I was excited for him that he gets a chance to step in and have an opportunity right now.
It's hard news for Ed and his family and for us. On the other hand I'm sure he's relieved he can take some action now and have some timetable to get back and play for us.
We all recognized he had to get past the incident. He made a mistake and paid a price - a very high price - and he's trying to move on. Our organization and the majority of our game have moved on.
Let's go one step at a time. We'll see how the procedure goes Wednesday. Hopefully he'll be back.
All you can focus on right now is win every game. You just prepare every game like a Game 7.
