Jim McCrossin Quotations

Obviously, it's to protect the player. It's not like the old days when you hold up three fingers and you ask how many fingers you're holding up." ()

Peter has had chronic instability in his right ankle and we just wanted to make sure to get another set of eyes on it to see that things aren't deteriorating too much. We just wanted to make sure we keep it under control so Peter can get over the fear of having anything in his mind when he is skating." ()

I don't think any athlete wants to go there at 90 percent and risk even a greater extent of injury. We're going to bring Peter down to a specialist and hopefully try to figure it all out." ()

He will be out approximately two weeks. We are going to keep him off the ice and he will be re- evaluated again in one week. This is a right groin strain or tear or pull." ()

He has to be symptom-free. No matter what the player wants to do, you can't put him in harm's way." ()

He fell awkwardly into the boards. We pulled him out, he's a little tight in the shoulder. If it's sore tomorrow, we're going to hold him out, we're not going to take any risk with it." ()

He'll be skating in 8 weeks. But everybody is different, and we're looking at between 10 and 12 weeks." ()

When he's staring at you, it's almost like you have a halo behind you." ()

His range of motion is coming back nicely. He still has some muscle spasms up in the cervical area and we will continue to treat him day by day. Keith is progressing nicely at this time." ()

He did, but we didn't want that to happen." ()

The amount of time that Simon is going to be out will be to where he can tolerate being able to go ahead and skate and push off and get the strength back in that one leg. We're looking at no more than two weeks at that point." ()

We discussed it and we're going to exhaust all efforts and try to do it. If it fails, it fails. If it doesn't, it's more power to us." ()

Is there a chance? Obviously there's a chance. You never want to eliminate the chance. But it's a long shot." ()

The symptoms of one mimic the symptoms of the other." ()

He's feeling stronger. He was able to eat, which is a good sign. And he looks a lot better." ()

He sprained his shoulder, and the best-case scenario is that we get him back in a few weeks." ()
