Panther Player Almost Decapitates Own Goalie

Hockey again, but this one is just too crazy to miss. Last night the Florida Panthers, in the midst of a four game losing streak, played the Atlanta Thrashers. In the first period Thrasher star Ilya Kovalchuk scored a goal on Florida goalie Tomas Vokoun. Florida defenseman Keith Ballard, obviously frustrated decided to smash his stick against the iron goal post, not an uncommon act by hockey players. Only he missed the goal post. And hit his own teammate, Vokoun square on the head. Vokoun crumpled to the ice and was stretchered off. He was taken to a local hospital and only has an ear laceration, but it could have been a lot worse. Talk about friendly fire. Think the Panthers might talk to Ballard about anger management?

You have to see it to believe it:



See Wile E., at least its not your friends beating you up!
