Play stupid games…

Pat LaFontaine missed Game Four of the 1984 Wales Conference Final because Billy Smith slashed him across his already-injured ankle in practice.

It’s a hell of a lot better today with these feather-light sticks. Used to be like getting smacked with a cricket bat.

Yikes watching it again, I don't think it was the slash that hurt Glass. The way he fell after Markstrom got him, I wouldn't be shocked if he tore a ligament in his knee.

Should be 2min anyway. I don't care if you injured your own player or no one. Dumbass did it a 2nd time and missed Svech. Clearly the lesson is not learned.

If only there was a competent (non-NHL) ref nearby to see this.........

 

[Zirakzigil]

Feel bad for Glass. What an idiotic move by Markstrom. Not surprised though.

I don't think it was the slash that hurt Glass.

Of course it wasn't. He literally grabbed his right knee. But why did he fell down like that? Looks like brainfarts all around.

Markstrom just wants his team to break the Glass ceiling

Markstrom took "Break Glass in case of emergency" a little too literally there.

This comment won't get the love it deserves

I like how after he realizes he hit his own teammate he goes back for a second swing at svechnikov, and still misses

 

[Johniac]

Svech needs to send Glass a fruit basket for taking that hit for him. I do hope Glass is not too badly injured from whatever that was.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

What a dingdong

Markstrom really makes himself look like an idiot every few months

It started in his WJC days (didn't have eyeballs on him before that) where he was a gold medal contender for the National Olympic Diving team.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

He’ll get him next time.

 

[Xirik]

Flames got hosed on the Monahan deal, but we got Jersey's first and Bahl to UPGRADE in net in Wolf.

Thank you New Jersey.

and you could have gotten more if your GM didn't fumble the ball last seasons trade deadline.

I think we get our news from different propaganda machines.

Markstrom needs to be careful if he wants to keep his ear the next time they're both in the lineup

Noodles McLennan did this to Franzen back in the day.

fun fact... Noodles is still serving this suspension

 

[Son of Nogatco]

Has anyone ever been fined or penalized for an act against their own teammate?

Somewhere, at some lower level, sometime in hockey history, I have to believe that two teammates have squared up and been given 5 each for fighting.. although that would be problematic to have them both in the same penalty box

"I mean, it is pretty clear cut, and obviously, I feel really bad. It is a situation that did not have to happen. It was a heat-of-the-moment play, unfortunately, and I felt bad for (Glass). You don't want to see or be the reason that anyone goes down. Hopefully, it is not as bad."

He swung that stick at Svechnikov...twice...and he "doesn't want to be the reason that anyone goes down"? Would he have said the same thing if he had connected and injured Svech instead?

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Glass left the game after this. We need the ligjhtsabre edit

This is gonna make photoshop thread gold for years to come I can’t wait.

Yeah, this is what I don’t get about these kind of quotes. He’s sorry about the result and friendly fire… not the action itself. Same with Stolarz going crazy on the sens player the other game. If you cross check like a mad man or swing your stick you shouldn’t be surprised if someone gets injured whether it’s the intended target or someone else
