‘”He’s been aggressive,” Granato said of Mittelstadt. “He had surgery and he had a situation where you could rehab and play through it, and obviously, the hope of that didn’t pan out the way it was. He had the surgery and he’s a different level of confidence. He knows he’s fixed, he’s repaired, he’s ready to go. So it’s a whole other level of confidence with respect to, it’s a complete known, I know I’m ready to go, I know it’s fixed, repaired, whatever. And that’s much different than where he was six weeks ago, and he’s going to be better because of it.”‘
