Vokoun, who entered the game with a 2.74 goals-against average and three shutouts, was blindsided by Ballard after Ilya Kovalchuk scored at 8:54 of the first to give the Thrashers a 2-1 lead. Ballard attempted to break his stick on the goal post in frustration, but instead drilled his goaltender in the head.

Trainers tended to Vokoun on the ice and he was taken to an Atlanta hospital to be treated for a deep cut to his ear. He was alert and responsive on his way to the hospital

Voukon shouldn't have got his head in the way.

I'm glad we don't have him anymore, we couldn't afford our own players going after Miller.

Vokoun should have seen it coming and never put himself in such a vulnerable position.

Dare I say... it could've been worse? Ballard caught him with the edge of his blade on just the side of the head. He's lucky he didn't get him across the head with the entire blade/shaft.

I was thinking concussion, that ****** got lucky. Wouldn't be surprised if he was fined by the league for his careless actions. Everytime a player does that it should be an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, or at least 2 minutes.

The thing that gets me everytime is that after he sees he hit Vokoun he still swings at the post.

Douchebag.
