Flyers' Thoresen injured by shot to groin
WASHINGTON - Flyers left wing Patrick Thoresen was taken to the hospital for tests after getting hit in the groin
WASHINGTON - Flyers left wing Patrick Thoresen was taken to the hospital for tests after getting hit in the groin by a shot during Philadelphia's 5-4 loss to Washington on Friday night.
"He's going to the hospital to get an ultrasound done on his testicles. It's bad enough they may have to remove one," Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said. "Right now, we're not sure how serious it is, but there's a chance he may need surgery."

Freakin refs wouldn't even stop play as the guy's lying on the ice for 10-15 seconds in obvious pain. It obviously wasn't one of those "I'll just kneel here for 2-3 seconds then get up and skate off" kind of hits. Then again, I guess most officials wouldn't understand a shot to the testicles.
Good way to create a 5 on 3 power play. Would love to see the situation reversed, then see how quickly the whistle blows.

Oh please, even Holmgreen agreed that it didnt look like a typical play where they blow it dead. Calm down Flyer fan
Correct non-whistle...He was moving...Though in pain...If he would of stayed still the whistle would of blown immediately.
after a nut shot, unless I'm knocked out cold, I don't know how I wouldn't be writhing...ugh.
back on our college lacrosse team, one of our midfielders took a shot right to the cup, broke it clean in half. He laid in bed for about a week before he could walk around. glad he didn't lose one of the boys.
Well Thoresen was released from the hospital, both nuts still with him and he might even play tomorrow if you believe Holmgren.
And yes, it was the right call. The refs can't tell where it hit him. If he was bleeding all over the place or not moving, the refs would have been right to blow the whistle, but at that instant, it wasn't obvious where the puck hit him.

First off, Deuce, it's Holmgren, not Holmgreen. And you'll have to excuse me for being a bit excited about my home team being in the playoffs. Oh wait, you'd have no concept of that now, would you?
From what I've read in this forum in my short stay by you fans, the Kings could have used a few cans of DelMonte themselves the past few years.
Deuce may look like a retart for misspelling the general managers name, but he had a point. Even in watching the replay it is clear he is in pain, but unless someone is knocked out you're not gonna get a whistle as fast as would have been needed to stop that goal from happening.
Also, you've may have been reading for a while but youve only been posting for about 12 minutes so you havent exactly earned the ability to skate onto a Kings board with what could be confused as a Kings supporting handle and a) talk **** to a regular and b) assume anyone knows where you live.
