On the surface, that sounds hard enough to deal with, but one Maple Leafs fan in the reply went into further detail on what that feels like, and it sounds excruciating;
Not a question of seeing clearly. More like couldn't see *at all*. With ocular migraines vision disintegrates. You'll look at someone's face & only see a quarter of it. The rest of your vision is filled w/shiny, flashing lights and squiggles. I get this type. They're F'ing awful.
Nylander would fight back and get on the ice however, netting three goals in the final two games of the series, but ultimately it just wasn't enough as the team couldn't score enough to win, and will now head into the summer looking for answers and potential change.
