Daniel Sedin is in stable condition at a Vancouver hospital after a hit from behind by Flames forward Paul Byron during the last game of the season on Sunday.
Coach John Tortorella told media after the game that the forward is doing better after he was stretchered off the ice, but refused to comment on the hit.

Tortorella did have a few choice words about Flames coach Bob Hartley (which is not really a new topic of discussion).
Torts on Hartley: "It's embarrassing to coach against guy across from me. I don't like the way he does business. I don't like him.''

Asked about Hartley's lineup, Torts called it "Bush league". Then said "I gotta get outta here" before he could say any more. #canucks

As for Byron himself, he was apologetic about the incident when speaking with reporters.
"It wasn't my intention. I just hope he's okay. You never want to see that happen to a guy on the ice." - Byron on D. Sedin #CGYVAN
