Vokoun se bál, že umøe. Po operacích øíká: Možná už nebudu hrát hokej - iDNES.cz

Looking like Mr. Vokoun's career may be ending.

Google translate:
Hockey fans in Pittsburgh and countries Czech peered message when the goalie Tomas Vokoun after problems with blood clots will come back in the match NHL. The answer may well be: Never. Probably missed a few Vokoun died over the weekend. "Luckily me an hour and a half reached the hall. Escaped gravedigger's shovel," he said in an interview with MF Dnes.

"His career I pushed the ladder of priorities. As a hockey player I'm old, but as a person not yet. I hope that I still have more than half his life ahead of him. Health is more important than sport."
Initial reports from overseas sounded so dramatically. Vokoun during training felt pain in his thigh, club doctor examined him and sent him to the hospital. Czech veteran then underwent surgery on Wednesday released him to home care. It is not yet clear when the catch again for Penguins.
And now Vokounová authentic makeup:
"Swollen my foot, I got scared. Within an hour and a half, I was lying in the hall. This would be a life afraid of anyone. Luckily, that for me so well taken care of. Doctor knows our local specialist who operated on me now. Blood I had clots from mid-thigh almost to the heart. "

On Sunday and Monday underwent thirty-seven goalie other two treatments. From Florida to him immediately flew to Pittsburgh's wife, who takes care of him now. On the phone he arrived volley encouraging reports from team mates, buddies of former NHL and representation. "I'm very happy," he says.
Vokoun is taking medication to thin the blood and is grateful to be alive, "I'm lucky that at that time the problem came.'s Not anything that you would have wanted under the tree, but I hope that the worst is behind me."
Pittsburgh Penguins found themselves in a precarious situation because now lack insurance for their leader Marc-Andre Fleury. Vokoun hockey but now sees problems from a different perspective. "I'm obviously thought it would for me be the end of their careers," he said. "It would not be so difficult for me decision. Now I mainly listen to doctors. Health is clearly in the first place."

What in the actual fuck?

Sounds similiar to what was ailing Roman Cervenka - They put him on blood thinners and it seemed to help, but it really set him back as far as conditioning was concerned.

Good luck and best wishes to Tomas Vokoun.

Apparently he had clots from his thigh to near the heart.

My Czech is limited to only hip and cross.

if he retires ... Alan Walsh will have to deal with the insurance companies
if he keeps pluggin away with light workouts (like Matty Ohlund) ... he still gets paid by the Pens

The Pens would still be on the hook for that cap hit if he retired this year anyhow...so I imagine both parties want to pursue continuing toward recovery. I have no idea what the precedent is for this condition. I know a few guys have had avascular necrosis around the head of the femur, especially goalies, and that's one where you basically have to hang 'em up (though maybe it was Emery who had that?)...but having clots, and clots that are moving, is insanely dangerous. And playing on thinners is dangerous.

Would really be a shame if his career ended from this. At least this happened and was diagnosed before the season started, so he will have ample time to recover. After the way he played down the stretch and into the post-season, just wouldn't be right for Vokoun to go out like this.
