EDMONTON –
It was 10 days ago at the team’s outdoor practice at Winter Park when Rene Bourque hit a rut in the ice, fell and collided with Tortorella, knocking the coach’s feet out from underneath him and causing him to go down hard. So hard, in fact, that the players felt it on the ice.
“My first thought was ‘oh my god, I hope didn’t hit his head,’” captain Nick Foligno said today.
