  1. Adams was at the NHL GM Meetings earlier this week when the team traveled to Utah. Unfortunately I think there is nothing to see here
  2. They need to give Tuch a deadline to make a decision on whether or not he wants an extension in Buffalo, although I have a feeling he is leaning towards joining another organization. Losing him for nothing July 1st is not an option.
  3. Some random thoughts During my Emergency Medicine Rotations, I had an attending who liked to talk about rare conditions and one of them was Commotio cordis, where a sudden blow to the chest at the wrong moment can cause cardiac arrest. My attending had seen a case of the month before when a teenage pitcher took a line drive in the chest causing cardiac arrest. There is another condition called prolonged QT syndrome where the electrical cycle of the heart takes longer to reset. It can be completely asymptomatic.Females and certain ethnic groups such as Eastern Asians are more predisposed to this condition. It is hereditary, but one needs to know their family history. There are certain medications which can also cause a prolongation of the QT Interval. One of these classes of medications is macrolides which are antibiotics, azitromycin ( Z PAK). When someone with undiagnosed prolonged QT Syndrome takes a Z Pack there is the risk of Torsades de pointes a cardiac arrhythmia which can lead to cardiac arrest.
  4. Most viruses are treated with supportive care and in some cases as evidenced by Zucker take longer to get over. For example EBV or Epstein Barr Virus which causes mono can be prolonged and present with nausea and vomiting I rotated with one of the Sabres Team Doctors for 4 years during residency. They have same day access to any specialist, imaging study or lab work that maybe required. Weekends and Holidays included. When McKee had His Infection, one of the team physicians and a ID Doc stopped by his house everyday to check on his progress, as slow as it was.
  5. Utah for one of Igilna, Desnoyers or But and the lowest of the three seconds they have
  6. This maybe the only way to end this curse
  7. Dahlin is training with Frolunda while in Sweden
  8. It’s almost like he is propped up by playing with some other Swedish defenseman last year
  9. Not sure why they would keep him in any role
  10. WHY THE ***** WOULD YOU PASS IT TO SAMUELSSON?
