1st of all, FStyrman took my video, and the discription! i'm the original creator of this discription.
The brutal tackle took place in the first period of the prestigious meeting of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens. Away Team forward Tom Kostopoulus came in full speed and tackled Mike Van Ryn from behind so badly that he struck in the head in the sarge and sailed down.
It took several minutes before the 29-year-old Van Ryn got his head clear and was directed away from the ice before the audience in a crowded Air Canada Center.
- It was a really ugly tackle, but thats what can happen in a match like this. Fortunately, we got them to pay, said teammates Matt Stajan.
Apologized
what Stajan is aiming at is that Toronto won the match with 6-3. But afterwards, it was still alot of talking about the tackle, which could have had worse consequences.
Tom Kostopoulus, who received match penalties, was noticeably shaken when he commented on the incident and wanted to ask Mike Van Ryn sorry.
- I tried to get in there, tackle and get hold of the puck. I could not foresee that he would go on and could not stop myself. I hope he is okay, "said Tom Kostopoulus to the AP.
Mike Van Ryn hand and broke his nose, got a big jack in the forehead and suffered a concussion. He is expected to be away from the game for a month.
