Yeah they're both different injuries than this. Peake's story is just sad. Hopefully they've come far enough so this doesn't change Joni's life permanently.
Pitkanen gave some comments about his situation and the future for a Finnish newspaper yesterday:
- The foot is getting better but the rehab is still going on.
- He's doing everything he can to be able to get back but notes that it may be possible that he'll never play again.
- There's no prognosis or timetable for the rehabilitation. He's just taking it a day at a time.
- He hasn't skated since the injury but has been able to run and bike a little.
- He has followed ice hockey only on television as it's hard for him to watch.
I think that interview should put to rest most speculation that he could be ready by next season.
I really feel for the guy, hopefully he can recover and come back to the NHL one day.
