Yup, did some research and found this.

MacInnis announced his presence to the league during his rookie season, when he scored on Mike Liut of the St. Louis Blues. MacInnis skated in from the blueline and blasted a shot that cracked Liut’s mask, knocked the goalie down and bounced into the net. The league took notice and started quivering in fear of No. 2’s shot. MacInnis quickly developed a reputation for putting players on the disabled list: In 1999, he injured teammate and goalie Rich Parent during warmups, breaking his protective cup and rupturing a testicle.

Ouch...could not remember the bolded part though.

I found Reggie Lemelin's remarks about McInnis's shot in practice funny.

''Usually, he was pretty good about it in practice, and he`d take something off the shot,'' said Reggie Lemelin, the Bruins` goaltender, who absorbed more of MacInnis` shots that he cares to remember in his years with the Flames. ''But if he hadn`t scored in a couple of games, he`d test it just to make sure he wasn`t losing it. The worst mistake you could make would be to stop one or two then. He`d just get madder.''
