I think Pekka Rinne had a similar procedure and was able to come back from that. I could be mistaken though.

I missed this last week:

Ex-Ranger Sean Avery Convicted of Ramming Minivan With Scooter

Sean Avery was on the witness stand defending himself Thursday when he said he wasn’t sure he was in the wrong during an encounter that ended with his electric scooter lodged in the minivan of a Manhattan family.

“I’m not a police officer,” said Mr. Avery, a former New York Rangers hockey player. “So I didn’t really know if there was a crime committed. It’s part of being on the streets of New York City.”

But just hours after Mr. Avery finished testifying, a judge clarified the matter: There had been a crime committed, and he was guilty.

So ended the highly unusual case of Mr. Avery, who was convicted of attempted criminal mischief, a low-level misdemeanor that rarely leads to a trial and could have been resolved with a fine of a little more than $1,000 three years ago.

But Mr. Avery, who after leaving the National Hockey League in 2012 moonlighted as a model and a Vogue Magazine intern and is now working as an actor, refused on principle to accept a plea deal proffered by the Manhattan district attorney’s office.

“I was an idiot for saying no,” he said a week before his trial on a podcast that he hosts. But he added that it was a matter of personal values. “I don’t just roll over to the institution,” he said.

Our old friend Bylsma was named head coach for the Coachella Valley Firebirds. Makes sense since CVF will be going up to Seattle next season.

Has there ever been another coach who sank as quickly as Bylsma has?

Bylsma's first year in the NHL, he won a Cup. Then won four playoff series in the next five years (5 for 5 playoff appearances). Was coach of the year in 2011. Went to Buffalo, went 0 for 2 in appearances. Was an assistant in Detroit for three years. I'd say he's actually quite durable and then some. He keeps getting work and he maintained a winning record after the Cup.

Off the top of my head, Claude Ruel coached after Toe Blake retired...Ruel won a Cup in '69, missed the playoffs in '70, and the only other full season he had as an NHL coach was in 1981 - where the Habs lost in the first round. That's a far more precipitous fall as far as coaching goes...

Bylsma is better off than Mike Keenan from '94 on, for instance...

Wasn’t Disco Seattle’s choice for AHL assistant for whoever they used this year?

I noticed it last night at the bar, but man Austin's hair just looks awful. It might be time to go with shorter hair to combat how goofy he looks with long hair and a receding hairline that is almost as far back as his ears.

Remember when Shero was a god and Botteril was actually the brains behind building a team. I do think Shero got a bit of a raw deal in NJ. Botteril though, woof.

This is a bold move, but I like it...
I'm actually not convinced that Gallant nor Brunette should be there...

Sullivan, MacLellan, Brind'Amour, maybe a couple of other guys would be better choices...
Pull your goalie AFTER your top unit is gassed. That's the play
Very unimpressed by Brunette this playoff...I get it's your first time, but he didn't do it for me...

What’s your stance as Maurice as a head coach? I’ve always liked him. You don’t get to 1,700 games as a head coach in the NHL without being good at your job and two franchises kept him around for a long time, but there always just seems to be something missing with his teams that results in postseason underachievement.
