That's Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals for all of you non-hockey fans, so that's all but three of you. Anaheim Ducks defenseman Chris Pronger will miss the next game for striking Ottawa Senators forward Dean McAmmond in the head with his forearm:
It is the sixth career NHL suspension for the 6-foot-6, 220-pound, hard-hitting All-Star and the second in these playoffs. "It was just a reaction play. I just stepped up to make a hit," Pronger told reporters.
That's exactly what I told the cops when I set fire to my ex-girlfriend's house. Apparently "reaction play to a cheating slut" is not an acceptable reason for arson. The Senators believe the hit was deliberate:
"It's no doubt that he did this on purpose," said Senators general manager John Muckler. "Unfortunately, we have a player that is injured and has a concussion. And it's doubtful whether he'll be able to play on Monday. Hopefully he will. We just have to move forward."
Wait, McAmmond was knocked the fuck out?
[NHL disciplinarian Colin] Campbell said he had "no doubt" McAmmond was knocked out on the ice.
And that's four KOs today, sexy readers! I've fulfilled my quota for stories of unconsciousness – have a great week! -KD
Note: I don't know if lovely Shania is a Leafs or a Sens fan, but she has to be happy the Canadian team won last night.

Shania Twain would look better wearing the jersey of the team she wants to see win the Cup.
Also at the same time slashing the ever-loving shit out of Pronger, Alfredsson, and Heatley.
Some pitcher from Fresno State just got his clock cleaned by a line-drive, so the KO Count is up to 5!
What's going on with those pants? I should be able to read her lips.
So when people say Shania sings country music, does that mean she's singing canadia music?
As for Pronger – what a jackass. This is the second time in the 2007 playoffs that he's been suspended for an illegal hit. This isn't "playoff hockey" this is "headhunting hockey", and though the second name is cooler, its just not as fun.
Oh, and doesn't Shania make it 5 knockouts? HOO-HA.
Holy crap! I think that last commenter acutally watches hockey!
Shit…I might as well round out Matt's 3 that watch hockey…I think it is only me, the Canuck and Hail…….
and Matt….Shania was the BEST canadian you could come up with???
What happenned to the original picture of Shania that was in this post? I demand that it be returned!
Sorry littles, here you go: [shania.rackhost.net]
I thought it was too grainy, plus I prefer rubber shirts with buckles. They remind me of the fun I used to have when I was an orderly at the insane asylum.
Judging from that photo, Canada is a very cold place.
That's thru vinyl (or pleather) Dave05.
Funny… Pronger never seemed to play dirty like that when he was an Oiler. Hmph. Weird.
