    As much as I hate CSEC, you have to applaud the way they look after the players’ mental health.

    Hope he gets the help he needs and feels better soon.

    I’m tempted to make a snarky comment about the 2018 WJC but honestly I’m just really proud of how the Flames commit to taking care of their people. I do genuinely hope Dube is able to get his head on straight. He’s a talented player.

  3. Lisa_lou_hoo

    I appreciate that the sub will be respectful of him too.
    Get better soon, DD.

    Damn that sucks. Dube has been one of my favorites to watch the past few years.

    Mental health comes first and the Flames have always done a great job helping their players. Kylington spoke highly of the Flames and the support they provided him during his leave of absence

    As for the WJC allegations, I firmly believe that Dube was not involved in the scandal, and [he cooperated fully with the London Police Service investigation in 2018.](https://ottawa.citynews.ca/2022/09/24/flames-dube-cooperating-any-way-possible-with-2018-hockey-canada-investigations-5865344/) We have seen other examples, like Alex Formenton, who made no statements regarding the scandal, failed to reach a contract agreement with Ottawa for no clear reason, and is now playing for HC Ambrì-Piotta in Switzerland.

    that’s heavy and probably why he has fallen so far off. Hope he can use the opportunity to heal, we look forward to a healthy dubes return!!!!

    Seems like a timely reminder that players are humans too and it’s almost impossible to stay off social media altogether, so it’s very hard for these guys to ignore the hate and toxicity.

  8. backchecklund

    Welp, now I feel kinda bad for shitting on him so much. Get well soon Dubs

    Players wanting to leave, players asking for trades, players losing their minds and just, straight up leaving.
    Seems like something’s gotta change! 🧐

  10. TurnCalmTheVolume

    So are the flames really proactive about getting help for players or is the team a toxic place?

  11. Dull-Economics-5229

    I wonder what would happen if I told my boss I’m not coming in for a couple months because of my mental health? Would I still have a job? Would I still get paid?

  12. FromSuckToBlow

    Damn, I hope he is able to tackle what is ailing him and come back to form. Must be pretty troubling to take a leave, poor guy.

  13. Comfortable-Ad-7158

    As someone who struggles with my own mental health issues. And As difficult as it may be for him and kyli..

    This is huge for men’s mental health. Largely ignored and stigmatized, kids seeing “big and strong” hockey players admit they’re dealing with mental health issues is huge to help end the stigmatization.

    No matter what lies between our legs, in our hearts we are still human beings. Hope you truly start tackling those demons dube. It’s not an easy battle.

  14. What happened with him? I havent paid much attention this season to the Flames

  15. BidwellGetDown

    I hope this gives every fucking hypocrite on Twitter (and here) that talked out of one side of their mouth about their “support” of Kylington and the other incessantly shitting on players like Dube, or Lewis and Lucic last year, a moment of pause.

  16. FinkBass420

    That fucking sucks, I’ve always liked Dube. Hopefully he can get his life on track and come back if/when he feels better

  17. Paulhockey77

    Clearly his season was affecting him. I’m never for personal attacks against a guy. Wish him well

  18. elcapitainesports

    I hope he gets back to where he’s best! After last season I think we all know what he’s capable of.

    Even minor things that involve courts and lawyers are stressful, let alone something of this magnitude
