Vokoun Takes a Stick to the Head

A bout of frustration turns into a bit of a scary incident, as Keith Ballard of the Panthers attempts to break his stick on the net in a full two-handed swing, but accidentally catches his goalie, Tomas Vokoun, in the side of the mask. Vokoun was taken off in a stretcher and taken to hospital, but was only treated that way for precaution and only was treated for a laceration around his left ear. A very scary incident, but its still unclear as to how long Vokoun will be out of the line-up and whether or not he suffered a concussion on the play.



ImplicationsWell, it will be a little bit before we know the full extent of the injury to Vokoun, which has likely unsettled Chris, who can't catch a break in this Draft year.

In the Sheet pool, no one is really holding their breath for Vokoun, as such, but a couple of teams are waiting to for the sake of having Scott Clemmensen on their team.
