I HAVE TALKED TO A COUPLE OF PPL THIS SEASON ABOUT THIS DUDES EYES BEING SUNK IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD. HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS BATTLING A PILL ADDICTION. I REALLY HOPE THIS ISN'T THE CASE, BUT THIS WOULD TURN ALOT OF PPL'S HEADS IF IT IS A OVER DOSE ON PAIN KILLERS.

as sad as it is to think or even speculate, but when you think about a 28 year old player who is in prime physical shape, who has regular check up and physicals who would catch any health issues, one could only imagine it to be overdose and or suicide which is horrible in any way. Judgeing by his last few days from other people im sure you could rule out the later. Sometimes you just never know, Regardless way to young to go. Condolances to his family and friends and past teammates.

...If it is found to be brain related (conclusively, stroke or anurism or anything that could result from trauma) then look out - game on for reformers...

I just got off the phone with Ryan Boogaard, Derek's middle brother.

Twenty minutes ago, Derek Boogaard's mother and father, Joanne and Len, signed papers to donate their oldest son's brain to the Boston University researchers who are studying for brain disease in athletes.

What is PPL? Also, abuse of pain killers is a problem in America in general.
