ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Jonas Hiller would rather have a broken arm.
Give him a sprained ankle, or even a nasty case of the flu.
Just about any ailment would be better than vertigo, which has kept the Anaheim Ducks’ Swiss goalie off the ice for all but four periods since he played in his first All-Star game six weeks ago.
At least with a broken leg, Hiller says he would know how long it’ll be until he can play again.
Nobody can explain why Hiller’s incredible reflexes and puck vision suddenly were enveloped by a fog of dizziness and fatigue in early February. Nobody is sure why Hiller feels perfectly normal away from the rink, and nobody can tell him when — or whether — it will go away.
