Anton Volchenkov gets hit with shot in face.

[cowzplaycod]

pwned make a great goalie go just fall over and take it in the face

[iscope100]

Hey at 1:40 he has my name!!! :)

[AirRaider56]

I hate to say it.. but this is why i love hockey a hell of a lot more than football.. this right here makes football look like a pussy sport

[jaronious89]

@AirRaider56 so people can get hit in the face in baseball and bleed as well..... football would then be a pussier sport than baseball too? oh ok. sorry they use pads to avoid people from getting injured in every game.

[ty703]

lets go pens

[Philly4Life1818]

HOLY SHITT.......

What a save.

[lukeo24]

This guy is a beast!

[ooder1]

if he didn't have a visor he could have died right then and there.

you see this Don cherry... this is why visors are needed

[dgd151]

@ooder1 don cherry dosnt like visors?

[ooder1]

@dgd151 nope,

always goes goes out of his way if a guy doesn't wear one, and speaks of them in a negative tone.

very old school guy

[dgd151]

@ooder1 i know his point but at this rate with how hard people shoot with the composite sticks, and how people shoot higher because of the better equipment some one is going to get killed

[camaro572]

Too bad he won't be re-signed by ottawa. :(

[Radeo]

lol @ gord's high voice in this clip

he doesn't sound like this at all now

[snowfreak551]

man i hate malken!!!

[ooder1]

when i saw this... i thought he was dead.

this guy is a monster

[ColinGWood]

Volchenkov is definitely a cornerstone of the sens if they want to contend in the future... problem is, hes a ufa soon is he not?

Alfie, fish, neil, phillips, volch, spezz, and now peter regin, ryan shannon, nick foligno.. these are the solid guys that ottawa needs to keep intact

and of course, some brilliance from the duo of broduer and elliot!

ps too bad we didnt keep commodore, great guy

[canucks22vids]

i wish this guy was on the canucks. sens fans, cherish this guy, hes such a tank.

[Sens4cup08]

Volchenkov isnt scared of pucks, pucks are scared of him .....i dont think anything can stop him then again he is russian so that explains it

[AKGraphiX91]

@Sens4cup08 In Soviet Russia puck shoots you!

[ty703]

@Sens4cup08 lets go pens

[ty703]

@Sens4cup08 lets go pens fuck the sens

[putrozza]

@Sens4cup08 russian, so what!!! has nothng to do with it!!

[shaun8766]

hes awesome and now hes starting to hit!

[mikkoyay]

Unfortunately these accidents are a part of a shotblocker's protocol.

[UboobSuks]

@mikkoyay

its why shotblockers do usually have long careers, seems like its changing more though because of faceshields, every one should wear a faceshield

[SachuBachu]

Sens better resign him, he's THE PREMIER shot blocker in the league...blocks shots with his FACE!

[Sens4cup08]

xD i honestly think that if both of the sens goalies are out and we dont really have the trust in our 3rd goalie (mike Brodeur) we should throw a cage on volchenkov and have him play 'nets' but the thing is we have 6 attackers becuase he isnt actually goaltender no pads,glove, blocker :D i thought we shoulda did this in the end of the 07-08 and all of 08-09 :D

[GGW81]

Volchenkov is a tank, a flipping tank.

[greenman1100]

Was Volchenkov even wearing a visor?

[nicolasinfire]

that why all the hockey players on ice need a cage mask....

[xThemalemodelsx]

Fuck you.

[SamThePiratehalo3]

Anton Volchenkov your are my hero! Go Sens

[cookie2424242424]

he tripped over the other guys skate

[hockeyplaya2724]

ooder1 if you think this is scary look up Clint Malarchuk

[Jontenn]

Anton is really an unselfish shotblocking d-man. Really underated, maybe because he dosen't score so many goals

[chris27438]

God the sens were so injured during this series, Volchy, spezza, alfie, fisher, kelly, wow, no wonder they got swept, there wasnt much they could do.

[ooder1]

when i saw this clip, I was sure that volchenkov just died on the ice, that was fucking scary

what a freak accident, volchenkov fell just right in the right position and the right time to get it in his face

[PenFan444]

and thats why he had 106 points

[oilcountry44]

Malkin shoots like a 3 year old lol..

he tilts his stick back so we can get lift on the shot.

[kommynabokov]

BEAST tuff like his father

[saucetomate4012]

Wow, I've already got a wrister in the face; it feels like you are dying... I just don't wanna figure how a slap shot would hurt.

[Mullstein123]

The Sabres didn't make the playoffs because they lost their 2 best players to free agency in the offseason, dumbass.

[skaalex]

Thoresen one upped him. gave a nut to block a shot.

