Vokoun suffers bizarre injury by teammate’s hand

Just when you think you’ve seen everything in hockey, here comes Florida Panthers defenseman Keith Ballard who slams his stick inadvertently into his goalie, Tomas Vokoun, out of frustration after Atlanta’s Ilya Kovalchuk scores a goal.

An incredibly unfortunate accident or an incredibly stupid act? Or is it both? Either way, Ballard’s bizarre reaction to Kovalchuk’s goal might want to make you think twice about the way you take out your anger on the ice. Or anywhere.

(Update: Vokoun suffered a cut on his left ear but was alert when taken off on a stretcher to St. Joseph Hospital in Atlanta. The veteran goalie was expected to be released and fly back to Fort Lauderdale on the team charter).
