Eric Cole surprised everyone by playing on Saturday. From everything I heard he was told he couldn't play but he never gave up and continued his rehab and was cleared to play. I though the might have provided a bit more of a lift for Carolina.
Here's some good video of him yesterday talking about his return:
He's crazy! I can understand the emotion but he should have rehabbed for the summer and come back in the fall. This isn't a knee injury we're talking about, it could be his life!
Erik Cole should win the Bill Masterton award that award is for the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.
