This, friends and neighbors, is why spearing is a 5-minute major penalty in the game of hockey!! :-)

Was in the box as usual last Friday night. Check comes over the boards and into the box with me, and I look down to see the blade of a hockey stick jamming me in the side. I had a split-second to think 'Oh man, that's going to bruise' and then the guys were pulling themselves back out of the box and were on their way.

This photo was taken three days later.
