Looks like the skate comes up and catches him in the side of the head. If he wasn't wearing a visor that might have been pretty awful.

"Captain" Steve Ott mixes it up with Adam Henrique while Steve Bernier is busy scoring the overtime winner. Henrique is amused.
Marchy with a Crazy Loom in both hands... does this scare anyone else? THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
Why does the image on the Crazyloom box look like a lady giving out handjobs?
Ho! Ho! Ho!
That's why.

From The Nosebleeds via Deadspin. It doesn't look that bad in real time but just watching it hurts in super slo mo.
It's awful, and there can be no place for it in the game, but in all honesty, I'm still trying to figure out how Orpik got injured. The slew foot is almost more offensive than two short (gloved) jabs to the head. Neal changing his path and extending his knee to a prone Marchand's head reveals far more intent to injure than this does. He should have gotten more than a phone hearing in my opinion. Thornton was incensed that Orpik wasn't accountable for causing a second concussion to a highly skilled, classy player—with a borderline hit that probably looked much more savage in real time than it does to some of us on replay. If that's how Thornton saw things, I can understand how he went a bit mental. I don't absolve his actions, I'm just saying, it's clear to me why he snapped. Neal's hit is garden variety douche-baggery, and by that I mean—slightly more unprovoked and thuggish. Minor postscript but Dupuis' slash of Kelly is getting no play at all. I don't think Kelly thought it was at all accidental—hence the three crosschecks to the back of Dupuis. When I want to keep a puck in at the blue line with a backhand, something I do a lot of as a D-Man, I generally keep my stick on the ice rather than at ankle level. And I don't have a fraction of the stick control these guys do.santadevil said:

Are you referring to the Giroux goal? Because that's Curtis McElhinney, is it not?
An AHL ref wore a helmet cam for a recent game. Pretty cool to hear the conversations on the ice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEBoOr12BrI
This is pretty cool. I love at about 3:40 while hashing out the penalties for fights:Pumpsie said:
Red Captain: "Your guy took my guys helmet off and tried to hit him with it"
White Captain: ...... "That's legal, right?"
Just came here to post the AHL ref video. Love the part where the teddy bear toss "no goal" is discussed.
I like it when the ref points to two guys tangling up in front of the goalmouth and yells "goalie interference!" and the defenseman says "Who? ME?" and the ref points to the forward and says "No! HIM!"
Play should have been blown dead (refs lost sight of the puck, puck is firmly lodged in goalie's equipment)
but still, strangest goal I can remember

It happened too fast for the ref to blow the whistle. By the time the ref figured out what had happened there, the goalie was in the net.
Awesomeness via SportsFilter. They linked to this article, which also shows the guy losing the stick.
For those of you who may not (or can not) venture into TBLtS - here's a video of a game played at Fenway Park (featuring some very notable SoSHers) shot using a GoPro.
There are three perspectives in the video - first a forward, then a goalie, and the rest (and most) of the footage is shot by one of the refs.
