Pothier returned to the Caps lineup recently after a 14-month layoff with post-concussion syndrome. He scored his first goal since December 2007 in the game I went to, the Caps 5-3 win over Tampa Bay. Below is a picture of Pothier I got when the three stars of that game were announced. He was the third star.
From the Washington Post: "Dedication and perseverance," Coach Bruce Boudreau said. "He missed 14 months with his fourth concussion. To be able to come all the way back, through all the pitfalls he's had, I can't find another person more suited for that. He sort of officially came all the way back when he scored a goal and now he's playing regularly on our blue line. That's a tremendous feat."
ESPN the Magazine did a feature on Pothier that is worth the read.
