So,he's saying he got a concussion and was totally out of it when he swung his stick? Interesting.

What you saw Thursday is not the person, player and competitor that I am. I know my teammates and opponents over my 14 years in the NHL understand that.
I do not remember much about Thursday's incident. When I saw the tape on Friday morning, it explained a lot to me when I saw the look on my face after being hit into the boards. I was completely out of it. When I met with the media about 30 minutes later, I still was not feeling well.
I met with our medical staff briefly Thursday night and underwent a series of tests on Friday afternoon. They have told me that I suffered a concussion when I hit the boards. Because I was not cleared by our doctors to travel, I would like to thank Colin Campbell for traveling to New York for today's hearing.
I need to make clear that this is not justification for the danger I put Ryan Hollweg in and the damage I have caused the game. I understand disciplinary action will be taken.

Shaddy ass. They should have a league doctor verify he has a "concussion" either way how that would lead him to an axe chop across another player is hilarious.

Translation....

"Oooops, i F'ed up... PLEASE let me play in the playoffs"

Either way he's going to hell.

To me, he should avoid hell because of the person he hit. It was more of a public service.

Nope he lied and didn't respect the love thy neighbor (regardless of flaws) ish.

BtownJay · March 12th, 2007, 01:37 PM

Well I forgive him at least. Once his "concussion" is better, i'd like to buy him a beer, and tell him good job!

But if he did that to a questionable flyer you'd think much differently.

Doesn't matter which team the player is on.... as long as he's a POS like Hollweg, i'm okay with it.
