tomas vokoun almost gets killed

[strngrthnplpfctn]

I doubt that he even knew he had injured him so badly until after the fact, because he hits the net a second time after he hits Vokoun and then carelessly skates away. So although it was not intentional, I would take it as a lesson learned: swing your stick elsewhere to vent your frustration, and don't take a goal 9 minutes into a game that seriously. I have seen a goal scored in the last two tenths of a second to break a tie and win. You never know.

[berligame]

wich fucker like this`?

[GrassValleyGreg]

Man I FORGOT about this lmao whoopsidaisy.

[JamesC666]

i would love to know what Bill Mccreary was saying to the guy who did that

[gabbypierce]

damn hope he's ok

[schuerm26]

So what happened to the guy that swung the stick out of anger?

[YwkyWy37]

@schuerm26 he plays for Vancouver now

[bigbluesfan1986]

Hey paul00010whatever, that is what makes Hockey the Sport that it is. These guys know full well what they are getting into. By far, it is the most physical sport of all, maybe besides rugby, but if you take fighting out of hockey, see how many fans really dissapear!!

[MatAround3]

I hope he does that to the whole Ottawa team -.- GO LEAFS GO

[paul000108]

and thats why ice hockey is a fucked up sport so much anger i see in these videos of games should be totally banned and cleaned up that sport not the best veiwing unless ur from those countries that support that crap

[1337D00D3]

@paul000108 youve never seen a baseball player get thrown out of a game; throwing his bad and helmet in anger? pitchers intentionally throw at other players' heads. coaches screaming in the face of umpires? athletes get angry in sports because they don't like to lose. every sport has it, and it's part of every game.

[MrJamesbondfan]

cause that almost killed him?

[filippp3]

he should be an actor not a hockey player...fucking vokoun

[zekkepolsa]

u mean that vokoun didn't get hurt?

[holycheeseboy]

@filippp3 he got hit in the fucking head with a hockey stick. are you fucking kidding me? THE GUY SWUNG HIS STICK AS HARD AS HE COULD. ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED. YOU WOULD BE CRYING LIKE A LITTLE BITCH.

[Joker24Batman]

I wouldn't be surprised if Ballard does that to Luongo.

[Br1anDaBad]

Wouldnt you feel bad if that was game 7 of the semifinals? they just lost the game. i would be mad too. stop being assholes to ballard.

[GreenDayFan295]

Ouch

[ian24000]

Fuck Ballard everyone

[BriBrian240]

He knew he hit him. He looked him dead-on and swung his stick at him with no mercy. He just thought it'd be a joke and that the mask would hit him. I know he meant to him him, but he didn't intend to put his life in danger.

[andmei1000]

@BriBrian240 Ment to hit the post. Anybody with half a brain knows that if you swing a stick at someone like that you will put someones life in danger. He was not thinking that that would be a joke. You are a DUMB ASS.

[codysmith42]

@BriBrian240 you are 100% correct.

[CitroTeam]

electric chair for him

[chimdichekwa]

anger management

[bestthaibb]

why he hit the player in the same team with him ????

[cu6497]

keith ballard has been playing too much hardcore team deathmatch

[gangstarr1122]

pause at 0:38 how the hell is that guys head so shiney

[mustangct1012]

he waked him like a baseball bat

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!

[andmei1000]

@mustangct1012 Do you think that is funny fuck tard.

[dudeyourugly971]

How many retards are there HE DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE, he was mad and he was a douche for breaking his stick, but he had no intents on hitting Vokoun he either didn't realize he hit him when he swung again or did it on purpose so it didn't look like he did do it on purpose

[iTouchHelp100]

are you guys retarded? he is right beside the goalie while he is being tended to...

[LiammDinglebut]

ouch... I agree with andmei1000. you guys are assholes, you don't think thet he was sorry for what he did. too bad that this video was taped with a pop tart you would have seen that ballard was right beside his goaltender. Rude bastards.

[andmei1000]

@LiammDinglebut Finally. Someone who is not an idiot. We realize that he did a dumb thing by wacking the goal post. But there is no way in hell tht he did that on purpose, he did not intentionaly wack his goaltender with a stick trying to cause him to be taken off on a backborad. To those complete fools calling him an asshole. You know nothing and will never know anything.

[Scumbot404]

He never meant to hit his own goalie. It was an accident.

