There are many ways to take out your anger for a goal, but don't take it out on your own goalie. That's just wrong. I know he didn't mean it, but Vokoun's a good goalie and he'll be sorry for a long time.
I hope none of you play hockey to not understand that its frustrating to give up an important goal.. obviously he did this out of frustration and the second slash was to break his stick b/c he thought he hit the post and didnt break it on the first try.. why would he intentionally hurt their #1 goalie.. that would only put his team in more of a tough situtation.. get a clue people.
@hocky295 hockey takes discipline especially when you are a professional...i understand that the game is choreographed chaos but regardless of what happens grown men should have control over themselves. break the stick on the boards not the cross bar that is 6 inches away from your starting goalies head like come on
@hocky295 important goal? it was in regulation! it wasn't an OT or playoff goal. Big deal! I play hockey and there is no excuse for a two handed uncalled for slash. especially on your own teammate.
I agree with bestgoalie95...it's obviously it was an accident...no one would actually hit their own goalie in the head. Come on now! He was pissed at himself so he hit the post.
I don't disagree with you that it was an accident. But it looks terrible, and if Ballard has that little control and awareness he's a danger on the ice.
no, ur prejuding, it cudve been on a purpose cuz u can see that after he slashed vokouns head, he doesnt go to his hoalie to see if hes ok, but he slashes his stick on the post and then he just skates off, accident, i think not
Melrose says that the first thing that comes to his mind is that he feels sorry for BALLARD!! I may never listen to another thing Melsrose says, ever. What an idiot. I would buy the "accident" thing, if Ballard had immediately checked on his teammate's well-being. Instead, He took ANOTHER whack, then just skated off. How is he not getting beat up by his own teammates?
if I have a bee-bee gun (er however you spell it) and Im aiming at a target and I accidentally shoot a guy 100 yards to the left of it....thats stupid, thats not something that should happen. Dick Cheyney accidentally shoots his friend...thats stupid...that should definantly not happen. Accidents are accidents but that doesn't give the person a get outa jail free card
If Vokoun would've stayed down, Ballard would have not hit him

no mater how important it is, its never just the goalie. theres a thing called defense that the panthers obviously don't know how to play.
