Randy Carlyle is really, really not a doctor

[puckhead]

Grange on NHL: Would Leafs undersell Lupul injury? - Sportsnet.ca

“I have a theory on concussions,” he said. “I think the reason there’s so much more of them — obviously the impact and the size of the equipment and the size of the player — but there’s another factor: everyone wears helmets, and under your skull when you have a helmet on, there’s a heat issue.

“Everyone sweats a lot more, the brain swells. The brain is closer to the skull."

after:

Has he ever suffered a concussion himself?

“The only time I really felt like I had that type of situation was in Montreal I got an elbow from Mario Tremblay and he broke a cosmetic bone in the side of my head and I went back to the hotel and I threw up and I was nauseous,” said Carlyle, who played 1,055 NHL games and never wore a helmet. “That’s the only time …if you can call that a concussion, I don’t know in today’s terms. But I played Wednesday.”

lol Nope, not a doctor.

At least he says it's just a personal theory.

He should partner up with Dr. Recchi and open up a clinic

[IPostedWhat]

At least we know it's not Lupus.

 

[davnlaguna]

There is no way Carlyle has suffered a concussion. A concussion is a brain injury. No brain means no injury

Dr. Recchi says "Suck it up princess"

 

[pixburgher66]

Cosmetic...bone...yeah, you don't need those skull bones working. What. An. Idiot.


Yeah, full Hermione'd.

 

[Darkstone42]

I kind of hope he says something else, even stupider than this. Then we can start the Randy Carlyle is really, really, really not a doctor thread.

my brain swells when I get excited

I have a theory that when you get excited, your heart beats faster, pumping up your brain like a pair of Reebok Pumps. If it happens too often, the pump mechanism breaks and your brain no longer pumps up properly.

I meant my lower brain, the one that's really in control.







Edit:
I have reebok pump skates. They're awesome sauce.

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

Oh wait.

Maybe you meant that too.

Back in high school, I participated in a physics olympics event where teams would construct protective containers for an egg to be launched against a wall. The winning entry was simply an egg put in a tub of mayonnaise. Using that scientific principal, my medical opinion would be to inject mayonnaise between the skull and brain of every player before each game. Solved.

Byfuglien already does this.

BTW, my entry won bronze, which was a complex build of an erector set and rubber bands...probably something like what Crosby is wearing now.

James Neal has a concussion, or according to Carlyle, is able to glide around the ice for 10 minutes before calling it a day.
