Yeah, I was wondering how it happened, then when I read how I was sorta mad. I'm not even a Devils fan, but jeeze.

Yeah, I was pretty ticked off yesterday when I heard about it. Here's another article on it with a bit more detail.

damn thats so cheap

Looking at the guy's career stats, he probably shouldn't even be playing hockey. This is the type of thing that happens when you have thugs who are only on the ice to run guys or fight.

Ouch, and ouch hard......

Gotta think there's a big potential for a McSorely/Brasher or Bertuzzi/Moore moment that will come out of something like that.

Another article... (registration is free if you want to read all of it, it's a good article)

It says he fractured his pubis bone (part of your pelvis), and recovery will take at least 4-6 weeks and possibly as long as 3 months.

"He said the agony of the injury was akin to being struck in the testicles, only more severe and longer-lasting.

"It's 10 times worse than that," Gomez said."

Also, "Aces co-owner Jerry Mackie told the Daily News on Sunday that an ECHL official told him Langdone would be suspended. The league had not announced such a ruling as of Sunday night."

Hopefully this guy gets a major suspension - hitting a guy with one foot in the door as he's entering the bench is just disgusting. One of his teammates described it as "disgraceful" and "probably the worst thing I've ever seen in my career".

This seems like a no-talent goon trying to make a name for himself by taking a guy from the show out. He's lucky it's the playoffs or you'd probably have NHLers that haven't been playing just lining up for ECHL contracts.

Ya it sucks. Its all over the front page of the paper here. Its too bad it happened and I won't be able to see him play anymore this season, the guy just dominates out there. But it was a crazy game 5 tonight, I just wish Langdone could have played tonight.

They showed the hit on the news here and it was pretty damn disgusting, horrible to watch.

Is there a video of this?

I saw it on TSN last night. It was pretty brutal, looked like a little kid flopping around after he tripped trying to get onto the bench. He did have 29 points last year, in his defense, which is pretty much 3rd/4th line numbers. Still a pretty gutless move by him.

ya I dont no if playing in the ECHL was the greatest move by Gomez although hes playing for an Alaskian team which is convenent for him but some times the league turns into a bit of a goon show
