Heward and Ovechkin spoke

 Canadian Press via THN, Mar. 26, 2009 "Leafs defenceman Jamie Heward holding out slim hope of return from concussion":

That occurred in Washington on New Year's Day when Heward's head smacked the glass awkwardly after a hit by Alex Ovechkin.

He was knocked out cold and spent a night in hospital, where he woke up with concerns that he might have suffered some kind of long-term neurological damage.

Even though he was in a vulnerable position when he was hit, Heward holds no grudges against Ovechkin. The former teammates actually spoke about the incident earlier this week when the Capitals were in town.

"It's a physical game, a man's game," said Heward. "I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"The fact that he even acknowledged that he had feelings about it and was emotional about it is enough for me. I know how he feels and what kind of player he is."

The road back to the NHL will still be difficult for Heward.

He's scheduled to undergo a test on Monday that will determine whether he can start practising with his teammates again.

All the best to you, Jamie!
