In anticipation of Saturday’s home game against Chicago, which marks the return of Steve Sullivan to the Nashville Predators, Dan Rosen of NHL.com provides the story behind the comeback that most thought would never happen. After two back surgeries and months of rehabilitation, last summer the consensus opinion held that Sully was done as an NHL player. But then there was a change in strategy…
Sullivan decided to stop going to his rehab facility and instead started going to the rink. He wanted to be around his teammates, work out in the Predators’ gym and “just be a Nashville Predator again, not the guy the boys see in the suit after games.
“I wanted to do everything possible to being a hockey player again.”
But [coach Barry] Trotz informed Sullivan he would be doing it all under the Predators’ watchful eye.
“I’m going to ask our strength coach to push you harder than you ever have been pushed,” Trotz said he told Sullivan. “And, when you think you are coming around I’m going to ask him to push you harder.”
Read on for a great piece that sets the table for an exciting time tomorrow night at the Sommet Center.
