5hole Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Steve Duchesne took one for the team (so to speak) today in Quebec's eventual victory taking a brett hull slapshot directly to the face to save a wide open net. Duchesne's face broke upon impact shattering into dozens of pixelated bits as he screamed for God to kill him now in front of thousands of horrified and slightly nauseous fans at Le Colisee. When asked about what he was doing out of the crease Big Ron Hextall was quoted as saying he 'saw something shiny in the crowd' and meandered off to get a closer look. Ron would later rush to Steve's side whereupon Steve gave Hextall the traditional 'middle finger-up' sign to signify he was ok. According to coach 5hole, Ron feels awful and has offered to take Steve to Sizzler or 'maybe even Village Inn' when he gets out of the intensive care ward. As of this print, Steve is in hour 13 of facial reconstructive surgery. While it is not clear what he will look like after, here is a staff artists rendition of the likely outcome BEFORE AFTER Steve, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
