Only in hockey could you get a quote like this
yup he skated into it. not he caught a puck up high or was struck in the face with the puck or the puck bounced off of a bad patch of ice. no he SKATED INTO A FLYING PUCK!
Man I love this sport.
A hockey game somehow just isnt complete unless the ice has a slick layer of half-frozen blood 
Man, I really am a true Canadian.
Anaheim’s Steve Rucchin has been out for the better part of the season after having been cross-checked in the back into a slapshot to the face. He’s been suffering from post-concussion syndrome ever since.
Personally, I wouldn’t mind it if more players wore shields (see Bryan Berard).
OTOH, in what other sport do you get to see guys getting sewn up on the bench for a cut over the eye, and then jumping over the boards for their next shift? In baseball, players sit out a game because of a hangnail or a sty.
:rolleyes:
