RIP Colby cry Once an Oiler, forever an Oiler! Just out of curiously does anyone remember the last time an active NHL player passed away? I can only think of Luc Bourdon and our own Kristian Pelss who were both prospects at the time.


The offseason of 2011 was awful: Derek Boogaard, Wade Belak, and Rick Rypien.

Add in the Lokomotiv crash was in September, with former NHLers Pavol Demetra, Ruslan Salei, Karlis Skrastins, Karel Rachunek. It was a lot.

Don Ashby was a member of the Oiler organization who died in the Okanagan when his car was hit as the Ashby's were returning after the season ended for the Oiler farm team.

Were those guys active? For some reason I thought they were retired

This is nuts. My dad passed away from an aneurysm that hit him suddenly in his sleep, and this sounds like a similar situation. Condolences to his family and friends at this tragic time. There are more important things than hockey even for Canadians.

Sometimes I wonder if aneurysms occur as a result of a sudden change in activity habits.


2015/2016 - This Kool-Aid tastes like McDavid flavoured Drain-O.
2016/2017 - This Kool-Aid is starting to taste like juice.
2017/2018 - I'm drinking this Kool-Aid, in hopes that it's Drain-O.
2018/2019 - Another round of Drain-O, good sir!

Seems like it was a cyst that created pressure on a vessel in the brain. Not sure habits would have made a difference. Just extremely bad luck.

So sad. I didn't know much about him before, but he sounds like a solid character.


From what I read below, the type of cyst he had usually doesn't become life threatening, and if you have it, it is something that was with you since birth, usually presenting itself in a person's 30s to 40s, ... not that it really matters.

Quote:


Colloid Cysts

A colloid cyst's typical location, in the third ventricle, is what creates the risk that it may grow large enough to completely block the flow of cerebrospinal fluid.
A colloid cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms in the brain, usually in the third ventricle. These spherical cysts have a smooth rind and are filled with a gelatinous material called colloid. Colloid can range from being very fluid to having a nearly solid core. Colloid cysts are very rare, occurring in only about 3 people per million of population, and although they can be found at any age they are typically diagnosed in adults in their thirties and forties.

Like other cysts that occur in the brain, such as arachnoid cysts, colloid cysts are always benign. Arachnoid cysts and colloid cysts have an embryologic origin and are therefore referred to as developmental, or being present from birth. They are not neoplastic (tumors) and they are not cancerous, meaning that they do not spread or require radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Unlike arachnoid cysts, which usually do not grow in size, colloid cysts are expected to increase in size slowly over time.

The location of these cysts within the third ventricle and the potential for blockage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is the cause for concern. In fact, untreated colloid cysts on very rare occasion can cause sudden loss of consciousness and even death. Most colloid cysts, however, can be safely monitored indefinitely rather than treated. Factors that determine whether observation or surgical removal is best include the degree of CSF blockage, the size of the cyst, and the age of the patient. With treatment the prognosis for a patient with a colloid cyst is excellent. (See Surgery for a Colloid Cyst.)

What Causes a Colloid Cyst?
The cause of a colloid cyst is unknown, but it is believed to have its roots in fetal development. The rind (wall) of the cyst is a remnant of normal embryologic tissue. There is nothing known to cause a colloid cyst — it is not associated with exposure to radiation, cell phone use, or prenatal care. There is no known congenital link, meaning that family members do not require screening. Since colloid cysts are so rarely found in children, they are thought to start to grow later in life.

Yeah I didn't know much about Colby Cave before this tragedy. I don't get to into guys celebrity or private lives away from the arenas. I'm reading allot of how Colby was a leader, captain of his junior team, took rookies under his wing ect. Though not uber skilled like a Drai or McD Cave Man seemed to make up for that in character and positive demeanor, a real Matt Hendricks in the making!

It reminds me of our survivor guru Adrean's loss the other year there. Whether it's a drunk driver; suicide, or a brain thing, whatever, when the person is that young it just makes a bad thing even worse.

Crazy support for the Caveman coming out of Battleford today.

Sad, but awesome to see that kind of love.

By all accounts he was a good guy. You wouldn't think a professional athlete at 25 would die but just shows how short life can be.

What an amazing way for Saskatchewan to pay tribute to Colby Cave, up to and including the Premier's office

https://twitter.com/PremierScottMoe/status/12498284319251374 08

Saskatchewan can be so very proud of this unique tribute to one of their own.

In all that is going on this is another gut punch.. the outpouring of support from the mighty people of Saskatchewan to the memorium at Rogers place, the grief is real.

You're supposed to walk away recovering from surgeries like this, it's not supposed to end this way.

2020 has been a really bad year.



The very definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different results.

Generally Disappointed.

Yup, ranks up there with 2001 and 1987 for me....those were years that either changed the world or changed my world significantly, and we're only a month in here, really. My 19 and 21 y/olds are already musing about how they're going to describe 2020 to their grandchildren. I just told them hold on, use the adversity as an opportunity, it's what comes after that's important.

Looks like some good things are going to come after the tragedy of Caver's death. That's what's important now.
