This particular thing was John Tavares, if I recall.
Too funny man, bravo.
Anyone got a video of it anyhow?

Running into the boards at speed would have this effect too though wouldn't it?
MCL is front of knee, acl is inner side of knee. (Knee caving inwards can tear either)
Pcl is back of knee (tears if knee bends back)
LCL is outside of knee. 4 ligaments. Anterior(front) posterior(back) medial(inner) lateral(outer)
Pcl and LCL are also the smaller of the 4 because the knee rarely needs to flex out or back
(Also, I've heard of MCL and ACL....where's the PCL? )
Make sure you never tear your KCL (Kontinental Cruciate Ligament), it hurts like hell
Would him admitting this be a Dashboard Confessional?

The tibia has to be pushed back from the knee joint/femur, which would be pretty hard to do unless you hit the top of the boards along the dasher with your knee in a bent position.
Why is it permanently torn? I've never heard of something like this
Damaged ligaments can atrophy and dissapear. R.A. Dickey for instance is missing an important ligament in his throwing elbow...It's why he had to switch to the knuckleball.
Didn't Dickey switch because he was simply awful and needed to do something, anything and turned to the knuckleball as a last ditch effort to revive his career? I know he was originally drafted by Texas, and then they basically offered him nothing with his bonus after doing a physical and finding no ligament(the same ligament that requires Tommy John surgery).

It's "permanently torn" because you can think of ligaments like a rubber band in your body. Muscles restitch themselves, but ligaments do not once the two ends are 100% torn apart from each other and no longer connected. They can be surgically replaced, though, and I don't know how crucial a PCL is (I've only had my own ACL replaced) but if it is vital to his performance, then I'm sure he will have surgery to do that.
