    Default Simon Despres - Career Over?

    "The Despres situation is one that's a very sensitive issue and it's one that my whole goal is to hopefully make it so Simon in the end of all this lives a happy, healthy, normal life and it's going to take some time before we get to that point," Murray said, according to Yahoo's Joshua Cooper. "Really that's all I want to say on this time on that because it is sensitive and I feel real bad for Simon."

    Tough Stuff. This doesn't sound like a guy trying to work back for his career, this just sounds like a guy trying to get back to normal life.

    He left game 1 after 2 periods after telling the coaching/medical staff he didn’t feel good I do believe? Concussion symptoms right?

    Pure speculation on my part but it sounds a lot like a Chris Pronger type situation which is really sad.
