Juror Flirting With John Edwards
Obama's Pot-Smoking Detailed
Hall, the Edmonton Oilers rookie star, got into his first fight as a pro on Thursday and injured his left ankle in the process, CBC reported. Hall was scheduled to have an MRI today and did not travel with the team for its next game. Considering that Hall leads the team in goals and assists, his absence will most certainly be felt.
Video of the fight, promoted here by the aptly named site Hockey Fights, shows Hall twisting his ankle as he is pulled down by the Columbus Blue Jackets' Derek Dorsett.
News of the latest NHL fighting injury comes a day after researchers released a report on former star Bob Probert's untimely death. In Probert's case, repeated head trauma from concussions caused by on-ice fighting led to a condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.
Though Hall's injury may not be career threatening, the timing of a high-profile brawl ending in medical tests is the last thing the league wants in the news right about now.
