I've had few pretty bad ones. This one on my thigh hurt for 6 months. I can't imagine some of the ones you had as a goalie.I've had bruises like that.
Serves me right for being a goalie.
Anybody can get drilled like that in a game, but you have to get away from my bulkier stuff to bruise me. Back about 10 years ago I had pads that didn't have much coverage on the tops of my knees when I butterflied. I took a few off the knees, but one in practice I thought shattered my knee cap. Thankfully, I was just a vag, but the egg in the fucking middle of my knee for months was a little tough. That one was probably the worst, and that counts getting hit in the collarbone countless times and once in the neck.I've had few pretty bad ones. This one on my thigh hurt for 6 months.

DAMN you. Two hours gone yesterday to rewatch game 3 - and then I had to leave for a place with no streaming capability with 5 min left (or 20 min of vid time) in Game 4, and two more games to go!I fucking love this guy: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89E8F6EAD2BE40ED
Good call. I just looked it up.That photo is fantastic. Didn't Stanley Forman snap it?
I just came here to post this link. Great stuff.Cool old B's photos here
It is for the top scorer, and apparently, when the top scorer gets a point money gets donated to to charity.The streaks of flames on the helmet and jersey for (presumably) the leading scorer is a nice touch in the Seguin video.
I didn't know that part.You may have heard of European clubs and leagues giving a leading scorer a gold helmet to wear during games to award the player, but the Swiss National Leagues take it a step further. Since 2002, the National Leagues (A and B) top scorers on each team have worn a flaming helmet and jersey with TOP SCORER written in big font on the back. While these players look ridiculous, it's all for a good cause and growing hockey in Switzerland as for each point the top scorer gets means money donated to junior hockey in Switzerland. Since 2002, over 3 million Swiss francs have been raised for Swiss youth hockey which is pretty awesome despite having to look like a jackass in the process.
