NEW YORK -- For players whose season doesn't
end with them competing for the Stanley Cup, they try to get as far
as they can from the game as they can whenever their offseason
starts.
Calgary Flames forward Christopher Higgins says generally he's the
same way. But since he missed the last month of the regular season
with an ankle injury, he feels a little different.
"I had that mentality in the past where I wouldn't watch a lot of
games once I got knocked out," he told NHL.com on a visit to the
League's Manhattan headquarters Thursday. "But being hurt at the
end of the year this year, I wanted to keep playing so much, I've
got to watch the games now because I missed hockey so much."
