Ziggy Stardust 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Tollefsen hit the Slovakian player with his elbow, which then appeared to be knocked out. Spun around, lost his helmet and fell down on the back of his head. It's was hard to see if the elbow was intentional or not, but it was real ugly anyway. Trust me, you don't wanna see that. I can't get the guy lying on the ice, bleeding from the back of his head out of my mind. :/ Really hope he's ok. Update: He's ok! They say he's suffering from a memoryloss but otherwise ok. Great to hear, it was a weird mood in the ice and amongst the crowd in the 1st period. Looked really ugly. Edited February 24, 2010 by Ziggy Stardust Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of blood doesn't help how it looks either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ziggy Stardust 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2010 They all rushed to tollefsen but stopped when they saw that Bartecko wasnt getting up. Still haven't watched it in replay, so I dont know how bad the hit actually was. Someone commented on the article "Just to beat in all the mouthbreathers: Clean hit. Shouldn't have been a penalty. Should have kept his head up." Can anyome confirm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted February 24, 2010 if it doesnt work im sorry it worked when i watched it Worked fine for me. It really looked unintentional to me, even though it was kinda disturbing. Not to sound crass (OK, well kind of to sound crass), but that's hockey. You don't like it, but you kind of expect it to happen sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king_malice 17 Report post Posted February 24, 2010 if you watch it in slow motion you can see the elbow right to the head looks like it might be intentional, in my opinion looks like OKT is about to miss the hit and lifts his elbow a bit, could just be natrual reaction could be intentional only OKT knows. either way one of the worst hits ive ever seen. makes kronners hit on havlat looks like a love tap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
