OUCH, Toews hurt in a game against the Canucks.

Here is a vicious hit by former Denver Pioneer Matt Pettinger on Former Sioux forward Jonathan Toews in the March 2nd game between the Chicago Black Hawks and the Vancover Canucks. The result of the questionable hit on Toews? Oh about 45-50 stitches to his upper lip. Matt Pettinger was then challenged by Cam Barker to a fight.

Here is what Toews had to say about his injury.

  1. From Chicago Sun-Times article:

    Pettinger, who came to the Canucks from Washington at last week's trade deadline, drew only a double minor for high-sticking but had to answer to Hawks defenseman Cam Barker, who jumped in to defend Toews.

    ''I can't blame anybody else,'' Toews said. ''I turned and didn't see it coming. Maybe I should keep my head up a little more. I've got to be smarter about it and ready for it.''

    Toews and Savard viewed tapes of the play, and neither blamed Pettinger.

    ''It was kind of a late hit,'' Savard said. ''It looked like [Toews] got his stick up and hit himself with his own stick, in a sense.''

    Said Toews: ''It might have been my own stick. I was trying to protect myself.''
