Yeah, Boychuk for sure got clipped with a skate in the neck/throat area. No signs of blood, but he did the classic towel to the throat and off the ice in a hurry thing. Hopefully it's just a surface thing as opposed to being a deep laceration.
I bring up Sid to say his unflinching loyalty, through good times as well as bad, is an anomaly. Everyone demands that players of their favorite teams put all else aside to be like Sid is with the Pens and that's just foolish.
As for living in NYC, I can't stand the city, but when you're making ~$10 million a year, there's not many better places to live. Whatever you want or need is minutes away; world-renowned restaurants, theater, museums, music, art galleries--whatever.
