You've got to be kidding me
Apparently he was speared in the 3rd period by Spurgeon. It happened on the 5 on 3.You've got to be kidding me
He was. Pretty slimy, too. His back was turned to Spurgeon, and Spurgeon was pretty deliberate about jabbing his stick into the soft spot behind Palat's knee, i.e. the old reflex thing to get someone's knee to buckle. Palat's knee buckled and he his ankle got twisted under him in an awkward way. Pretty much the Stralman injury. So, high ankle sprain, maybe? Hopefully?Apparently he was speared in the 3rd period by Spurgeon. It happened on the 5 on 3.

That was a pretty innocent play. Just very unlucky how Palat landed. Even last year only Johnson's injury was a result of the Wild being dirty.
I wouldn't call that innocent. Spurgeon couldn't have known that Palat would fall like that, but he absolutely knew what was going to happen if he jabbed his stick into the back of Palat's knee and Palat didn't know it was coming.That was a pretty innocent play.
