[Dhaliwal] Elliotte Friedman sur la blessure de Tanner Pearson : S’il ne peut plus jouer, je m’attends à ce qu’un grief soit déposé. Il n’est pas certain qu’il rejoue. Les Canucks devront se défendre s’il est empêché d’un autre contrat.
Elliotte Friedman on Tanner Pearson injury : If he can not play again, I expect a grievance to be filed. It is uncertain if he will play again. The Canucks will have to defend themselves if he is prevented from another contract.

Not going to comment on any of the legal stuff bc I haven’t looked into it enough to have an informed opinion. Just feel really bad for Tanner.
You know it’s bad when a guy as reserved as Quinn comes out and basically calls out the organization on behalf of Pearson.
That should make for a wild and crazy Festivus season should that be needed
From what I understand it was a raging infection. Someone I work with had an identical thing happen. His hand is workable, but it’ll never be the same. He couldn’t shoot a puck. Doubt you can blame the doctors for an infection, that’s one of the biggest issues with surgery these days.
Gonna be curious to see what happens the next time a Canuck breaks a hand/wrist and if they get into an Eichel thing where they want to go outside the organization affiliation for surgery.
Brock’s scar ripped open this year either during a game or practice, Dickinson had a broken hand most of last season the team didn’t/couldn’t diagnose and Petey’s wrist went from day-to-day to basically 12 months before he could properly lean into a shot again. This Pearson thing is a real mess that can leave a lasting stink over an organization, especially as this year’s medical team is handpicked and brand new.
I predict this becomes this off seasons main reason for other teams dunking on the Canucks. Hope Tanner can come back from it, feel super shit for the guy.
Interesting – it would be really hard to believe Canucks would cheap out on players’ surgeries as both parties interest should line up. But I guess the team could encourage/force players to play prematurely – there would be a conflict of interest in that regard.
The Canucks are a hockey team, they won’t defend themselvws against a malpractice suit, that’s for the Dr and Medical Facility.
No one here watch Medical dramas?
Sucks for Tanner
The « hypothetical » negligent scenario in question is as follows.
TP has surgery.
TP gets infection. TP speaks to team Dr. Team Dr says no worries it will be fine. TP goes home. Infection spreads to the point where his hand was literally at risk. Dead tissue is being removed. Antibiotics pumped into the hand.
Dr treating the infections jaw hits the floor when they hear that it was brought to a Drs attention and they shrugged it off.
Not saying it happened this way…. but.
I don’t know why they decided to overhaul their medical staff. We’ll never know but why fix smth that isn’t broke?
Don’t care how anyone feels about how he plays. Canucks medical staff should be ashamed. Seems like they just ruined Tanner’s whole career.
I for one look forward to Tanner Pearson, new owner of the Canucks.
Just another issue for the Canucks to deal with.. things will never get better with this team, will they?
