Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that center Brandon Sutter suffered a concussion in the Hurricanes’ game on Saturday at the New York Islanders. Sutter, 19, has been discharged from a Long Island hospital and will return to Raleigh where he will be further reviewed by the Hurricanes’ medical staff later this week.
Rutherford also announced that Carolina defenseman Joni Pitkanen suffered a torn meniscus during Saturday’s game. Dr. Marty Isbell will perform surgery this week at Rex Hospital in Raleigh to repair Pitkanen’s knee. Pitkanen, 25, is expected to miss three to four weeks of action.

Everything is fine. There’s nothing to see here. When Hollweg puts someone out with a hit from behind, we’ll be right back at this, but it won’t be fury over nothing.
So kid, keep those eyes up next time. And don’t worry, in 10 years or so, you can be the one catching a Junior player with his head down. Full circle man, full circle…

Thank God, it ain’t a serious neck injury because that whiplash looked awful. I was more worried about him being paralyzed.