[kylelangen1993]

Lol so thats what happened to Florida that season

[andmei1000]

To all of you pice of SHITS calling this guy an asshole F**k off. This was a complete acident and know one feel worse than him. He even considered retiering. If you think he did that on purpose you are messed up.

[ARAGEDH0B0]

@andmei1000 What the fuck is wrong with you? He hit his own goalie in the goddamn head and hit the post and you didn't consider him an asshole! WATCH THE VIDEO AGAIN DUMBASS

[andmei1000]

@ARAGEDH0B0 You think he did that on purpose. Take another look he did not even know he hit him. I never said it was a smart thing to do. But that acident dose not make him an asshole. Do you think his teamates thought he was an asshole. The awnser is no. You pice of shit

[kuljautus]

@andmei1000 Hard to tell. Maybe he thinks that he hits the pole and did`t see goalie was rising on his feet. So he hits straight to head. But another strike immediately when he noted accident........makes me wonder

[OnThEdGe12]

@andmei1000 actually he did hit him but everything else u said is right

[ackmedhaaackkk]

@andmei1000 Yeah your right you fu@king retard and an jerkhead for that matter.There was no need for him to wack his stick wildly,he is liable for his unnecessary acts,DICKHEAD !

[JohnnyBoyProduction]

asshole of the week

[SkyzDaLimitHaterz]

dick

[TheSecdefchris84]

with teammates like that...

[Abbytheactress98]

Wait? Can someone tell me what happened to him? I totally missed it

[Abbytheactress98]

Bahah! nevermind, I saw it!

[WesClarkeOnline]

Vokoun "almost getting killed" is a complete exaggeration, it was just a hard hit

[zartnaktal]

Kokot Zasranej!

[QCDUQC]

players: change the goalie

coatch - no

- ok ...

[etrexclusive]

and where the fuck was he when everybody else was standing next to vokoun?

[Takeconttroll]

Fuck U nr. 2

[MyEditsAreGodly]

then ballerd was traded...

[A3R0N13]

What a douche. He needs to hold in his frustration.

[jeans604]

whoa you see that hot chick at the end of the video, woooooo

[mangmd]

trade me right fucking now

[xxcczzz17]

it was heat of the moment adreniline mixed with fustration, thats the reason why he swung his stick, u made a mistake and we can get passed it, what we cant get over is how he didnt go to vokoun and just skated off lets hope he said something in the lockerroom because it wasnt cool. also this is what makes florida underserving of a team, they acted like nothing happened besides a kovalchuk goal. this was all handled incorrectly and is plain old sad

[xxcczzz17]

why is ballard even mad? he was on the other side of the net and he played good d in my opinion on a guy like kovalchuk. it was a freak thing hes not the first to swing his stick in fustraction and he wont be the last this is inexcusable but it was a mistake, not intentinal, hed have to be a terrorist to do tht on purpuse, but it was a friggen dumb mistake that never should have happened. SOLUTION dont swing ur stick, it is a weapon

[23arjaymunar]

Fuck you number 2

[23arjaymunar]

Bad Team... shit

[bassmaster3541]

This is why Ballard is now on biggest douche team in the league

[shayan8431]

this is soo sad man

[squishiesrule9999]

ballard is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo getting sued

[XxKcookiez29]

He got hit by his own teamate? I sometime wonder if he did that on perpous xD!!

[isekc4king]

so when u let dumbasses skip school

[Buzz3023]

@isekc4king Judging by that sentence fragment, I feel like you probably skipped school a lot

[fam0x]

HAHAHAHAHAHA..... ballard probably felt so embarrassed

[rustycoyote5]

not even to see if ur teammate is alright... jackass

[torylinnangel]

owiea! cheasus! Pobre Vokoun!

[hockey7787]

fuckking ballard

[twista1500]

wht the fuck!!!!!! right after he gets fuckin sliced by a stick, they go bak to tlkin about the actually hockey game

[pskull41]

lol at 0:34 kovy is all like, "what? I didnt do anything"

[LaxProKing]

liar he isnt ur dad

[gogginsii]

Ballard. Wow.

[pdolan132]

shut up he's my dad

[hakadava]

It wasn't even hard, he has a mask on that is supposed to take 100mph shots

[powergnome3584]

Holly shit if I was that guy I would dig a hole in the ice and never come out

[westernstar4000]

guy with fricken audited problem he should have got suspended from the league

[persianprideeliar]

Poor Ballard. They lost a goalie and a D-man that night. Poor Vokoun as well.

