I'm honestly surprised there hasn't been another death since that off-season.

His teammates might as well have been family. Regardless, someone should've stepped in. Overall, I agree.
- LetsGoBuffalo75

I dont get it....step in and do what? Join the real world....drug addicts are the best liars. Only people that can be helped are people that want to be helped.

Call me a moron but I have been around drugs all my life from XTC to cocaine to percocet. If someone does not want help you cant help them.....you give the easy answer but obviously have never been around or done drugs...

"someone should of gotten him help"


How do you do that? Unless you have a doctor commit him to a hospital NOTHING can be done.....life meet real world.

It is kind of sad Boogaard´s family is suing the NHL this only exsists in the USA. Blame the NHL instead of the people or persons really responsible. The NHL should sue the family.

Serously what world do you live in? This is the real world....step up and do what? That is your answer but in fact if someone does not want to be helped you cant help them.

What do you mean "do what?"? You try to help the guy in any way you can. Anything.

Operation Max Webster may be a lost cause.

Actually, the 5 days are up, so I guess it was successful for a while. I might just stay here. Read less, post less...

Ok....go on. I am listening.

There is Bogaard and you are his brother. What do you do? Give him a speech? Hold him down and put him in a straight jacket then off to the hospital? Make him go to rehab?


See, I belong to the real world. Yes in theory what you say is all rosie and nice but sorry you can only help people who want to be helped.

Apparently none of you have seen the show intervention. Family and friend try and mitigate the harm, not eliminate it in order to try and 'help them'

Until an addict takes accountability for their own actions, nothing will change for them. Until that time, their loved ones do as best they can.

Dolling out pills systematically for your brother is 'better' than letting him self medicate.
