Ondřej Kaše from Toronto is in trouble. After successfully restarting his NHL hockey career, he was diagnosed with another concussion. He doesn’t even know how many he went through.
“One clash could result in the end of his career,” the server wrote about Kašem in early March The Athletic.
Shortly afterwards, on March 19, the Czech striker got Nashville on the ice elbow to face from a passing Matt Duchene. He did not finish the match before which he held a series of three matches with a scored goal.
He later headed for a list of long-injured players. Now the Maple Leafs have confirmed that Mash has suffered a concussion. It is not clear if he will still play in the current season.
Before the injury, Kaše shone. He collected 27 points (14 + 13) in 50 clans. He succeeded both alongside the stars in elite formations and in his black work next to the Czech center of David Kämpf. He is fourth among the Toronto attackers and sixth in the goals per match.
He left for Toronto last summer after playing just three games for Boston last year due to lingering problems after the concussions. He had to settle for more than twice as much a salary as he was used to. He signed an annual contract for $ 1.25 million.
After gaining the favor of the strict Toronto media, he is now in trouble again.
He himself is not sure how many concussions he has already suffered, probably more than ten. “I know it was very frustrating for him,” said Dallas Eakins, who led Kash in Anaheim, in early March. “But I would add with one breath that it made him a mentally very strong individual.”
It was Anaheim who brought Kash to North America. In the 2014 draft, he chose him in the seventh round.
David Kaše’s older brother started his first season overseas at the age of 19. He first had to show up at Anaheim Farm in San Diego. There was a problem in the third match. He got the porridge in his face with his opponent’s elbow and underwent his first concussion. Until then, he had no trouble with the tricky type of injury.
Later, more and more tremors increased, also due to the winger’s energetic and unyielding play.
In total, Kaše played 333 matches overseas, about 200 missed, mainly due to concussions. So it was missing in about 40 percent of cases.
“I was scared,” Kash described before the last shock, how he felt during the forced breaks. “Will I play hockey again? Will I be ready for the next season? Will I live normally? Similar questions I asked myself. You don’t want to wake up every day with a headache and feel depressed overall.”
Despite frequent health problems, Kaše earned a three-year contract in Anaheim with an annual weight of $ 2.6 million. He is now halfway through Toronto and does not know what the season will be like. A question mark hangs over the career of a 26-year-old Czech again.
