Team doctors aren't surgeons. NHL rules say they need an er doc, a primary care doc and an orthopedist. Valimaki needed internal stitches then another surgery to stabilize his jaw. ER doc might have been able to do the stitches. He had to go to the hospital. Just unfortunate the way it all played out.
