There seems to be some miscommunication between players and staff regarding more than just medical practices. Everybody’s body is different and require different tools and tuneups in order to stay healthy.

The list goes on forever but here’s some recent cases that keep gaining traction. Jack Eichel and the Buffalo Sabres are STILL in the middle of a battle which is giving everyone a headache. Jonathan Drouin has been dealing with insomnia caused by anxiety which caused him to miss pretty much all of last season. Robin Lehner has always been an advocate for mental health but the most recent account comes on behalf of benzos and dinosaurs.
