Here's the tandem crying about it:
Quote:
“I think it’s something that is going to be discussed through the league, because you never see that in a game – a guy having full speed on a slap shot between the hash marks,” Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom said. “And it can be that some goalie gets injured.”
..
Backstrom took a Dion Phaneuf slap shot in the left collarbone in a 3-2 shootout loss to Calgary on Jan. 16. Jarome Iginla scored on the next shot to win the game for the Flames, and he joked afterward that Phaneuf might have softened Backstrom up.
Wild goalie Josh Harding said whether Phaneuf’s shot was intended for Backstrom or the net is immaterial. Going up high with a slap shot from between the circles “is just pure dangerous. You go up by the ears, by the shoulders, it doesn’t even look like you’re trying to score – it looks like you’re trying to take a guy out.”

So not head, but still why can't I find it?
