Joe Sakic breaks three fingers, not playing hockey but

[Claude Balls]

First of all wtf is Sakic doing running a snowblower while he is out of Colorado's lineup with an injured back? I know my snowblower can be tough to control at times. Maybe he has one of them little electric ones.

 

Secondly, and more importantly, wtf is Joe doing sticking his hand into the auger while it's running anyways? :blink: Come on Joe, common sense dude. :death:

 

Ow, my fingers

fix your link

 

but yeah, what a dummy. Anyone with a brain should know better. Always use a piece of wood to clear the blower out, not your friggin hand. He's lucky he didn't lose em.

He's really lucky that his fingers are only broken and not completely cut off. I remember Pat Verbeek did something similar when he lifted his lawnmower and stuck his hand in there only to find his thumb on the ground next to him. Interestingly, Pat Verbeek ended up playing most of his career with only one thumb. He had a pretty good career considering he is an amputee.

It sounds like maybe hockey players should just stick to playing hockey and pay someone to cut their grass and plow their driveways.

Check out this weird injury from the NBA's Derrick Rose.... lol

 

Derrick Rose wore a large gauze bandage on his left forearm and a

sheepish smile on his face.

 

Rose missed Monday?s practice after he needed 10 stitches to close a

gash suffered when he said he rolled onto a knife while eating an apple

in bed.

 

"It was a silly incident," Rose said. "I was cutting up some food and I

laid on a knife getting lazy in bed. I went to go get a bottle of

water, came back, forgot the knife was there, then sat down and sliced

my arm.

 

"I panicked when it first happened and called my trainer. It was

painful but I should be alright."

 

Athletic trainer Fred Tedeschi drove Rose to Highland Park Hospital

shortly after 8 a.m., where doctors closed the wound.

 

"It was a large wound, but they healed it up," Rose said. "I'm good. I

could?ve practiced today, but they told me to wait until tomorrow. Most

likely, I?m going to play."

 

Rose said he would have the stitches in his arm for 10-14 days.

 

"It?s just an unfortunate thing, but he?ll be fine," coach Vinny Del

said. "He could?ve practiced today but more precautionary to let

him relax a little after that incident and get some rest. Thank

goodness it?s not serious. It could?ve been a lot worse."

No doubt in my mind that's a cover up though.

Yes he does, but she was busy splitting wood for the fire place, doing the laundry, cooking dinner and vacuuming. :chris:
