“He was in good spirits when I spoke to him this morning. You could see that there was a little bit of panic when he was coming off the ice. He knew that it was a serious injury and hopefully things will work out.”
“I'm calling him to ask about what's happening with his eye and has he had the tests and he's asking me about the game. That's just the type of guy he is. We're concerned about his health and he's concerned about what happened in our game.”
“He's in good spirits, but there haven't been enough tests yet to speculate whether he's happy or not. It doesn't mean anything good or bad - he was just happy to talk to a friend. He's not a doctor, so we have to wait for the doctors to do more tests, and that's going to take time.”
“I think it was an accidental play. That happens a lot in this league. It's happened to me personally this year where I got clipped pretty much in the same spot, and if it would have been an inch closer, I would have had the same injury. It makes you think, but unfortunately that is part of the game. You just don't want to see that stuff happen.”
