A great read and thanks to the OP for sharing.

Does the level of care seem...limited? Like, counting on his teammate/roommate to look after him and provide after injury care? maybe I read the article wrong...

BTW, that was a terrible, brutal check, in all the wrong places, in all the wrong zones, with all the wrong actions. the suspension wasn't nearly long enough for me.

the best part of the article is that a full recovery can be expected, but the dangers in hockey can be minimized by reducing stupid checks like this, and that is on the players and coaches.
