That makes the 2 of us. I feel at this point management is trying to figure out how to honour him with his salary that was given to him and at the same time let him walk away being a proud 3 times Stanley Cup Champ, all while no hurting the cap the Hawks would be dinged with in relation to a retirement.
TCD lost in some canadian jail probably. DMelt I think started writing for another site and got busy. Think he popped back every blue moon.
That's nice and all but as someone with back problems I can tell you it doesn't matter how good of shape he's in if he can't get off the couch.
Nice comment on the minutes. Applies to all members of that great class. They've logged a ton of minutes when u consider playoffs. Kane and Keith are legit iron men.
I thought he was like 6'5" 265 typically, big buff status
I didn't realize the 'tweak' was so severe he couldn't get off the couch,he was at practice last week......no couch in sight.
If you go to the Hawks site,it shows the height and weight of every player,Seabs once played at 230lbs but has trimmed down to 220lbs as he aged.
And the couch was a figurative comment in relation to your response. Being at practice, and even skating is not an indication of health though. He was a finely tuned athlete. He has to be in order to achieve all that he has, at the level he has. But the fact remains he hasn't played in over a year and had some major surgery in that time. It's not just his back, it's his body, and I don't know what "tweak" you're referring too, but when you're trying to bring yourself back to the ultimate level of competition, 'tweaks' very well can be a big deal. Even before he went that last year, his on ice time was the lowest of his career last year and the year before. It was clear before last season that he was already taking the toll of the wear and tear not only related to the amount of ice time, but the amount of physicality he was relied upon. In a few weeks we could find out that he's is done and will never be able to reach the level of health required for him to play again, and he could still be considered in better shape than anyone on this board, that doesn't make him fat, but that doesn't change the fact that a 'tweak' isn't a big deal.
If possible, I like to post in an existing thread if it fits the topic rather than start anew one.
I do too but 6 years is a bit much. Haha
I know how many games he's played,I was at his 1,000th but your point is well taken. I just saw a guy who said he felt like a new man five months ago when he opted out on his own saying "he was close but not all the way there" who had those five months to recover and condition himself like he couldn't the past few years due to the issues he had addressed. His numbers had gone down but he hadn't missed any time to injuries in years before his procedures.
For a guy who makes some good posts,this is trolling......unless you actually feel a well conditioned athlete has double chins and a tender fat body. TF's wrong with you?
Seabrooke is the man.
Didn't Tony Amonte say, " It must be the body. It's chiseled out of marshmallows."?
