Adrian Dater: Foligno after the game on the hit: “I actually didn’t know I hit him in the head at all. That’s why I was reacting the way I did when I saw the replay. There was no intent to hit him like that at all. I’m trying to line him up at the time and then he kind of makes that play. It just happened so fast and I felt sick to my stomach when I saw that I hit him in the head. It’s an unfortunate collision, and my main concern is that he’s just alright. I got word from their locker room that he’s feeling alright, so yeah, it just sucks.”
