With the entire ice open to clear, he takes out the linesman instead.

You never want to see anyone getting seriously injured, and you certainly shouldn't laugh when they do, but there's just something so absurd about this play that I couldn't help but chuckle when it happened.

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Mark Fayne had the entire ice in front of him, and all he wanted to do was clear the puck, so what does he do? He fired a laser on linesman Darren Gibbs who was nowhere near the play, along the boards, and somehow still ended up getting hit by the shot.

The broadcast crew wasted no time to poke a little fun at Fayne as well as the Oilers in a whole, suggesting this was a microcosm of their decision making this game. Something tells me the next time Gibbs is on the ice and Fayne is involved in a borderline call he may not get the benefit of the doubt.
