Tkachuk high-sticks himself in the face and a penalty is called!

The Montreal Canadiens and their fans probably didn't find this call very funny at the time, but the rest of us can certainly enjoy it.

On Tuesday night Calgary Flames rookie forward Matthew Tkachuk delivered a high stick to himself albeit with a little help from Canadiens defenseman Jeff Petry, and unfortunately for the Habs they were called for a penalty on the play.

While the on-ice officials likely believed that it was Petry himself who had delivered  the blow it was in fact the stick of Tkachuk that did all the damage, and Petry was just a man at the wrong place and at the wrong time.
