Agent: Giroux doing 'well'

POSTED: Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 5:59 PM

Claude Giroux has been visiting chiropractic neurologist Dr. Ted Carrick in Georgia since Monday, according to his agent, CAA Sports’ Pat Brisson.

Brisson said Giroux is “doing real well” and was hoping to have a full report later on Wednesday night.

Giroux, 24, suffered a neck injury on Nov. 16 in Germany while playing for the Berlin Polar Bears when he was checked in the head. Prior to that, his time in Europe was well spent, collecting 19 points in 9 games for the Polar Bears.

Dr. Carrick, based at the Life University in Marietta, Ga., is best known for treating NHL stars Sidney Crosby, Jonathan Toews and Minnesota forward Guillame Latendresse for their concussions.

At this point, all that has been reported is Giroux has suffered a “neck injury,” though Brisson has not ruled out a concussion.

For more background on Carrick, follow up with our later report here.

More information coming when it is available.

"chiropractic neurologist"?

So he what, puts his knee on your head and twists?

"Brisson said Giroux is “doing real well”. I'm glad to read that.

I'll bet "Dr. Carrick, based at the Life University in Marietta, Ga.," is doing REAL well collecting all those fees. Life University? Do they have a football team?

Allez Claude!

We are not showing up for the first home game no matter what. Season ticket holders only if the money was put upfront. Nobody else. As fans we unite, its no offense to the players or the Owners but we have been treated with disregard. The league has taken advantage of us.

"Season ticket holders only if the money was put upfront."

Ahh, in order to purchase season tickets it is *mandatory* that you pay in advance. Some franchises have installment plans, but you still don't get the ducats until you pay the money.

While I would applaud any and all season ticket holders that relinquished their seats in protest, I doubt that is going to happen in any statistically significant number. And besides, someone, or more likely, some corporation, would snap them up in a New York minute.

While I share your frustration and anger, I'm afraid there is little that fans can do, other than bend over and assume the payment position, and hope the NHL has the common decency to use a little KY-Jelly.

I'm not holding out much hope for the lube. :-(
