Count me in as one who is leaning in Blitz' direction.
I don't think he's coming back.
Just my gut reaction.

I've been a pretty vocal supporter for SId to sit down for over a year or more if he wants to prolong his career. And I say this with the game's best interest in mind...some of you might think i am BS'ing. Several threads including the current one: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14055Read the stuff I linked on an old SI article about Lindros. Pens need to be very very careful with this, mgt needs to weigh it like a key financial decision with the club, but more than that, a human descion. And for the record, there are several things I hate about the Flyers mgt. and handling medical issues for the past 20 years........is the big big one. _________________

This was needed to keep a high level of interest I for once only will have to agree with you Switz. They need to get deposits in for STH's. But they need to get real and shut him down come October. _________________

Did he get practically decapitated or something? What kind of mega concussions are these?

It doesn't take much, just repeated ones....and it's on record he's had a few before the pro level.
