Video: NHL Follies Often End in Pain

Share

The Flyers are in the middle of a much-needed long stretch of days off, but the NHL news is at hot as it gets today. In the clip below, you can see the two on-ice events that has everyone abuzz. First, Alex Ovechkin goes knee-to-knee with Tim Gleason, giving further ammo to the growing group of detractors that say AO is a dirty (yet obviously talented) player. The hit was careless and stupid on several levels, not the least of which being that Ovie also hurt himself with it. Most believe some league discipline is on the way, or should be, with these incidents becoming less and less "isolated" for Ovechkin.

Then, speaking of careless and stupid... Watch as Keith Ballard winds up and baseball-bat slashes his own goalie in the head (accidentally, kinda), sending him off on a stretcher and to the hospital. Video ATJ.
