SAN JOSE – There was a time earlier this fall when San Jose Sharks captain Logan Couture wondered whether his professional career was over at 34 years old.“I can honestly say two months ago, I would wake up and didn’t know if I was ever going to play in the NHL again,” Couture said Tuesday in his first public comments since the start of camp in mid-September. “It’s something that I thought of many, many days.”Couture, out with an unspecified lower-body injury since before training camp, endured two setbacks in his attempted recovery. The most recent one in late October forced him off the ice for about a month after he had started to ramp up his on-ice conditioning and appeared to be nearing a return.“When you’re injured, your mind does some crazy things. There are some crazy thoughts,” Couture said of the mental challenges he faced. “This is my life, and this is what I love to do, and your body doesn’t allow you to do it.”Couture has had to miss significant time before i...
