| "They found this up there too." |
The Tampa Bay Lightning disclosed today that Victor Hedman had a successful surgical procedure yesterday morning and is currently resting in preparation for tonight’s game.
The procedure, referred to by team officials as a Head Removal from Ass operation was finished in just over an hour, and Hedman was cleared to fly with the team to Boston. The team was mum on the cause of the operation, but did concede the point that it is a fairly common procedure with little risk and minimal lingering effects.
Teammate Mattias Ohlund had this to say:
“Oh, yeah, that. I’ve had that done several times. I referred Victor to my doctor in fact. He’s a pro. Done it for me, Victor now, Smitty, just about everyone on the team. The only time he’s ever had a failed operation was when Tocchet tried to have it done last year. Still, pretty good success rate.”
The Bruins were aware of the procedure but remained largely indifferent, with only Mark Recchi weighing in:
“Well, obviously I really wanted to help with the operation, seeing as this is dealing with the head, but I got wrapped up in ensuring the NHL that the refs made the right call; that Downie over-emphasized his face bouncing off the glass. As you can tell, everyone is always looking for a doctor. Glad to hear it went well though. Next time.”
Hedman is not expected to miss any time and was not wearing a no-contact jersey during the skate today.
Big goalie headbutt to long time DTV-er Batgirl for the idea for this post. Give her a follow.