[markmywords312]

Holy shit the no.2 player just walked away. Fkin team mate nearly dies and he walks off. Coward scum

[BruinsBeatCanucks]

LOL What a tough guy!

[cooperman1630]

he just got fucked up

[TheTal3nt3dOne23]

fuck this guy

[mrBananaScopes]

Friendly fire is on?

[19caplin82]

@mrBananaScopes friendly fire isnt friendly

[Potatoboylovespotato]

TEAM KILL!!!

[Frankiepdp4]

Y U NO SAVE!?!??!

[eggsoffury]

and pause it

[eggsoffury]

look at 0:03

[hockeyguymatt2]

keith ballard is a fucker! he didnt even stop to see if he was ok!!

[WilliamOfficiel]

Look at 0:01

[NeilsonEdits]

@WilliamOfficiel lol "dick on volkoun"

[thomasgreissfan17]

funny how theres more thrashers around vokoun then panthers

[TheBigpickel]

its the goalies falt for being there instead of being on the bench not letting in goals.

thumbs up i u agree

[TheBigpickel]

i mean if u agree

[MegaEkak]

@TheBigpickel What the fuck are you on?

[jayhawkgirl08]

:( Never give that guy a stick again....

[torylinnangel]

@jayhawkgirl08 that's what she said... LOL!

[PinkskirtTV]

@jayhawkgirl08 Never let that guy play again -.- what a fucker

[andmei1000]

@PinkskirtTV You are really a fucking idiot. If you think that that was not an acident mabey you got hit in the head with a stick.

[em2617]

I agree with scmproductions144 he did it on purpose out of frustration

[scmproductions144]

im sorry but i think this was on purpose... ballad wacks him, knows he wacks him, takes another swing this time at the post and just skates away! if i was the coach or something he would have came to the bench and i would have told him to get off the bench and go home

[SuperBigdyck]

i dont think the player should play no more dumm ass

[Totema1]

@SuperBigdyck Sad thing is, he wasn't even disciplined at all for this. He's still playing today, but for a different team.

Smacking your own goalpost is childish anyway. He should have focused that energy into helping his goaltender, not having a tantrum.

[BowHunterAz08]

"Let in another one and see what happens!"

[superskaterDC1000]

Not killed, hurt*

[flames8889]

And after nailing his own goalie he continues to whack the post and skate away. What a fucking loser.

[italkart24racer]

@flames8889 He's a Canuck now. That's where he belongs.

[TheVilmmy]

@flames8889 Maybe he didn't realize that Vokoun was injured in that situation. And when he realized it, he felt sure just awful and he was very ashamed..

[breathingreflection]

@flames8889 Seriously. Ballard's gotta know he hit his teammate. Instead he skates away like big deal. Only thing that Ballard might have thought was that Vokoun's mask would've stopped the stick from causing injury. I'm not sure he was aware he hit him in the ear with that stick. That's gotta hurt more than anything.

[XxHxTxIxDxX]

he must feel like a dick

[TAH2719]

Remember when Atlanta had a hockey team?

[DuckyManSwe1337]

I think im gonna stop playing hockey...

[HOLYCRAPBOOBS]

i skipped through the entire video, never found a clear slow motion clip.... awesome

[wagstaff11]

What an idiot, you can tell on the angle at 3:15, he didn't even hit the post lol just pure Vokoun's dome.

Control your anger! aha

[illuminatorspiffy77]

lmao i wuld be pissed if i was vokoun but im laughing cuz it was ballard

[HDDRIVE2GO]

is he alive? 

[TheRedElephants]

@HDDRIVE2GO Yeah he plays for the Capitals now.

[xkillingxtime]

Now imagine this… 70 years ago when goalies had no helmets and sticks were made of unbreakable wood

[dylanmo91]

@xkillingxtime yeah i know. seems crazy compared to todays hockey standards doesnt it?

[JamesAc17]

what a dick

[CaptainGreyStreet]

Green Onions.

[jlgoodall1]

how come he can take a 90 mph puck to the head but as soon as a stick slaps it he takes 20 minutes to get off the ice...on a stretcher...

