salo.... my god.. that would be fuking hurt

That hurts just to think about

it would fully explain why he was down for so long... :(

poor guy. wonder why he always gets injured...hopefully he has a full, speedy recovery

might be a stupid question....but the players wear jock straps so there's protection, unless the shot broke the jock strap too?

^ he fell awkwardly, maybe he twisted his own balls ?? im not quite sure, because i didnt really see the puck hit the groin area at all


damn, im so glad they won.... it seems like there is a slightly hope afterall, coz we are coming home !!!!!!

The thing I love when canucks win is when the haters here aren't posting but I bet they are just roaming around still hahaha...

Winning tonight sets the stage for a comeback and a win in game 7 :), theres really no way we should lose next game at home.

I said to my parents during the intermission "imagine he ruptured a testicle"

They argued and said it was his arm..

They showed the replay and it looked like the puck just hit him in the midsection. The puck was nowhere near his groin so this whole 'ruptured testicle' news was complete shock to me.

maybe his package is higher then most people :haha::haha::haha::haha:

the cup's not foolproof
its supposed to protect your balls as much as possible but sometimes it hits you in a certain angle or spot and you really feel it and in Salo's case - broke his balls

Hahahahaha

Before the game he must have told God: "I'd give my left nut to win this game"

God said "Deal!"

It's great to see Bieksa not being a total liability, and using his offensive skills like when he was to get his contract

great game tonight... hopefully we can tie it up at home

i didnt know you could even rupture a testicle!! my god i cant even imagine


good game tonite. huge departure from game 3. we went back to playing our game and not falling into chicagos game.

and it was nice to see bieksa do some good. i think people forget hes always been an offensive D man. hes never been an overly good defensive player and does make mistakes, but they are really showing this year with the defensive roll hes had to play with mitchell out and ohlund gone.

Salo's balls arent ruptured as per Jason Botchford's twitter

What if he said Stanley Cup instead of "this game"?!

That was a good game by Luongo. Credit where credit is due.

I was really impressed by O'Brien more than anyone though. Playing big minutes and doing it well. Not looking fwd to our D on Tuesday though.

So are you back on the bandwagon now? What happened to all of your 'trade Luongo' comments?

Just because I'm not on Luongo's nuts everyday like most of this forum doesn't mean I can't recognize when he does play well.

Objectivity: That's the difference between a FAN and a FANBOY like you.

So because I support the team day in and day out, win or lose I'm a fan boy? Then please enlighten me on what a fan is. Someone who supports the team only when they are winning and jumps down their throat when they are losing...Like you?

Pretty sure Rome's ready to play.

At first I thought Salo got hit in the wrist, then when he curled up on the ice, I thought the puck got through and cracked a rib.

When OB got hit, I knew he'd get a quick stitch and be right back out. There was no way he'd leave the game with that injury.

This guy belongs on the Canucks forum.
