Ballard takes out another goalie

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Well again, Keith Ballard takes out another goaltender. Driving the net in overtime against Colorado, he lost an edge and crashed into Craig Anderson, who laid motionless in his net for several minutes before being assisted off the ice and replaced by Peter Budaj. Completely by accident, but still pretty ironic.

Ya, I was watching the game and Foote just unloaded. It was somewhat bizarre because Ballard was a little shaken up, and not even on his feet yet.

I've never liked Foote, and never will - this helped remind me why.

That's not irony. That's coincidence.

It would be ironic he had spoken out about protecting goalies recently.

Thanks for clearing that up, I'm convinced a lot of people like to use that word but don't know what it actually means.

I feel bad for Ballard, everybody's calling him an idiot but I've seen countless players swing their sticks in frustration after a goal. I think it was a matter of time before somebody messed up badly.

Damn you! I was going to say basically the same thing! At least I found another person who understands the meaning of words!

Agreed. Plus he has the added insult of being forever subjected to reruns of clips of it on crap like "best damn zaniest this or thats" .... Kinda like poor Patrik Stefan.
