O’Sullivan quotes

On his injury from taking a puck in the face Saturday …

“I might be able to keep the teeth, so that’s a good thing. They came out when I got hit. During the game, they put them back in. Yesterday they checked to see if the teeth are going to live or if they will need to be pulled. There’s a crack in one of the roots, so that one might die. That’s five teeth in a year, so hopefully it stops.”

“I have to wear that mask, which I’m not thrilled about. The bone is broken up here (pointing above lip and below nose on right side of his face) so that’s the main concern. I’m going to be going (back to the dentist) probably once or twice a week for three-to-four months. It’s part of the process, I guess. The main thing is hopefully the teeth they put back in won’t die.”
