- How this is huge news, we have no idea. But when we first heard about Taylor Hall getting cut on the forehead with a skate we were like "Oh really? What an idiot."
Here's video evidence
What a clusterfuck of players.
Then we heard that he had 30 stitches. And it was above the eye. Man, that's serious. And we felt bad for making fun of his pony-ish ways.
And now there's people saying that players need to wear helmets as soon as they hit the ice no matter when or why they're on it.
Our opinion (in case anyone cares) is this: Okay, freak accidents happen but that doesn't mean we have to blow up the system to fix a little bug. Slow your roll, pundits.
Other news that caught our eye:
- Just when the Wild were becoming something that the NHL talking heads too notice of, Mikko Koivu gets injured. He will be out for a month with a shoulder injury. That means no All-Star game which seriously blows. We're super disappointed.
- Nick Lidstrom will be up next on 'NHL 36'. We can't complain except you know it will be filled with his perfection and therefore a boring half hour. Doesn't matter, you know we will still watch it.
- Blake Wheeler was hit in the throat by a puck a Devils forward. Sounds brutal. He missed the Jets' game on Monday and could be out longer.
- More injury news: Mike Green had to have abdominal surgery and could be out longer than expected. Not good news at all.
- Ryan Suter was injured in the Predators game against the New York Islanders and did not play against the Rangers tonight. It is being called an 'upper-body injury' and the Predators do not need him to be out right now.
- The Florida Panthers will be without Ed Jovanovski for two months after sustaining a hand injury and having to undergo surgery to correct it.
- The captains for the All Star teams have been named and neither are really a surprise. Daniel Alfredsson from the Senators and Zdeno Chara from the Bruins.

Kelly Hrudey is a fricking swami I tell you people. HE CALLED THIS SHIT WITH HORSEFACE MONTHS AGO. He basically chewed out PJ Stock for thinking it was funny that Horseface keeps flopping around on the ice like a Rottweiler in an efficiency and then "popping back up" when he may or may not be injured, etc. Hrudey straight out said it was not at all funny and in fact, it would only be a matter of time before he hurt himself and/or others.
Now here we are. It's crazy fortunate he didn't take out two of his teammates. But it doesn't erase the fact that he HAS NO HOCKEY SENSE. This is why most 18-year old players spend a little time in the minors before they get starring roles in the bigs. They're not mature enough to handle the NHL. Or else they just need to develop some fricking smarts out there for crying out loud. I'm not saying he's not talented and that he's not a good player: We know this already. But he's STUPID and needs to grow up a LOT. And to be fair, look at Jordan Eberle and the Nuge. Eberle has never flopped around and thrust himself into plays. The Nuge is younger and it would never OCCUR to him to be so reckless out there on the ice. Maybe it's because he's considered a smaller player and has always been extra-mindful out there.
I agree that guys should wear helmets all the time simply because of IDIOTS LIKE THIS who keep getting drafted first. I hope the idiot gets better soon, but I also hope he has a nasty scar to remind him of what an IDIOT he is.
It's always interesting to see who they pick as ASG stand-ins when guys go down with injuries. Maybe Carrot Top and Del Zitto will make the trip after all.
Why do all my defensemen go to shit on my fantasy team the minute I get them? Am I Typhoid Michelle or something? SUTER INJURED?!

@MouthGuard - right on. He's an overgrown child and did the hockey equivalent of messing with the family dog. You might not get hurt each time, but one day, the dog's gonna get you!
Here's Mike Myers as Taylor Hall, from long before Hall was even born except he actually thought Hall would be wearing a helmet.
@Michelle: I'm feeling ya, woman. He must heal in time for the ASG, or that porn spread will have been all for naught...
The Taylor Hall story made TMZ. Good gravy. And yes they are idiots and called it the worst hockey injury ever (I think they said "gnarly.") Um no. It's not the worst hockey injury ever. But feel free to promote Taylor Hall so the little girls will leave Jeff Skinner alone. They need a new teen idol. (EWWWW).
@MG:
Preach, friend. We remember Hrudey's rant. Seems like everyone's getting injured in weird accidents and stuff.
Also, that Mike Myers skit is probably one of the funniest things from old SNL. Thanks for finding the video because you know we will use it.
