Have you seen this?

Makes Nick Boucher vs. Kevin Bertram seem like nothing

By Justin A,.Cohn
The Journal Gazette

I've certainly seen times when defensemen wanted to take their goalie's head off, but had never seen one try to actually do it.

Justin A. Cohn, pro sports coordinator for The Journal Gazette, has been covering the Fort Wayne Komets since 1997. His reporting includes game stories from home and away, features about the players and personalities associated with the Komets, plus coverage of issues affecting hockey at all levels. A native of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., Cohn graduated from Emory University in Atlanta. He can be reached at 260-461-8429 or by email at jcohn@jg.net.

Don't goalies take enough abuse from the opposing team???

Looks like Excedren headache #2. OUCH! Would that be a highsticking or slashing major. Maybe just stupid. There is no penalty for that.

Any word whatever came about as far as injury goes? It's hard to tell how hard the guy actually swung! If nothing else I am sure his ears were ringing for at least a day just like when you take a slapshot to the ear part of the helmet! So annoying!

AvatarThey took him off on a stretcher! He swung his stick as hard as he could. It looked much worse on TV!

I still like Boucher throwin the puck at Bertram because it was actually intentional.

Alex, Boucher actually never threw the puck at Bertram......the player that was around where the puck was tossed outta the net was in fact Sergei Durdin.

AvatarFrom what I read, his ear just got sliced. I guess they just took him to the hospital as a precaution. It reminded me of when my earlobe was nearly sliced off. The ER doctor didn't even know it until she touched it and a stream of blood ran down my neck. Her words: "Well THAT'S gonna need some stiches." eek lol

Oh yea, Bertram punched Boucher. I forgot about that. hahaha

Nice, I never really thought it was all that funny........two teammates getting into it in a playoff game doesn't really make strike me as that funny. Neither does what happened with Ballard and Vokoun....

AvatarAre there no video/photos of the Bertram/Boucher indcident? Always wanted to see that - truly professional...

I don't understand why Komet fans insist in brining up the Bertram/Boucher incident all the time. Let the thing die already. It's an embarrassing incident to the players involved I'm sure, and it also draws negative attention to the franchise, that I, apparently unlike some of the so called Komets fans, truly love......LET IT DIE ALREADY

There used to be a youtube video of the incident. The Frankes probably payed somebody to take it down though, because Komets are truly the class of minor league hockey and never participate in that type of behavior.
