As we told you in the last few minutes, we have just learned that the Pittsburgh Penguins' excellent defenseman, Kristopher Letang, has suffered a stroke.
On this subject, new information has just surfaced.
Head coach Mike Sullivan made a statement that speaks volumes about Letang's future in the NHL:
"The biggest challenge for me today was keeping him off the ice. He wanted to skate today."

He probably won't be out of the game that long. At least, if these statements are any indication. The general manager adds this:
"Letang was already asking when he could start skating again. He's a tough SOB," Ron Hextall said.
