Video: Roussel left writhing in pain after Despres nearly kills him.

Antoine Roussel has a reputation for being one of the least liked men in the National Hockey League. However whether you love him or hate him, watching him writhing in pain on the ice on Wednesday night was not a pretty sight. The Stars' Roussel was absolutely obliterated by a big time hit from Anaheim's Simon Despres, the result was Roussel crushed between Despres and the boards. It honestly looked like he may have been knocked out for a split second, before regaining consciousness. Roussel's toughness is beyond question, and to see him hurt like that was a scary sight.
