Tomas Surovy played 126 games in the NHL, scoring 27 goals over parts of three seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He hasn't suited up in North America since the 2005-06 campaign, and has spent the past three years playing for Lulea HF and Linkoping HC of the Swedish Elite League.
He's also representing his native Slovakia at the World Championships in Switzerland. Why is this relevant? Because during Saturday's 8-0 loss to the Czech Republic, Surovy had a meltdown of sorts and took out his frustrations on teammate Jaroslav Halak. Video after the jump.
Yeah, he just clubbed his own goalie over the head following Patrik Elias' goal to make it 8-0 in favor of the Czech Republic.
As Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy points out, Euro Hockey is making the argument that Surovy was actually trying to smash his stick off the crossbar -- he ended up doing so, anyway -- while Halak's head accidentally got in the way. Only Surovy knows his true intentions, but doesn't it appear as if he's looking right at Halak as he takes his cut?
