Kevin Klein loses part of ear, then scores game winner

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Because no other sport has tough players...

To acknowledge how tough on average hockey players are means that players in other sports aren't? Way to jump to conclusions there.

lol u wot m8?

I think he was saying that hockey players in general are tough. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think he mentioned anything about any other players in any other sports.

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.

Id imagine that its cause it was 4 minutes for "high sticking" when Klein was practically on his knees and his face was even with the logo on the front of Sill's jersey.

I get that the rule states that it is a high stick when it goes aboce the shoulders of the opponent but seriously? What if the opponent is sitting on the ice and gets hit in the face? Laying down?

Where is this line drawn?

The line is typically drawn when the player is hit in the face with the stick.


But anyway.. Hockey players are by far the toughest bread of athletes collectively in my mind. I love seeing things like this. Makes me love the game even more.

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

It was a hard slapshot from the point that was slightly deflected, wasn't that lucky. And i'd say the Pens were more lucky to tie it up how they did rather than the Rangers winning the game in OT.

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

wat?

first I read it as "Kevin Klein loses part of gear" then I was like "holy **** it's ear"...

Awful goal? Did you watch it?

Yeah, it was obviously redirected 5 feet in front of the net. Fleury was in perfect position. He was even at the top of his crease to cut the angle. The guy really can never win with some of these fans...

Excellent work, detective.

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.

You sound sour about the loss in the first part of your post. That being said good on Kevin. Takes a warrior to do that
