AK-1 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 geeeeez. Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Florida Panthers goaltender Tomas Vokoun was taken off the ice on a stretcher after suffering an apparent head injury in a freak incident in the team's game against Atlanta on Monday. After Ilya Kovalchuk scored to put the Thrashers ahead 2-1 8:54 into the first period, Panthers defenseman Keith Ballard inexplicably swung his stick in frustration and hit the netminder across the head. Medical personnel quickly came out to attend to Vokoun, who laid on the ice for several minutes before being taken off the ice on a stretcher. http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=300597 YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMvneYMZiMQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telly_39_s_1 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I hope the Panthers give him a little timeout to think about what he's done. That's just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA_Champion Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I think former Montreal Expos Brad Fullmer injured another play that way - with a baseball bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gracie12 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 That's just like when Halak was hit by his national teammate. Thats just what I was thinking Don't know about it, what happened? When was that? In internation play (the worlds I believe). Slovakia was being demolished & Halak just stepped in to allow the 8th goal. In this case, it really looked intentional (as the defensman was swinging the opposite direction from the net!!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0emzMJ6FiwQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottGomez Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Wow. I hope that sums up every time a player has slashed a goalie from his own team in professional hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was trying to hit the net and Halak's head kinda got in the way. He looked kind of surprised when he hit him. But still... I mean, he didn't even check if he was OK.

RSD Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 how stupid can you be? ask ovechkin the same thing...the guy goes for a knee on knee on gleason tonight and ends up injuring himself...he better get suspended he is allowed to this crap way too often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strollerhnjhjjhjkind Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I don't know if it was a accident, but for the Halak thing, clearly NOT. It makes me really mad to see things like that. The guy shouldn't have the right to play with this team anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK-1 Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 The rare text-based facepalm makes an appearance! only for special occasions does it come out. and this incident is worthy. I am absolutely dumb-founded. Ballard, after hitting Vokoun, hits the post again and then wanders off to the bench as if nothing had happened... wow.

MTL-91 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 To bad Bettman was not in nets. I would of given that guy the first star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrhea Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Next time he should swing the stick over his own head lol. But seriously, a lesson to all players, if you're pissed, stay away from the goalie or other players lol. on this same subject, I think Price should be protecting himself a bit better, by wearing a neck guard. He has received many sticks to the neck although they were all by mistake during the play. I don't think we can afford to lose him over something like that.

jagh55 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I don't know if it was a accident, but for the Halak thing, clearly NOT. I think the guy was trying to hit the bar and hit Halak's head instead. IMO, it was an accident. Plus, you can clearly see that he looked surprised after the hit. Obviously, this guy has some anger issues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmash Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 how stupid can you be? ask ovechkin the same thing...the guy goes for a knee on knee on gleason tonight and ends up injuring himself...he better get suspended he is allowed to this crap way too often 2 of the past 3 games he's gotten kicked out. Fortunately for the NHL, they have a convenient excuse: Ovechkin got injured on the play, so a good reason not to suspend him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
