I hope Ortmeyer gets healthy and then comes back. There is no need to jepordize your life playing hockey. This could be a big blow to the Rangers, espeically there PK. But i think his life is more important.

Get healthy Ort, and maybe then will see you on the ice!

I hope Jed Ortmeyer heals as fast as he can. Ortmeyer plays a key role for the Rangers, but his health is more important. I just hope he gets better as soon as possible and misses no time.

Same here, His health is more important then the Team. As long as he is healthy enough where this won't be a re-ocurring problem then he should skate agian
