Koivu`s sight update.

Saku Koivu was questionned at least on two different occasions this week about the recovery from his eye injury of last season playoffs.

He answered freely yesterday that he can be active very freely in his ordinary everyday life, doesn`t feel pain, but still has a black dot in his sight and some peripherical sight problems. He also said that he wished to be in the lineup for the first game of the season.

Now whether he`ll play or not is probably a coinflip. Bryan Berard plays with basically one eye.

I personnaly think that if Koivu is a leader he`ll play thru this if he doesn`t feel any pain during effort.
