Keith Ballard Viciously Slashes Tomas Vokoun Over The Head (Video)
Total Pro Sports — Everyone has their own way of letting out frustration.  When it comes to sports, it may often be released against the opposition, or maybe even on the officials.  Rarely does frustration result in teammate-on-teammate violence, but that was the case Monday night in Atlanta, and the result was a terrifying one for Toman Vokoun and Keith Ballard of the Florida Panthers. In town to face the Thrashers, the Panthers found themselves tied midway through the first period when Ilya Kovalchuk got behind Ballard and found himself alone on a break-away against Vokoun.  His initial shot ...

KEITH BALLARD BROKE HIS OWN GOALIE
With Leather — I don’t get these guys that get off on damaging equipment whenever they botch a play. Take Panthers defenseman Keith Ballard. Dude gets beat by a cherry-picking Ilya Kovalchuk and then inexplicably cracks his goalie right in the head. Then–while looking right at the fallen Tomas Vokoun–he just skates off. It’s just an amazing act of carelessness, and honestly, I wonder how Ballard was treated in that Panthers dressing room at the end of this game, which the Panthers lost. Turns out that Vokoun just suffered an ear laceration. He still did better than ...
