He broke his stick

Carolina goaltender Cam Ward was helped off the ice in the first period of the Hurricanes' game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Ward knelt for a couple of minutes on the ice before he was attended to by team trainers. As he was being helped off, drops of blood hit the ice.

Ward stretched to make a save while the Blue Jackets' Rick Nash was skating through the crease at the 7:35 mark. It appeared Nash might have nicked Ward in the groin area with a skate.

Michael Leighton replaced Ward in goal.

No kidding, bro... starting to think we should prepare for locusts and plague.

Cam Ward is a great goalie, and a quality person. Hoping he will be OK. Heard on the radio broadcast that they were keeping him in the hospital overnight... was hoping they would get a couple of stitches and release him. I will be listening intently for his condition.

Please let us know if you get any local updates before ESPM.com puts one up, Joe. Hope he will be back soon.

Man Joe that is horrible and scary. Hope he is alright.

Watching the wings and leafs in the car. Someone forgot to tell the Leafs they were supposed to get rolled. Looks like the wings up and down season will continue. Bad goal tending again tonight

oOOOO crap Rangers at Calgary. Hey Phenuf how you like my sloppy seconds! Come on fight

Kipper put on a show tonight.

Big hit on Drury from Glencross, I like my team but this one might have been beyond necessary.

Whats with the super pest...............he was invisible tonight, not that I give a damn about Avery but a pilon would have been more effective.

Update on Ward on HNIC was that he will be released in the morning that the stay over was precautionary.

icehog3 · 11-08-2009, 12:28 AM

I just happened to turn on XM radio right after the Drury hit but didn't get any details...what happened Shawn?

Looked like incidental contact right at the blue line, but Torts was furious. Even on the replays I didn't see it as intent but he did catch him in the head with the shoulder. Drury is concussed which is bad for him as I believe he has had three or for already.

icehog3 · 11-08-2009, 12:33 AM

It's like an epidemic this season, so many more than in past years...and almost all of them are coming on clean (legal ) hits.

I am typically not a fan of European hockey..........but maybe they have it right. A shot to the head (intentional or not) is a penalty.

Dunno, seems there is a ton of injuries this year to a lot of top notch players.

On that happy note, the Flames won..........its late.........sleep time.

Night all.

icehog3 · 11-08-2009, 12:41 AM

Night Shawn.

Why do you guys post these comments you know you are going to get me started.

The report the other day on the NHL channel was currently just over 20% of nhl teams starting rosters are injured. Many of these are comming from big hits. Years ago a lot of these hits would be charging. Now a days guys are getting a 30 foot running start on these hits. You guys know my stance on it. I just dont like head hits. They are becoming way to common. I LOVE I mean LOVE, a monster hip check and just a clean shoulder to body suck the air out hit. You know the old school open ice hits that left your mouth wide open? Its a lost art these days. The guys know how to hit the head and more and more guys are getting more and more injuries. You cant argue they dont and arent when you look at the stats. Head injuries are way up. Part of the problem is the rule changes. One of the new ones needs to be removed. They either need to
1) allow some hooking again to slow players down
2) reactivate the two line pass rule
3) getting ride of that STUPID ASS Instigator Rule on fighting so teams can bring in enforecers to whoop some ass when people run guys (not a huge fan of this and dont think it will really work anyway, just hate the instigator rule)
4) Outlaw headshots all together if they want to keep the rules.

Some great players have had carrers ended from headshots like Lindros and isnt tim connelly got injury issues from them? There are others also. I think its a bad sign of the current game and the lack of respect players are showing for each other. Some(mainly old schoolers) are saying bring back the enforcers/goons to teach respect, but that could result in a whole new group of issues. Either bring back a little hooking and grabbing or outlaw headshots. I guess they will just wait till something happens like the jr kid in the nhl where someone ends up a vegetable or dead.
