Josh Gorges Is Lucky

Wow. Remember last week when Montreal Canadiens defenceman Josh Gorges was hit hard in the back of the head with a puck when he went down to block a slapshot from the Washington Capitals' Mike Green? Well, you can watch the video here at YouTube, thanks to the great HockeyWebCast channel, or you can just check out the insanely perfect imprint of a puck the shot left on the back of his helmet.

Pretty much just as impressive is that, despite the scary few moments following the shot, Gorges was back on the ice at practice the next morning, and played in the Canadiens' final two games before the Olympic break.
