This was a season that Michael Bournival will quickly want to forget, as the dreaded spectre of ongoing concussion issues, first sustained last season, continued to haunt Bournival into this season.
On July 14th he signed a one-year, two-way extension with the Montreal Canadiens on the heels of a season that ended early as a result of a concussion, which was made worse by the failure to treat it immediately.
Bournival would suffer from vertigo and dizzy spells, all consistent with post-concussion symptoms, but fearing losing his spot in the Habs line-up, he failed to report the condition.
