They called again
Roman Polák
ice hockey
To this day, I don't know how I could think of such nonsense. In the middle of the fourth playoff game against Washington, I started ahead and tried to go around Brooks Orpik on the blue line. I did things I should not be doing on the ice at all. I wanted to jump into the offense.
Of course, one of the toughest guys in the league didn't mess with me at all. He hit me with his shoulder at full speed and spun me into the air. On impact, I sat down on my leg and heard two blunt blows. It was immediately clear to me that this injury was going to be very bad.
This is how the biggest victory of my career was born.
