Like him or not, the fact that Derek Dorsett’s even able to play this season, let alone was able to resume his career is pretty remarkable. The extensive surgery he had, and the lengthy rehab period make the start of his season that much more impressive. But the feel good story of the year has taken a dark turn with the news from the Canucks today that Dorsett has been suffering from neck and back stiffness related to his injury that are serious enough to send him back to Vancouver.
So far there’s no word of a call up from the Comets, and it will mean that Brendan Gaunce will slot into Dorsett’s spot.
