In last nights game against the Penguins, Kevin Klein lost part of his ear and had to get stitches. He returns to the game and scores the game-winner in Overtime, notching his 6th goal of the season and second game-winner.

There were rumblings after the game that the goal was going to be credited to Dominic Moore, but I don't know if that actually happened.

On a side note, the guy has been rock solid defensively and is now putting up points (leads the defenseman in goals/points).

It's amazing that he was acquired for Michael Del Zotto and his cap hit is less than 3 million a season

He can thank Fleury for that one. Awful, awful goal.

I wanted him on Toronto so badly.

Hockey players are awesome.

Guy's a machine. Sure do miss him on the Preds......

It was a lucky goal and a lucky OT win for the Rangers who were outplayed by the B-Penguins squad in that one.

That said, Kevin Klein is a warrior and a very solid underrated player, too. He is hitting a net with his shots a lot and the good things are happening. Good for him. MDZ for Klein trade was a clear win for the Rangers.

Sorry, when you have Crosby and Malkin out there on the ice, you aren't facing a B-squad team.

I think he meant outplayed in the game in general, not specifically the OT.

I thought they ended up crediting the OT goal to Dominic Moore, did they change it back to Klein? Also, I didn't realize his ear came off on that high stick. Gross.

 

[The Cheat]

ESPN talked about this for 30 seconds and then switched over to talk about LeBron James and what he wore to practice

Our B-Squad beat the Penguins' A-Squad 5-0 earlier this year, so . . .

 

[MaxChart]

Makes no sense to remove the plastic ear protector.

 

[Shrimper]

Yes, you can be.

Although I don't agree that last night was a B-Team. Still a few injuries away from that.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Sorry, when your playing against Crosby and Malkin you can't consider your lineup a B Squad. You just cant. And last I checked, every team has injuires.

 

[TheStroker]

I thought he was great in the Pink Panther movie. Is he the first hollywood star to become an NHL player?

You've gotta love how tough hockey players are.

Awful goal? Did you watch it?

 

[weastern bias]

He's Definitely, Maybe the toughest guy in the league

 

[Guyute]

crosby complained to the refs the entire commercial break before the rangers 4 minute power play. hard to imagine what his argument was considering sill took off part of klein's ear.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Slow claps.........

[robertocarlos]

Did they sew his missing ear part back on? Read it. Glad he didn't get Tysoned.

 

[Buck Aki Berg]

They don't ask how, they ask how many.

I loved Kevin Klein in A Fish Called Wanda.

Woah, today I learned!

I loved Kevin Klein in A Fish Called Wanda.

I'm a big fan of his lines of lingerie and underwear. He offers good fragrances too.
