Goat of the Week: Matt Stajan
In the Christmas spirit we didn't do a GOTW last week (or is it cause I forgot? hmmm) but now that I'm back in my office, and dying of work, I'm doin it now.
Matt Stajan + eye injury with a soccer ball = Goat of the Week.
Really? I mean, there is a precedent for soccer being played in the hallways of NHL arenas, see Afinogenov, Maxim playoffs in 2006 (at least it was one of those years the Sabres were really good, he cracked his head off the floor and was a scratch). Those damn europeans have been doin it for years. Effing Pavel Bure starts all kinds of shit.
But here we have an egregious display of idiocy by the Leafs leading scorer. He's got what doctors call hyphema, hockey teams call it an upper body injury, we call it a black eye.
Some 4th liner said this.
"We were in a small room, so maybe the guys thought there would be a pinball effect, if [the ball] was kicked off a bench it might stay in air a bit longer," Mitchell said. "It got a little bit out of hand and it's unfortunate."
Idiots. I've been in the Kettler Ice Complex down here in Washington where the "accident" happened. That place is tiny. It's a couple rinks, a Caps store, all the basic local hockey rink stuff, except this one is 5 stories in the air on top of a mall. I'd rather warm up with $2.00 worth of Area 51 (that shit is classic) than gettin my eye knocked out by Alex Ponikarovsky.
I hope I can find a picture of Stajan's gross looking eye, if I can't, well then I'm just gonna photoshop it for effect (while humping a goat). Matt Stajan = Goat of the Week.
[Yeah, I know this is a weak one, but who nothing has gone wrong yet, plus I gotta write something]
