There's nothing you can really do to expedite the healing process. It takes time to heal, and it takes time to build the strength up. It's something he hasn't had before. I don't know if we've had an injury like that.

I think we still don't know for sure where he's at physically. We know he's not ready to come back yet. [We don't know] whether he will be before the end of the season. But we're getting to a point where he's going to have to start playing to get ready to play for the rest of the year. I don't know. It's really hard to determine at this point.

I don't think it's a coin flip.

That's past history. He had the surgery. It's over with. All we can hope for now is a speedy recovery, and just go forward.

It was a very numbing affect to sit and watch what was taking place, ... It's just total disbelief what happened.

It's allowed us to take our time in getting these guys back. We don't have to rush.

We can go forward like last night and play a nice clean game and hopefully, all this stuff is behind us.

I can say that they thought it was successful surgery, and we expect his rehab should be good. Now, we'll see what it's like in January, but right now everything is pretty optimistic.
