Boston Bruins: Former Bruins forward Colby Cave in induced coma

Colby Cave, a current Edmonton Oilers and Bakersfield Condors forward who debuted in the NHL in a Boston Bruins jersey, was rushed to hospital after suffering a brain bleed, underwent surgery and still remains in a critical condition in a medically-induced coma.

It’s scary to think that a 25 year-old in peak physical condition and with access to the best of medical support, whether as a member of an NHL team or even as a member of an AHL team, is essentially fighting for his life right now.

In a world that is already jarred by the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s the last news fans of the Boston Bruins, Edmonton Oilers or indeed hockey fans, in general, want to hear.
