Griner was ejected from the game with 9 minutes left on the clock. This was after a previous 21 points scored by her during the game.

There was really no call for what happened on that court. I’m sure this woman’s teammates are quite embarrassed over her actions.

“There’s no place for that in sports,” Mulkey said. “It was ugly for women’s basketball. It was ugly that coaches were on the court, that benches cleared, and I will take care of that with my team.”

What on earth?

And by doozy, I mean a chair. On the ref’s head.

“It wasn’t the hand of God. It was the hand of a rascal,” Robson said. “God had nothing to do with it. The world bought into Diego Maradona’s poetic description of the ‘goal’ that put you out of the 1986 World Cup, but I didn’t. That day, Maradona was diminished in my eyes for ever.” (source)

With his team up 2-0 eight minuted into the second period, Fanelli skated the puck behind his own net. As Michael Liambas of the Erie Otters came bearing down on him, the Rangers defenseman attempted to reverse the flow by playing the puck back to his partner, but that didn’t stop him from receiving a vicious hit to the head, which sent his helmet flying into the air and knocked him to the ice where he lay unconscious for the next 40 minutes.

The Kitchener players began a prayer circle as trainers attended to Fanelli, who lay motionless beside a pool of blood created from a cut he sustained on his head. His mom, who was in attendance with some otherfamily members, reportedly fainted from the sight of her injured son and had to be revived.

Fanelli would eventually be taken off the ice and airlifted to the hospital where he remained in critical but stable condition. He was diagnosed by doctors at the Grand River Hospital as having sustained a fractured skull and orbital bone, as well as facial lacerations, but has been making progress.

The latest news coming on Sunday states that he remains in intensive care, in critical but stable condition. Our thought and prayers go out to Fanelli, his family, and friends during this tough time.

Liambas received an indefinite suspension for his nasty role in this incident.

Wow, this is just outrageous. The man could have died. And the entire team is protecting the guy who did this? If anything, the coach should be honor-bound to say something. One of his players destroyed a man’s health and ruined his love of the game – that player should have consequences for his actions.

What jerks.

Cheap, man, cheap.

Given the low attendance at this game, I personally wouldn’t recommend running off the ones you’ve got.

Bam!
