Yeah he was out last night -- how do I know this? He accepted my friend request on facebook

Did Cormier have anything else on his mind when he jumped over the boards???

It was like he immediately planned to go after him

With the speed of both players, Cormier is lucky Tan didn't suffer an internal decapitation.

Cormier says he didn't mean to hurt Tam. He says it was a reflex when his elbow went up.

Tam says he didn't realize why he was in the hospital when he woke up there and was really scared. He says he remembers wondering if he'll ever walk again. He says he doesn't remember the elbow.

REMPARTS' TAM BREAKS SILENCE ON CORMIER HIT

While Rouyn-Noranda Huskies' forward Patrice Cormier awaits word on the severity of his suspension, the victim of his brutal hit, Quebec Remparts' defenceman Mikael Tam broke his silence Friday, revealing the details of his struggle since suffering brain trauma and losing several teeth from the vicious collision.

"These last few days have been the hardest moments of my life," Tam said at a press conference in Quebec City.

"When I was in the emergency room and not realizing where I was, or why I was there, I got scared."

As the press and public debate the future in junior hockey for Cormier, the 19-year old Tam is trying to get his life back in order. He flew home to Quebec City from Rouyn-Noranda on Tuesday, but still remains unsure when he will be able to play again.

"Today I am not sure how long I will be away from the game," Tam admitted. "I have suffered a traumatic brain injury, I have lost a few teeth and I feel very tired. With the help of the medical staff, my goal is to return to the ice at some point."
