On Wednesday, after over 50stitches were needed to fix the gash that ran through much of the right side of his face, Miller was itching to get back on the ice, according to t
"I wanted to come back in for the third," he said. "It took a while to get Pat Valaika Jersey stitched up, I was back there for a while, but all the doctors came to the conclusion -- and my wife -- that I probably shouldn't go back out, just for the sake of not ripping the stitches. It was pretty deep, too, in the cheek area, so just let my body rest and not go back out there with whatever emotional drain Tony Wolters Jersey I had from it.
"I would like to play tomorrow. We have to talk to some more doctors and see how my face David Dahl Jersey reacts in the next 24 hours, see if the swelling gets worse."
The Red Wings face the Bruins on Thursday night, and if it were up to Miller, he'd be out on the ice.
There's tough, there's "hockey tough," andthen there is "Drew Miller tough."
