Florida Panthers goalie, Tomas Vokoun, after his teammate Keith Ballard gave his face a slap shot.
With teammates like these, who needs opponents? Last night, when Florida Panthers defenseman Keith Ballard failed to get back on defense, then failed to recover the rebound of a breakaway shot blocked by his goalie Tomas Vokoun, allowing the Atlanta Thrashers to score, he swung his stick at the goal post in frustration, only Vokoun's pesky head mistook it for a puck and deflected it. As if surrendering a lead didn't hurt enough, the dazed keeper suffered a lacerated ear and had to be carted off the ice. Way to pick up your teammate, puck-nuts! Maybe next time try a pat on the back.
