Showing his concern

Who says that today's professional athlete isn't concerned about the welfare of fans, even if they are autograph hounds? The Islanders' Richard Park did his bit coming back from Tuesday's morning skate:

Puckhound: Richard, do you have time to sign a puck?

Park: You know, there's a virus going around our team. It's best that I don't sign for you.

Puckhound: Excuse me?

Park: We have a few guys on the team who have a virus. You know, they're sick. They missed the skate this morning.

Puckhound: Really? I haven't heard that one before. That's pretty original.
