Um….. EXCUSE ME!?!?!?!?
This just in, the St. Louis Blues have announced that forward Radek Faksa is out of the team’s lineup for tonight’s game against the San Jose Sharks after “an errant skate nearly made contact with his penis.”
When asked about the injury, head coach coach Jim Montgomery said, “I’m not a doctor, but it was real close to his privates. It could’ve been MUCH worse.”
Faksa suffered the injury in Tuesday evening’s win over the Vancouver Canucks after Canucks forward Danton Heinen accidentally struck him with his skate blade while falling.

Yeeeeeeeeesh… that’s a close shave.
It’s not known how long Faksa will be out of the Blues’ lineup, but he and his appendage are expected to make a full recovery.
