Yeah. Forget when his first one was but I think it had him out the whole season. Glad he survived, but hopefully he is seriously looking after his health long term.

Time to hang ‘em up Tanger.

Kind of a sudden and unforeseen way to get there, but I was thinking the same thing. Health is #1.

I wonder what is the cause? I know what caused mine and I’m not a professional athlete.

Lots of different reasons from what I understand. I'd imagine the doctors recommend that he puts sports on pause until they figure it out for him, since it's not his first. Make sure the high physical activity is not contributing.

I think they attribute some of it to a birth defect that left a few little tiny holes in his heart if I was reading things correctly.

The Colorado Avalanche announced star forward Nathan MacKinnon won't return to Monday's contest against the Philadelphia Flyers due to an upper-body injury.

What caused MacKinnon's ailment is unclear, but he appeared to be in discomfort after taking a shot in the first period. He also took a couple of hits from Scott Laughton along the Flyers' bench.


MacKinnon put up one assist and saw just under five minutes of ice time in the opening frame.

The Avalanche are banged up two months into the 2022-23 campaign. They're currently without forwards Gabriel Landeskog, Valeri Nichushkin, Artturi Lehkonen, Evan Rodrigues, Darren Helm, Shane Bowers, and Jean-Luc Foudy. The team's blue line is also battered, missing the likes of Josh Manson, Bowen Byram, and Kurtis MacDermid.

Here's how Colorado lined up prior to MacKinnon's exit against the Flyers:


Heading into Monday's contest, MacKinnon led the Avalanche with 25 assists and 33 points in 22 games.