[xkillingxtime]

@jlgoodall1 because a puck has less force… a puck stops and goes in the other direction… a stick swung by a person keeps going plus the stick broke so i pretty sure he hit him pretty hard, and there was probably a bunch of splinters that came off the stick when it shattered

[adamfree2003]

0:02 you hit your own player?! not smart

[Tac0Massacre]

do u c what happens when u let a goal in.

[MrEminem3002]

itd weird when the flordia pather hockey player hit the goalie in the head i got a headache i dunno weird lol

[MovimentoModerno1987]

Keith Ballard fucking psicopatic...

[guitarNVW09]

If that had been a guy on the other team it would have been the longest suspension in NHL history.

[guitarNVW09]

dude. Braindead

[lsbgamer]

wow.  wat an ass

[SOMEWELSHGUY1]

Keith Ballard : 'that's what you get for letting a goal in!'

[hockeygoon79]

"No one in the building feels worse than Keith Ballard.." No. I can think of one other person who feels worse than Keith Ballard.

[southCnjsCatcher]

I love how Ballard looks around like, "Oh shit...I don't think anyone saw"

[rayman9670]

HE IS RETARDED.

[kyzja1111]

Из-за какой-то пропущенной шайбы убивать? Люди сошли с ума(((

[suttinator2000]

OMG

[VivaLaGaming360]

It's always the panthers goalie that gets hurt...

[Homey2967]

What a dumb ass he hit his own teammate

[ALEXBENLAK]

How the f they know if hes eyes were on the post?! xD

[amadeus198109]

cant believe he does not even react to the fact he hits him! he just continues to smash he's stick...what a fucking asshole.

[Beanman25Jr]

I think it's time Ballard goes in for timeout

[XxImm0rtallityxX]

Who the fuck would anyone do that?

[TheTjstephenson]

haha im a canucks fan and i used to think that the shit ballerd did was wierd and unlucky but i didnt know who he was now he plays for the nucks and looking back on these i now know who he is!

[manitsmatt]

that is just fucking sad,he knows in his right mind he glocked vokoun in the head but still skates off

[JayBaddAssCutler]

Ballard is a dumb fuck. Why would u do tht.. Its only fitting tht hes a Canuck now...

[RainbowDashRoad]

what a jackass

[rbsadler]

Does anyone know if Vokoun was okay afterwards?

[JayBaddAssCutler]

@rbsadler Yea, he plays for the Capitals now

[dalbgg6]

@rbsadler no he died thats why he plays for washington or whoever

[360flipperXD]

Lol teamkiller XD

[FireBomberBassist]

Thats fucked up. Immagine trying to appoligize to him after that...

[TheXchuppax]

the 2 is a pd

[JrGMatte]

OMFG WTF ARE HE DOIN?

[borderware]

" I TOLD YOU (WHACK), TO STOP LETING IN GOALS !! "

[TABBYFINSTAH]

It might have been an accident, but he did do some things wrong. You don't slam your stick on the goalpost (or your goalies head) after a goal, and you don't just walk away from that.

[Khabibulin3935]

Damn, So many people just can't get it through their head that it was an accident. Ballard was very emotional after that accident.

[JayBaddAssCutler]

@Khabibulin3935 Yea he was emotional, but you dont whack ur stick around anyones head, especially ur own goalie.

[TheKesselfan81]

is that why he got traded

[dalenkwint]

You're supposed to protect your goalie and swinging your stick by his head is not how you do it. If one of my teammates did that to my goalie I'd have to smack him upside his head for being such an idiot.

[trevor8930]

Im shocked to see so many ballard haters, it was complete accident

[HardcoreGodz]

What is that team in blue? lol

[AnistonAnarchist]

@HardcoreGodz The Atlanta Thrashers (this season, though, the team became the Winnipeg Jets).

[HardcoreGodz]

@AnistonAnarchist yeah I know I was sarcastic...just sayin that nobody gave a shit about the trashers and we already forgot about them

[AnistonAnarchist]

@HardcoreGodz Man, I suck with Internet sarcasm.

[himynameisatticus]

I guess Ballard belongs as a Canuck..

[BobSaggot666]

What a fucking piece of shit. 

[GoalieBoy38]

i like how he doesent even check on his goalie and then hits the post again and leaves

[ninjabut15]

goalie

[ninjabut15]

the backup goile was so happy

[DilleShow84]

"Smack your own goalie" *problem solved*

[kakanstoffekakan]

why did he do that

[HardcoreGodz]

@kakanstoffekakan the goalie slept with his wife
