12.10.08 SNOWBLOWER ACCIDENT SIDELINES SAKIC
Colorado Avalanche captain Joe Sakic, who was scheduled to return in mid-January from a herniated disk in his back, will instead be out for three months. Why? Freak snow blower accident.
[Sakic] has broken three fingers in a snow blower accident and will be out at least three months.
The Avalanche say Sakic underwent surgery Tuesday night for the broken fingers and tendon damage. The team says he’s expected to make a full recovery.
The snow blower accident occurred at Sakic’s home Tuesday afternoon, but the team hasn’t given any details.
“Hasn’t released details”???? Come on! You can’t just put the words “snow blower accident” out into the world and not give any more details. This is an awesome story about a freak injury to an NHL player, not some lame story like the results of an NHL game.
(pretty good list of odd sports injuries at Fan IQ)

SNOWBLOWER ACCIDENT SIDELINES SAKIC
Wait, was he using a snow blower or was he blowing the awful rapper, Snow?
“Snowblowers” is what I call the ‘88 Mets.
Really, what is the point of wearing boots if you are going out like that?
@Enrico: Mm-licky-boom-boom, yeah.
/shoots self for remembering that
Shoulda been you, Todd Palin.
Have you seen the Avs’ record? You’d be sticking your hand in a snow blower too..
Humph. All this time I thought a “Colorado Avalanche” was when you took a post-Mexican food dump, put it in the freezer, then put a blindfold on a girl and told her you were going to feed her strawberries, and then (deleted, too disgusting to put in print). Turns out it’s the name of a professional sports franchise. Learn something new every day.
He injured himself with a snowblower? He should have jumped 6 inches in the air and put a ball in a hoop. That would be good.
Avs beat the Kings 6-1 yesterday. That’s gay. Also gay? Gay guys.
Bullshit!! You call three broken fingers a snow blowing “accident”? Your vocab is screwed: No dismemberment, No accident.
