While Jamie Langenbrunner has not yet skated since arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, Stevenson said his spirits are higher than they've been in some time.

"It's been more frustrating than anything," Stevenson said. "The infection kept coming back. I wasn't taking my time. I had to wait for it to go away."

Stevenson said the infection is gone.

"As far as I'm concerned, it's gone again. But that's what they said after the surgery and it was almost as bad as during the playoffs," he said. "I couldn't believe how quickly it went downhill.

"I feel good. This was the first time I skated with any competition or force. Now I have to get back in good enough shape to compete in a game."

It was actually worse then that if you can believe it. He had an infection in the testicles following surgery. I shudder and cringe just pondering that kind of pain.

That groin area of his has been one big pain in the ass for Turner. If it's not one thing down there it's another.

If articles like these keep getting out in the open, Stevenson will be a huge offensive weapon when he returns. Who would want to touch another guy with a groin infection?

Stevenson parts the zone like Moses did the Red Sea! Stevenson is in all alone...he dekes left...he dekes right...and he flubs the shot! Oh my, what a play! If he can keep up this groin infection and work on his finish in practice, he might score 15 this year!
