Speculating that he was knocked out was made up entirely during the course of this thread based on Alberts laying motionless on the ice post-hit. Doesn't mean he was knocked out, or even faking being knocked out. I recall being taught in minor hockey (and learning from experience) to lay still (if you can) if you think you've been hurt and try to position your body in a way that minimizes pain. That's pretty much what I saw in Alberts' movements and reaction.

All speculation on my part as well, but I don't believe Alberts was embellishing anything.
