Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler nearly beheaded a referee last night when he launched a slapper from the red line that acted like a heat-seeking missile targeting straight for an unlucky referee. It hit the ref up high, much to the pleasure of the (classless) crowd in Minnesota. Even if he had issued some tough calls throughout the game, which is apparently the case, that's no excuse for cheering at a potentially dangerous and scary incident like this.
Fortunately, it's not only the players who are known for their toughness in hockey. The ref toughed it out and finished the rest of the game. It takes a much tougher man than me to shake off a Fowler slapshot to any part of the body, never mind above the shoulders. Talk about one tough ***********.
