So apparently this morning in Philly, Brendan Witt, a defensemen for the New York Islanders was hit by a GMC Yukon making an illegal left turn while he was crossing the street to get some coffee before his morning skate.
He saw the car coming and braced for impact. No one caught it on video, but here is an idea of what it looked like:
In reality though, he jumped up landing on the hood and then falling to the ground only to get up and starts hurling some most excellent curse words at the driver. He then said, “I’m okay…I’ve got to go play some hockey. I’m a hockey player. I’m okay. No big deal.” And he did, he left the scene, got his coffee and then went to his morning skate only to play a game several hours later.
Badass.
