OT: Does it seem like there have been more eye injuries this year than most?
Quote:
Maple Leafs forward Owen Nolan injured his left eye in Toronto's 3-3 tie Saturday night with the Buffalo Sabres.
Nolan didn't return after Buffalo's Jay McKee high-sticked him in the face early in the first period. Nolan dropped to the ice and kicked his skates.
"Apparently, there was blunt trauma to the eye as well as to the cut," said Toronto coach Pat Quinn, who said Nolan was having flashes. "There's no reason to believe that it is real bad, except that he's not seeing things well right now. That indicates the eyeball was probably hit."
