Holmgren transcript on Laperriere injury

Below is a transcript of the conference call with Flyers General Manager Paul Holmgren regarding an injury update of Flyers forward Ian Laperriere on Apr. 27, 2010 Q: Paul, any update on Ian Laperriere? “After seeing a couple different doctors both in Philadelphia yesterday and a specialist in Pittsburgh today, we’ve come to the understanding that Ian has a contusion of the brain, mild concussion and right now we’re going to list him as being out indefinitely.” Q: Did the doctor say it’s dangerous to play the rest of the year? “I think this is significant. They saw a little spot there initially and I think they were hoping, like we all were, that it would dissipate a little bit, but after seeing the doctor yesterday and validating it again today – it kind of erased any optimism we had. Right now it’s not safe for Ian to play.” Q: Paul is his vision still blurry today as you indicated yesterday?
