Matt Martin hit on Keith Ballard.. DIRTY

Actually you don't see in the video but a couple went after him right after the hit. Also his next shift they went after him and got into a fight...

LOL. Then nevermind. They overreacted.

Yeah but they were on the ice and probably didn't even see it happen, just that Ballard was hurt. Players don't usually see the hit and react to their guy being injured. Brodziak did go after him later so maybe he saw something or he just wanted vengeance either way.

Clean hit. Ballard put himself in bad position...

Ballard may need surgery, but, docs need to wait a few days for the swelling to subside.

That sucks.

Glad he's okay, but that's still rough.

Judging from the replays, it looked like Ballard could have skated past center ice without even taking a hit if he was moving his legs. Tough break.

Ballard has put a few people out over his career ... Perry as of late. What goes around comes around, I guess.

[DickieDunn 2,571]

Ballard needed to man up and take the hit instead of trying to avoid it. Not dirty at all.

[matt198913 932]

Bad result. I don't see that as dirty. Thats where as Mick would say get your stick up to protect yourself.
