from Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
Several players took blows to the head in Wednesday’s game between the Blues and Anaheim Ducks, but none was more serious than the one on goalie Manny Legace….
On the play in which Legace was injured, George Parros buried a rebound for a 1-1 score, and skating by the front of the net, Carter lifted his knee into Legace’s head.
“I’m a little foggy,” Legace said. “All that I know is that the goal is in and he comes skating by and there’s nobody pushing him and there’s nobody on him. He could have avoided it. It’s something to look at.”
Blues coach Andy Murray said there should have been interference called on the play, but the officials told him they didn’t see the collision happen.
read on and watch the video of the goal/injury below…

The Ducks arent known for cheap shots, Chris Pronger is known for cheap shots.

I watched the replay over and over again, and I simply can’t decide on whether this is worth any disciplinary action. It doesn’t “seem” like Carter was paying attention and therefore it could have been a mere accident. But then again, the Ducks are known for cheap shots and it “seems” like Carter could have avoided Legace.
I think it’s too close to call from what I can see on NHL.com (youtube being firewalled at my work), but I do feel bad for Manny. The head shot parade continues…
