sioux rube Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 He will be missed by many. Sure he didn't have alot of skill besides being an enforcer but he did do his job the right way. He was never cheap and met his opponent face to face. RIP Boogieman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxforeverbaby Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 So, sad! It sounds like they might not know for several weeks the exact cause of death. RIP Boogaard! You were a treat to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 thats a sad sad deal. those painkillers are a nasty thing to get addicted too! Not sure if you were implying that Boogaard was addicted to said painkiller, but I didn't read anything indicating that in the above article. He was battling concussion problems and may have been taking oxycodone for the headaches for all we know. The Star Tribune is reporting it as an accidental mixture of the painkiller and alcohol. It's an unfortunate deal, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoHawks! Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 This is a time to bring up how dangerous pills and booze can be. Also, mixing medications can be deadly too. I have family members and friends who will take NyQuil, and would also take 2 maximum strength Tylenol, not knowing that Nyquil already contained a hefty dose of acetominophen, which they didn't know was the same as Tylenol or just didn't read the label. I scolded them and told them not to do it again. 1. Don't take drugs with alcohol 2. Look at the labels on your cold meds, etc, and make sure you aren't overdosing 3. Spread the word to your family and friends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
