Like how many passionate hockey fans whose favourite team is not TB going to recognize their accomplishment if they win the Cup this year? I won't. Cheating is cheating.

Ok on what basis do you think he could have returned months earlier? What is the expected recovery time for the surgery he had and general ranges? Is there proof his recovery was abnormally long?
