Sabres Broadcaster Rob Ray Takes Puck to Face During Live Game Commentary
The former NHL enforcer continued broadcasting after the injury, which left him with a cut and a swollen bump above his eye.
- Rob Ray, Buffalo Sabres commentator and former NHL player, was struck in the face by a deflected puck during Saturday's game against the New York Rangers.
- The incident occurred late in the first period as Rangers defenseman Will Borgen attempted to clear the puck, which ricocheted into Ray's face.
- Ray's immediate reaction, including an expletive, was captured on a live microphone, though he quickly resumed commentary despite the injury.
- The injury resulted in a cut above Ray's eye, a swollen bump described as 'golf ball-sized,' and broken glasses; he received stitches later in the game.
- Known for his toughness as a player, Ray, who was inducted into the Sabres Hall of Fame last month, has previously continued broadcasting after similar injuries.
