"Just want to apologize to our organization for embarrassing the Bruins organization. “Also want to apologize to our fans, and also apologize to the Montreal Canadiens organization and to the Canadiens fans. I know they can get under your skin sometimes, but they are great fans. So apologies for my actions. I regret what I did." - - - New York Islanders forward Mikhail Grabovski began feeling concussion symptoms Friday, a day after passing tests, according to Newsday.
