GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted February 8, 2011 It happens. I'm sure you do, so that you will not be deprived of a subject of complaint! For someone that ******* NON-STOP about others complaining, you sure do a ton of frickin complaining about other people. Every post I read from you is a ***** fest about something another poster said. Aussie is one of the most knowledgable people here on Red Wings prospects and there's nothing wrong with following Ritola and wanting him to succeed still. Too bad we can't ship you away to another team's board. Everyone would love that move. 7 Vladifan, Detroit \# 1 Fan, stevkrause and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Crymson Report post Posted February 8, 2011 Aussie is one of the most knowledgable people here on Red Wings prospects and there's nothing wrong with following Ritola and wanting him to succeed still. Too bad we can't ship you away to another team's board. Everyone would love that move. He's also a Ritola slappy who went nuts and started vehemently disparaging Holland when Ritola scored a goal and an assist at the start of the season. Now he gets defensive whenever anyone brings it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LidstromIsASuperhero 29 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 Not to mention Greg Johnson had to retire of a heart condition right after we signed him a couple of years ago. i remember kozlov got his career a little sidetracked by a serious bus accident before he came over here to play years ago.

TheDetroitRedWings 286 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 I definitely feel for him. As I found out I also might have the same disease. I severely injured my jaw November 2009 and as a result, I have ringing in my left ear that is sometimes deafeningly loud. It's not for sure Meniere's Disease, but it's possible that's what I have developed. Luckily, I have no dizzyness or hearing loss. But the constant ringing is sometimes very soul crushing. And lost my health insurance 2 weeks before this all started, so I've had to live with this for over a year now. But as of March 1st my new health insurance kicks in. So hopefully I can get surgery to correct this. Part of me actually hopes I do have Meniere's Disease, because its a disease that burns out and goes away over time. I just don't wanna have to live with this for the rest of my life. Hopefully Ritola gets over this soon. I'm sure he will eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Playing professionally over in Croatia, Rivers was forced to undergo emergency surgery to have his spleen removed. Due to the large amount of internal bleeding, Rivers heart actually stopped for nearly two minutes before being brought back to life. Electrical defibrillator’s assisted in the Doctor’s effort to re-establish a productive heart rhythm. There were three Doctors working on Rivers during surgery and at one point two of them had given up. Thankfully one of the Surgeons didn’t stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travis 576 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 Don't forget Igor Grigorenko. He went from World Junior scoring champ to fighting for his life to learning how to skate again all the way to bust. From today's 'Afternoon Shift' Griffins blog: "The enigmatic Igor Grigorenko (2007-08) appears to have found the stardom that he couldn’t achieve in North America, standing fifth in the KHL with 23 goals for Salavat Yulaev Ufa."

Glad to see he's doing well after his injury. Really bummed about Ritola, he is such a character guy. I wish him the best.
