Keith Ballard, after getting beat by Ilya Kovalchuk for a goal, beats his own goalie... with his stick. I'm guessing he was trying to slash the post in frustration, which has always struck me as just plain stupid and immature, but completely misses and chops goalie Tomas Vokoun across the side of the face. At 3:30 is a above-angle view of it, pretty wicked hit. Vokoun left the game, replaced by Scott Clemmensen.

Preliminary reports from the Panthers don’t sound as bad as it obviously looks:

Panthers goalie Tomas Vokoun is on his way back to South Florida with the team Monday night after being taken to an Atlanta-area hospital due to a lacerated ear after being accidentally hit by a teammate’s stick. Vokoun required several stitches to close up the deep laceration.
