Johan Franzen hasn't played in an NHL game in nearly three years, but he's still feeling the affects of those days, according to his wife, Yuta Watanabe Jersey Ci si. In a blog , Ci si described the post-concu sion symptoms Franzen is still experiencing from a concusion suffered in 2015 while playing for the Detroit Red Wings. Franzen played two games in the 2015-16 season, attempting to make a comeback from a concu sion he had sustained the season prior after an open-ice collision with the Edmonton Oilers Rob Klinkhammer. But Franzen made it two games into that season before playing his last on Oct. 10, 2015. "I feel really bad for him," Klinkhammer said . "It wasn't really intentional. I was kind of skating to the bench. and he was skating one way. I saw him at the last second, kind of braced myself, and I think his head hit my head or something. Completely unintentional." According to Ci si, Johan is currently being treated at the Marcus Brain Helath Institute in Denver. It's a facility provides " ...care for people with mild to moderate brain injuries, including concu sions, and Alex Len Jersey changes in psychological health. The MIBH has specialty services for military Veterans with mild to moderate traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and post-traumatic stre s (PTS), depre sion, and anxiety. We also serve retired athletes who have had head trauma and are in need of comprehensive care," according to . Ci si said Johan is the first athlete to be treated at MIBH. In her blog post, Ci si outlined the struggles that Johan and his family have gone through, and some of what they witne sed during a recent visit. Hes still dealing with post concu sion syndrome, and the last months have been really bad. Something needed to happen and Im so thankful we found this new amazing place....First day when we came was a great day, so nice to see each other again. Second day terrible and we got in to a huge fight. Probably normal in most relationships, but when you have an brain injury it adds up, and it becomes SO not rational. The brain just cant paus and take a break when its overloaded and cant recover. He bounced back to a very dark and sad place. However, Im glad it happened while we were there. The amazing top of the line team at The Marcus, DeMar DeRozan Jersey handled the situation so profe sionally, they rescheduled his and my schedule completely the day after to treat him as best as they could. You could feel how they all genuinely cared for Johan, and also me. Franzen still has two years remaining on his current contract, but the likelihood he ever plays again seems very slim. But there's obviously a much more important, real-life element at play here for the Franzen family. "So as I said, its been very hard, but also GREAT!" Ci si wrote in the blog post. "They have a really good approach where they target all different aspects of PTSD, everything from auditory proce sing, balance, vision and tools to deal with dark thoughts of depre sion and ways to learn how to calm down with meditation and mindfulne s, and to be proactive to give themselves a longer fuse.

The NHL is , alleging the league hasn'tdoneenough in its handling of concu sions. On Monday, ahead of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Golden Knights and Washington Capitals, commi sioner Gary Bettman sidestepped a question about the link between concu sions andChronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, a degenerative brain disease more commonly known as CTE. I asked Bettman if he still believed the science isnt precise enough to prove a link between concu sions and CTE. He said he didnt want to Damon Stoudamire Jersey be part of another news cycle. Helene Elliott (@helenenothelen) The NHL has taken some measures to addre s concu sions, adding in-arena spotters prior to the 2016-17 season. It was that new protocol that pulled Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marche sault out of Game 1 after taking . The MIBH website also challenges how the severity ofconcu sions have been downplayed in the past. "For many years, people struggled alone with mild to moderate brain injuries," it reads. "Concu sions have been misunderstood as 'just a bump on the head.'Today we know differently. There are clear changes in brain functioning after injury and for many people there are long-term changes."
