Cant help but think about that final hit he took vs Chicago, where he was out



At the time he said:

"My last play. Actually the only time in my career when I was completely out. Ten to 15 seconds. Miserable night, the dome had collapsed, our season had gone from bad to worse. I didn’t have to play in the game, wanted to. I remember telling myself in pregame, “You’re an idiot, what do you stand to gain in this?” But I thought, “I’ll survive this game, I’ll be fine.”[It was] one of the most minor hits I’ve ever [taken]. The guy didn’t even hit me, he pushed me. I threw the ball and the field of course was solid ice, it was like concrete. I hit the left side of my head and the next thing I remember, I was snoring as our trainer was kind of shaking me saying, “Are you OK?” I look at the footage, even though it wasn’t long, there was that 10-15 second period where I was asleep."
