    Couple of hours?

    A flight to LA from Toronto is at least 5-6 hours, plus the time difference and with certain injuries (i.e. concussions, knees) it is not advisable to travel by plane.

    While you can travel with knee injuries, it's not advisable. Especially spending 10-12 hours in a plane for really no reason.

    True, same goes for back injuries... which Danny has had his problems with.

    Reason I say that is because I've had personal experience with the knee issue - well, not me someone I know.

    The air cabin pressure is actually pretty hard on the body.

    That's why if you have a punctured lung.... you CANNOT fly or you will die.

    Concussions are also a major issue.

    Plus other injuries, etc.

    John you posted this myth busting info too soon in the day. I was looking forward to a whole day of predictions and "ideas" about what happened to Danny.

    In all fairness, Cummins can give whatever reason he wants.....until Dichio says he's not 100% I'll believe that there's more to this than it seems....Dichio has never had a problem admitting he's injured before.....so why not now?....

    If the man is injured, shouldn't he be on the injury list- even if he is 'probable'? I am not saying the team should be posting our player's vulnerabilities needlessly, but they do need to avoid needless 'mysteries'.

    I'm afraid Dichio is done, he will most certainly retire. Hopefully he stays with the club in some faucet such as an assistant coach.

    If hes not going to making any west coast trips for the rest of the season then he isnt a very useful player going forward.

    I don't understand.

    They've already decided he's too "injured" to travel to the Sept 19th game in LA....26 days from now?
    However he's healthy enough to potentially dress for the Sept 12th home game AND healthy enough to participate in training today (as per his twitter)

    Don't mean to be a huge jerk by playing the grammar Nazi, but you probably meant "facet". I'm only mentioning it because a funny image came to me: Dichio as the tallest and biggest water boy (well, water man) in sports with a scowl on his face.

    Please don't take that as insulting or anything, it's just been a long day so far so I'm just sharing something I found funny to improve the day.

    no dude, i'm sure IF he is able to make the trip on the 19th then he will. There's no "master plan" here. He's hurt and couldnt travel...that could easuly be knees, back or head.

    I found that funny, I'm sure he can't be offended.

    Imagine Dichio tossing gatorade bottles at people, and knocking them over!

    Trust me he is not hurt I don't give a rats ass what Cummins said. I have confirmed through my people he is not and it came from Danny
