I'm sorry, then what were you claiming if it wasn't injury? Slow skating?
- bloatedmosquito

I get your defense of Coho concerning all the assumed issues but....

The kid couldn't (frank)ing skate.
The likes of Tom Sestito could skate circles around the kid.

Not to mention his career minus -54.

As someone who suffers from severe chronic back problems from a variety of diseases, Dragon is the last person I would seek help from. I would probably get better care from the doctor in "The Marathon Man".
- Marwood

I think he was a dentist but I get your point.

It's frustrating for a health care professional to make a statement like Dragon did. He has no clue in regards to the case and yet he makes a statement like...

"Cody's playing ability could not have suffered from a long term back injury because the type of injury he had is 100% recoverable."

BS.

more hate and negativity from you ....the pathetic loser whose agenda is to annoy and malign posters here....you truly have no life.

I wouldnt treat you anyways. Your problems are not my field. You need a team of psychologists and extensive drug addiction program.
well and a number of beatings

I'll accept that as an excuse more than "attitude problem" and "got big pay cheque so he bailed."

As Prez stated, he had chronic issues with a ankle injury that probably hampered his skating ability. But he still produced at the NHL level and I can't believe people don't acknowledge that. There are player who will play 10 NHL seasons and not hit his numbers.

and youre not one yet you claim this....total BS.

Its 100% recoverable because I do this on a daily basis

ligament sprain is extremely cut and dry on what to do. Disc I treat daily. Yes I can make this claim....esp after 15 years of experience with it.

Agreed.
He was successful in 3 of his 4 full(ish) seasons.

SO much hate here today. Awesome Easter Monday

That phrase came from their mayor in 1987 as a response to how they handled the tornado that ripped through Edmonton, not because of all the Grey Cups and Stanley Cups.
- LeftCoaster

No it didn't .It came from Rick Antonson Vancouvers minister of Tourism who was working for Edmonton at the time in tourism

- WhiteLie

No! It's bad attitude. Don't question The Dragon.
- bloatedmosquito

Never question they Dragon, unless you are vantel and are discussing scouting.....

Also i always liked coho, but after things soured between him and AV the writing was inn the wall.

I do think that he got a little bit pissy after his 5x5m in buffalo contract was signed because he got pushed down the depth chart and the team blew donkey gonads.

But I'm a Canucks fan so he and Kassian can go slurp diarrhea soda for all I care at this juncture.

You don't know a thing about the specific case so how can you make a diagnosis like that?

Only in TOR can a guy with some face paint and a cancer stick become an overnight sports celebrity...

again not a serious injury....6 weeks and should be 100%
- SMBDragon

Misdiagnosed and got called out as being a wussy for not maning up by the head coach. That made him pissy

Never underestimate the power of feelings.

I wonder if ledfeetitis is 100 percent recoverable from? Dragon?

- WhiteLie

good find!

But seriously, what the (frank) is going on? No health care professional would make a statement like that. I don't think there is a professional in the world in any industry that would give an endeavour a 100% success rate.

Would anyone here, other than Dragon, give a 100% successful outcome to any project before you even had a chance to properly review the scope?

If your answer is yes please tell me who you are so I can make sure never to hire you.

- bloatedmosquito

because in those cases it doesnt matter. The treatment is usually exactly the same regardless of cause. Its great to have that info but still the treatment will be the same so we dont need it technically.

stop what?
Yes Im saying its 100% recoverable.
I have a long history working with herniated discs. Its not difficult either if treated right.....sadly it is often not done right with other practitioners due to lack of knowledge with it.

Luckily I did extra study on it
- SMBDragon

Really?

My alter ego had decompression surgery on his l4 and l5 (last Feb 2016). Because of it being degenerative, my prognosis is that it will just get worse. I fell down some stairs last month, and messed my back up again. I've had injections, and a “caudal” epidural.......I'm scheduled on the 25th for a surgery to "burn the nerves", the doc says I should be pain free for 6 to 9 months. Any Suggestions for before or after ?



Oh yeah....hockey.........ugh.......Go Sharks Go !! Go Ottawa Go!!

Edmonton as "The City of Champions"



In 1987, in the aftermath of the Black Friday incident where a tornado tore through Edmonton, then mayor Laurence Decor gave the city the moniker of “City of Champions” in response to the outstanding effort the cities citizens showed in coping with this disaster.[1] Coincidentally at the time the cities sports teams, most notably the Edmonton Oilers, were in the midst of an incredibly successful run of numerous championship seasons. Over the years, this slogan has become associated with the success of these sports franchises, overshadowing the original meaning of the slogan. Unfortunately, in recent times, the Oilers have become rather terrible and the slogan has become a sort of irony as the team has failed to procure any further championships. With this turn of events, Edmontonians themselves have begun to re-appropriate the slogan to describe themselves and the attitudes they expect of those from Edmonton.

Hey, if the right coach can take any team to champion status, then I don't see how the right.... physiotherapist couldn't fix 110% of any undiagnosed back injury.... much better then the 95% that a doctor can fix.

Also for dragon, it wasn't a strain, it was torn and would have required similar surgery to what edler undertook several years ago.
If you recall that then you would remember that his back would never recover 100% and this time frame had also been displayed in the drop off in performance coinciding with the same time frame.