[kigawman]

OUCH!!

[quik116silver]

volchenkov has some sick goalie stats now

[Mullstein123]

It's not because I'm a Pens fan. The Senators played dirty against everyone else in the playoffs last year as well, including the much better Sabres.

[BritIronRebel]

They were pretty dirty last year in the POs.

Shooting pucks intentionally at someone isn't my idea of showing leadership...not naming names or anything.

[danderblut]

sabres didnt even MAKE it to the play offs this year LMAO

[chris27438]

if playing dirty means outplaying a team than, yeah they played dirty, just cause the sabres are little girls dont bitch about it son.

[5valencia]

The pens fan thinks the Sens are dirty. The dirtiest play last year in the Pittsburgh Ottawa series was when Roberts hit Volchenkov from behind, but what do I know I've only played hockey for 36 years.

[DUONG112]

see how dirty hossa was? volchenkov already down and hossa still took the shot..and malone tripped volchenkov to cause all the problem..

go to wings and get your knee broken, hossa

[NDirish2112]

what do you want him to do, stop playin? The ref didnt blow the whistle til the save. This happens in the NHL. Its no ones fault

[elementsk8r24]

ndirish2112. tru dat its a freak accident

[SteelPenguins1]

36 years? did you get into the nhl?

[5valencia]

No, I played US college then 6 years in Europe, and finished in the east coast league.

[nicolasinfire]

in your dreams yea im making your mom but that real OWN

[5valencia]

by your response it is quite clear you didn't play U.S. college or graduate from High School. Learn to compose a sentence shit for brains!

[nicolasinfire]

hahahaha ill fuck the brain of your mom out stop creating a life you dont have i hate when people is liying

[ChathamJedi]

as a habs fan I am not biased like some of the above comments. Volchenkov is actually a great defensive player who plays the game very physical. He really doesn't take cheap shots but rather just plays the game like a defensman should

[Mullstein123]

This guy is a really dirty player, just like a lot of the Sens. I would feel bad for him if he had been a better human being. He took so many cheap shots in the playoffs last year.

[Chinamenrock]

What Volchenkov were you watching?

He's easily one of the most under rated d-men in the NHL, and he rarely takes a cheapshot, If ever.

[pensfan83]

Ow... I'm a hockey player and getting hit with slapshots hurts like hell. I can't imagine taking one to the face from Evgeni Malkin. I relly hope he's ok cause he's a great player.

[crazyfunnydork]

GO PENS!!!!!!!!

[BritIronRebel]

I hear he'll be back for game 2 which is good news.

As a Penguins fan, WE don't hope or like to see the opposition's players to get hurt.

That's unlike the Ottawa Sun's classless douchebag sports writer DON BRENNAN who wrote that the Senators need to take a two-handed chop on Crosby's ankle.

[sensfan07]

you are so right i dont think many teams playing against each other want to hurt anyone unless it is ottawa and toronto or ottawa and buffalo then it is a battle royale ha but there was no one at fault there he just stumbled over the guy and happened that a puck hit him but knowing how tough that guy is he will be back especially since it is the playoffs

[h4xorblood]

did they really say that? what ignorance.. sounds like something the flyers would say/do

[h4xorblood]

found it. "

Crosby's got a bad RIGHT ankle? How will it stand up to a two-hander? The Senators have to find out." ..."It's playoff time. Anything goes." dirty fuck

[BritIronRebel]

Yes, if I were as immature as Mr Brennan, I would wait outside his hotel here in Pittsburgh with an old Sherwood and take a two-hander at his ankle. When the cops would come to arrest me, I'd say "It's playoff time. Anything goes"

[BritIronRebel]

When Georges Laraque was asked about Brennan's comment, he said Brennan was "stupid". So then next day Brennan writes that he dares Laraque to say that to his face. Tough guy...Haha.

Well, after the game, Laraque found him and called his stupid to his face and tough guy Brennan slinked away like a little girl.

[pensfan83]

Did that really happen? That's awesome! Its easy to be a tough guy through the newspaper though isn't it?

[BritIronRebel]

Yes, it happened and Brennan admits it today.

This guy's a real moron...he seems to think Slap Shot is still the way they play in the ECHL.

Check out his picture sometime...he's got not just a double chin but 4 or 5 of them.

[pensfan83]

Haha! Holy hell it figures he'd look like an .

[BritIronRebel]

Yeah...he's got great fashion sense too.

That is.... IF you're into the Ace Venture look.

[1manband25]

nasty!!!! look closely, takes a deflection off a stick early on, would have probably gone under him or hit his shoulder on the ice if so

its a game of inches!!!!!

[corunguneee]

ouch
