OTTAWA — For more than a year, Brian Pothier’s life
had literally spun out of control.
On the receiving end of a legal but devastating check from Boston
Bruins forward Milan Lucic in January 2008, Pothier’s career

The Washington Capitals defenceman was immediately sidelined with
a severe concussion and he didn’t dare even put on skates for
11 months. At times, the vertigo became so severe, he
couldn’t push his two boys, Jake and Luke, on a swing because
he became too nauseous.
