Default Hockey Players are tough...
want proof? Read this little story about Brendan Witt.

Go ahead, make his day.
New York Islanders defenceman Brendan Witt was hit by a car in Philadelphia on Tuesday, according to Newsday. But Witt reportedly picked himself up off the road and, after a few profanities, assured everyone he was all right before continuing on his way, prompting one witness to say, "it was like seeing Clint Eastwood, but in hockey."
Witt was crossing Arch Street to get a cup of coffee when a gold Yukon truck made an illegal turn and hit the 34-year-old. Newsday says Witt tried to jump on the hood of the vehicle before being thrown to the ground as he was struck.
"I'm okay," Witt told the crowd as he dusted himself off, according to Newsday. "I've got to go play some hockey. I'm a hockey player. I'm okay. No big deal."

"Boy that guy is tough," added the same witness, one of many who saw the event occur.
But the 6'2, 219-pound blueliner downplayed the incident.
"I just got lucky," said Witt, who oddly enough had declined an offer for a drive to Wachovia Center from the team's medical staff just prior to the accident. "Fortunately nothing bad happened. I'm just a little sore."
The Humboldt, Saskatchewan native chose not to call police or get medical care, and played in Tuesday night's 6-2 loss to the Flyers.
Witt has two goals, one assist and 35 penalty minutes in 26 games for the Isles this season, and has no plans to star in any action films in the immediate future.

For those of you who are too lazy to read all of that, he got hit by a vehicle, tried to go on the hood of the vehicle and got struck down.... still played a hockey game that night

All I thought was "I knew it was a stupid place to cross here"

I was only about 15 I think, as it was on my paper round.

well the Wings have a double whammy

Not only did they lose a lot of goal scoring to free agency but they have been hit by a lot of injuries to those they had left


Lilja - concussion
Franzen - torn left ACL
Kronwall - sprained MCL
Williams - fractured right fibula
Filpulla - broken right wrist
