Testicles and Ovechkin

It turns out Alexander Ovechkin may have just killed Flyers left wing Patrick Thoresen’s chances of ever conceiving a child:

“WASHINGTON — Flyers left wing Patrick Thoresen was taken to the hospital for tests after getting hit in the groin by a shot off Alex Ovechkin’s stick during Philadelphia’s 5-4 loss to Washington on Friday night.

“He’s going to the hospital to get an ultrasound done on his testicles. It’s bad enough they may have to remove one,” Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said. “Right now, we’re not sure how serious it is, but there’s a chance he may need surgery.”

Thoresen blocked Ovechkin’s shot with about 6 1/2 minutes left in the game, then dropped to the ice, writhing in pain. Moments later, Washington scored to tie the game 4-4.

“Obviously, I’d have liked to see a whistle,” Flyers coach John Stevens said.

Thoresen was helped off the ice and taken to the locker room.”

Is it too early to say “That sucks nuts”?

You know, they say the playoffs are all about sacrifice. And props should go out to Patrick Thoresen, who pretty much made THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.
