A scary moment as Tampa Bay Lightning’s Dan Girardi takes a one-timer slap shot from Detroit Red Wings’ Martin Frk to the side of the head, while blocking a shot. He skated off on his own accord.
Al MacInnis said in an article that he didn't like taking one timers for this very reason. He knew he could hurt people with his shot. Marty needs to add more than just a cannon if he wants to stay in the big leagues .

I don't think it knocked him out, show some respect
Wow. I just read about this, now I'm seeing it! That's DETROIT for ya. Real classy team.

Good on Wings fans, players and staff… that's a scary situation that doesn't come up often, but is part of the game. All the best on the recovery Dan.
I don't like to see players get hit in the face, but at least it wasn't anyone good.
Stop blocking ridiculous shots.
Nice respect from the crowd and red wings players, especially considering this is a pretty intense rivalry.
Too bad it want tyler Johnson
Didn't even know Domingue was on Tampa, let alone the backup goalie. I thought Budaj was their backup
Someone said Girardi could survive a nuclear explosion and they’re so right
Damn…thats awful
2 minutes for embellishment
Holy that is the perfect video to explain American announcers
Hockey yet again proving why their players are the toughest athletes in the world.
Cut the bullshit..he didn't get ko'd
Acting worse than soccer players. Threw his hands up and spun before the puck even hit him.
..and you wanna be my latex salesman!
I'm and Lightning fan so I hate the wings but their fans have class
Really had to drop the mitts tho
109.2
Now 2020 I can believe that hurts.
That's a 109mph shot to the dome and he got up in less than 30 seconds!
Watching this now, knowing Frk has the hardest recorded slapshot ever, makes this even more crazy. Man, poor Girardi

Real Sweet Kids rise up
109 right in the noggin. I’d never block one of his shots
