Finnish Wing 110 Report post Posted April 23, 2010 I saw that one live. Was kinda shocking at first but then I heard that's like the 10th time or something when he's blocked a shot with his face. Did it hit the nose? Some people said at first that he was covering his eye, so that was kinda scary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NGKEIB 32 Report post Posted April 23, 2010 I would rephrase that - one of those guys you hate when he plays your team, and love the rest of the time. I still think that signing him and Betts were such good moves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted April 23, 2010 I'll bet if that happened in the 1st period, he would've been back later in the game, too. Hockey players are a different breed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaman 713 Report post Posted April 23, 2010 I still hate him, I wouldn't want anyone from the Avs or Blues on the Wings ever. If it makes people feel any better, I would still have him even if he saved a church load of nuns and puppies from a fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
