This is good for the Isles though. He was barely hanging on before the injury and Isles get $6M in desperately needed cap space the next two years.
I suspect Ladd is next.
yup. Hope Boychuk is ok, sounds like he is still having vision issues. Probably for the best all around because he seemed to get hurt on almost every shift in the playoffs - mostly from blocking pucks and taking sticks the head. He wad definitely deserving the warrior label.
when it happened and my first reaction was holy shit he's going to lose his eye. Initially I was surprised the injury wasn't that bad, sounds like it was.

Tough break for a really good D.
Was at the game, w a perfect sight line and saw it happened. There was just a pit in my stomach as he pushed away the trainer, held his eye and ran into the locker room
Excellent teammate who played whatever role the Islanders asked of him. I hope the organization keeps him on in some capacity after he retires. Likely will go on LTIR for the remainder of his contract.

At least he got his name on the Cup with the Bruins in 2011
