Rangers’ Filip Chytil and the ongoing concussion question facing NHLers: When is enough enough?
Pat Lafontaine doesn’t remember who told him this, but it still resonates with him. “They’ve never taken no for an answer,” said Rick Nash, who retired in 2018 due to concussion impacts after a 15-year career. If I’d had my first big concussion at 19 or 21, I’d have thought about things a lot differently than I did.” Lafontaine, Nash and Okposo had very public battles with concussions and their aftermath. “Some young guys are still pretty naive about concussions, but there’s so much more conversation around these issues, around mental health, at an earlier age,” Okposo said. “Even when you trust the professionals and they say it’s time, it’s easier said than done,” Lafontaine said.
