I don't know what happened. I was just going for a hit and he stopped. I didn't even think I got a piece of him. |
I think it?s pretty important for the guys to be going to West Point, but for me, it?s more important not to be missing games and get this taken care of now. |
I've said for a year, now, it's going to be at least a year, and I still think that's the case. No Stanley Cup handed out this year. Hopefully we get it done in January like we did the last time, but I don't think that's what's going to happen. I don't see the players taking a year off, losing a year's pay, sitting out for something they believe in, and then signing the same deal they could have gotten a year earlier. That's not going to happen. |
It definitely affected me the next year, ... But those are things you do when you go a long way. There's repercussions to doing that stuff. |
It?s better to get it done now rather than have take two, three games off at a time, stay injured and then find they have to pull the plug on me in January and I?d miss the playoffs, |
Obviously, I feel bad. I'm not out there trying to hurt any kid. Hopefully he's alright. |
The advances on MRI and CT scans changes things now, ... Guys had these problems 10 years ago and thought it was groin problem. Now they have the MRI and find out that they had a torn labrum the entire time. |
We gave him a pretty easy night. When I look down and he's stretching halfway through the game because he's only seen 11 shots, you know, we made it pretty easy on him. You could have put basically anybody in net and we never really had anything until the third period. |
We'll see how I feel, ... First I have to get into a few practices. I really haven't been practicing that much, I've been skating a lot. I'll need at least [today] and then one more skate, then we'll see. |
