Who Said It?

"The first break, I remember (team doctor) Doug Kinnear on the ice beside me. My skate was lying on the ice the wrong way, and I said to him, 'Don't touch me. I know it's broken.'

"The second time I broke it, well, that was nothing," he said with a shrug. "It wasn't displaced, it broke under the two pins they'd put in me the first time. But the first break was the worst experience of my life. People said that my career was finished, that I'd never come back. But I did. After the second break, I played another 11 years."

Who is this former NHL player and HHOF member?
