Crash Takes Out Avs’ Goalie In Shootout Loss To Panthers
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on December 3rd, 2009
Keith Ballard knocked a second NHL goalie out of action within a week, only this time he got a face full of knuckles from Avalanche captain Adam Foote for it.
The Avs then missed out on a great chance to rub a victory in the faces of the Florida Panthers on Wednesday night, losing 6-5 in a shootout at BankAtlantic Center.
Avs goalie Craig Anderson, playing against his former team, was hurt and left the game in overtime after Ballard collided with him following a scoring attempt. Unlike Ballard’s inadvertent stick to the head of teammate Tomas Vokoun in Atlanta on Monday, Foote felt there was nothing accidental about the incident and pounded Ballard behind the net.
“From my view, it looked deliberate,” Foote said. “Whether he was trying to jar the puck loose, I don’t know. Whatever reason it was, it was deliberate.”
