[Devils-list] Gritty, Gutty, and Just Plain Awesome

[Devs Rule]

combine it with his earlier comments in the papers and I don't like it,
but you can interpret it however you like.  As far as it NOT being a
concussion, Arnott has all but declared that it was.  If the team
doctor declares it a concussion, then the NHL would require him to pass
the baseline testing (I think that's the term - comparing readings
taken preseason to readings now) and the NHL guidelines would force him
to miss the rest of the series so I can understand the Devils not
wanting to use that word, but not risking his future.  He got nauseous
on the plane, he got nauseous after skating this morning - he has a
concussion whether you call it that or not and shouldn't risk it.
