Stan Mikita's Bowling Injury


Okay, so the title is a little bit misleading. But still, I could not help but chuckle when I read this quote from Stan Mikita about his most painful injury.
Somehow the tongue of the skate didn't stop a darn thing. It cracked a bone in there. I remember coming home from the hospital on crutches. I sat down on a chair and fell asleep. My son Scott – for Christmas he got those plastic bowling pins and the ball. All of the sudden I felt the most painful, excruciating pain in my life. He swung the pin and hit my foot. I'll never forget seeing him standing there with a smile on his face."

Probably a smile like Stan's on that card. BTW Stosh has a new book out,
