To come back on the ice was hard, and at the same time it was kind of a healing process.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
So it wasn't actually that bad, it took a couple of weeks to sort of get used to uh, you know, standing around and pretending to have ice shoot out of your hand, but once you got used to that it uh, it was actually not that hard.
It was sort of good it happened because it broke the ice with everyone.
Whenever you're coming off a serious injury, it takes time to heal.
Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
The most frustrating thing about injuries is that they take so bloody long to heal.
There have been times when we've been playing, and people who were sick were totally healed.
How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?
My body had given up on me at one point. And as many injuries as I've had over the years, I truly believed that my body needed to rest and not be on the grind like it's been for the last 15 years.
I just thought that it was magical having to glide across the ice.
If I'd have went on the ice when this thing happened, someone would have speared me or something. It's a great feeling of accomplishment and pride. They had to do it; it was their moment.
