Commenter/wet blanket Jim Jones was nice enough to take a break from picking up guys outside the free health clinic to send along this video (also available at Fan IQ) from Saturday night's Kings-Avalanche game. Avs forward Ryan Smyth had just scored his second goal of the game when Jack Johnson took him hard into the boards by the Colorado bench. Smyth lay unconscious on the ground for several minutes before getting up, but he's out indefinitely until the team's medical staff performs more tests. When asked to comment, Johnson said, "No, I won't play 'Bubble Toes'! That's the OTHER Jack Johnson!" You just know everyone was disappointed to learn that.


When I see injuries like this I think how it's just a wonder these guys don't shit their pants immediately afterwards.
I'd just like to point out that, much like (insert possibly gay athlete's name here)'s weekend, there are two johnsons involved in this story.
Ahh Don Cherry, eases the pain.
hockey is awesome!
take a break from picking up guys outside the free health clinic
That's awful.
Everyone knows that if you want to pick up desperate guys you go to the bus station.
I mean, I read that once.
Thats what you get for spelling your name SmYth, Commie bastard.

How about 'Banana Pancakes'?
“take a break from picking up guys outside the free health clinic”
Better than the RAINBOW CLUB in Miami…They all work out there, and put up too much of a fight…
Johnson’s reasoning behind the hit was that “Smyth is a total Flake.”
//Jack Johnson sucks
The appropriate term for a hit like that is getting turnbuckled. I know this because I got turnbuckled when I was playing in a hockey tournament in middle school.
Oh, and turnbuckled is not a euphemism for getting raped by a clown. Cause I also got raped by a clown when I was in middle school
KILL, JACK, KILL
You flatter me, Matt.
Also, <3 Jack.
what a pussy.
