MONTREAL - The sight of George Parros laid out on the ice cast a long shadow on
Tuesday.

suffered a concussion early in the third period of the Montreal Canadiens 4-3
home-opener loss to the rival Toronto Maple Leafs after slamming face first into
the ice during a fight. Parros was knocked unconscious after a tussle with
Colton Orr - their second fight of an unruly game - brought him tumbling to the
ice. He fell hard on his chin while attempting to punch Orr, who was tugging at

verified Twitter account a few hours after the game, adding the hashtag
"classyfollowers." The hard-hitting Canadiens forward spent several minutes
motionless on the ice, attended to by the teams medical staffs, before being
taken off on a stretcher. The Canadiens announced that he was released from
hospital on Wednesday morning and is out indefinitely. "You never want to see a
guy get hurt like that," said Orr. "It was a scary situation. I just hope hes
all right. "It happened fast. I slipped and he came on top of me. The ice isnt
going to give." Parros and Orr have a long history. The two have fought each
other several times in the past, and Orr was injured in a similar fight with
Parros two years ago at Torontos Air Canada Centre. Parros, then with the
Anaheim Ducks, landed on Orr, who suffered a concussion and didnt play for the
rest of that season. Parros teammates are hoping he will be back with the team
soon. "Any time you see a guy go down — no matter what team hes on — its pretty
scary," said Canadiens captain Brian Gionta. "Hopefully things are all right,
and that hell bounce back quickly. "Its tough. You have a guy whos coming into a
new team and he wants to establish himself. He had a good game tonight stepping
up for his guys and protecting his guys. You never like to see him go down like
that." Shortly after the incident, Torontos Mason Raymond — in his first game
with the Leafs — put the game out of Montreals reach, scoring the eventual
game-winner. Brendan Gallagher thinks his team didnt react as well as they could
have after Parros injury. "Your emotions take you for a little bit of a ride,"
said Gallagher. "We would have liked to respond better. Its tough to see your
teammate down. Were human and we react like humans. "When it happens, its tough.
But as soon as the puck drops, you get back to playing. Knowing him and knowing
the person he is, hell recover and be in our lineup in no time." Parros injury
could reignite the debate about whether fighting has a place in hockey. But
Josh Gorges doesnt think it should. "I see more players get hurt from hits,
collisions, from pucks, than I do from fights," said Gorges. "I dont think
saying because a player got hurt in a fight that now we have to talk about
taking fighting away. And I bet that if you ask George (Parros), hell be the
first to agree with me on that one too." Parros joined Montreal this summer
after one season with the Florida Panthers. Tuesdays game was his first in a
Canadiens uniform. Montreals next game is Saturday, Oct. 5, at home against the
Philadelphia Flyers.

Custom Atletico Madrid Jersey . Remember the
Titans (2000)Sure this plot has been done to death. SEATTLE -- Josh Hamiltons
attempt to beat out an infield grounder with a headfirst slide into first base
landed him on the bench for up to two months. The 2010 AL MVP was placed on the
15-day disabled list Wednesday by the Los Angeles Angels with a torn ligament in
his left thumb. He was hurt trying to hustle down the line and beat out a
grounder in the seventh inning of Tuesday nights loss to Seattle. Hamilton was
thrown out, but the consequences of his decision ended up being far greater.
"The news sucks. Anytime you play and youre playing hard and having fun, the
last thing you want to do is do something that is going to cause you to miss
time and maybe hurt your team in the long run," Hamilton said. "If I could see
the future, obviously, I wouldnt do it." Los Angeles said an MRI Wednesday
revealed a complete tear of the thumbs ulnar collateral ligament. After
initially saying hand and wrist specialist Dr. Steven Shin would operate at
Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedics in Los Angeles, the Angels said Hamilton will be
examined by Shin on Friday to determine whether surgery is needed. Hamilton was
placed on the 15-day disabled list, and outfielder J.B. Shuck was recalled from
Triple-A Salt Lake. Hamilton said he believed it was just a jammed thumb, but
when he tried throwing in the outfield between innings he knew something might
be wrong. Hamilton told manager Mike Scioscia to have someone pinch hit for him
in the ninth. Ian Stewart batted for Hamilton and struck out with the potential
tying run on base in a 5-3 loss. "Its definitely unfortunate but I think as a
team you have to be able to absorb and be deep enough to absorb injuries to
players and Josh is a special talent who is off to a great start for us. Well do
our best to fill that void," Scioscia said. &qquot;Over the years, weve had
a lot of our key players miss significant time, but weve been able to absorb it
and move on.
Real Madrid Jersey. Thats what we have to
focus on doing now for the next six, eight weeks, whatever the time frame is
going to end up being." Scioscia said the Angels lineup could see mixing and
matching while Hamilton is out. Collin Cowgill was in the lineup in left field
and leading off, with Kole Calhoun dropped to sixth in the order and
Howie Kendrick moved up to Hamiltons usual No. 5 slot. A five-time All-Star,
Hamilton has struggled since signing a $125 million, five-year contract with the
Angels before the 2013 season. He hit a career-low .250 last year with 21 homers
and 79 RBIs, his poorest power numbers since 2009. He was batting .207 with 25
RBIs through June 23, then hit .289 with 54 RBIs during the rest of the season.
Hamilton strained a calf muscle during a baserunning drill on Feb. 25 and didnt
play in his first spring training game until March 17. He is hitting .444 with
two homers and six RBIs in 27 at-bats this season. Hamilton believes he can
still keep his timing down with his swing even while hes sidelined.
"Disappointing in general that youve got to miss some time, because as a player
you prepare the whole off-season to come in and do what you can to help
contribute to your team winning ballgames," he said. "Thats the most
disappointing part of the injury." The injury rekindled the debate about sliding
into first base. Hamilton wasnt the only player to make that choice in Tuesdays
game. Seattles Michael Saunders had an awkward slide into first base running out
a ground ball. "Its just part of who I am. Ive done that a lot," Hamilton said.
"Who knows if I will ever do that again?"
