29. Presented without comment, from the outstanding Instigators radio show with Andrew Peters, Craig Rivet and Brian Gionta on WGR in Buffalo. In round one of the 2006 Stanley Cup playoffs, Montreal led eventual Stanley Cup champion Carolina 2–0. Saku Koivu had two assists in the first two games, and was injured by an accidental high stick in Game 3. But there was another injury, as Rivet — Koivu’s roommate — said in an incredible story.
After the pre-game skate and lunch buffet ahead of Game 3, they went back up to the room. While getting dressed, well, I’ll let Rivet take over:
“We sprinted down the hall, met at the bathroom at the same time…. Obviously because Saku was quicker, he beat me there. But I always had to have the last laugh, so I blew him up into the back of the toilet bowl. Water started pouring out of the toilet because we completely obliterated it, water was flooding our room…. He’s yelling at me, ‘Call the trainer! Call the trainer!’ He walks down the hall to grab his phone and all of the sudden I was gasping because there was blood all down his back, all down his butt — you couldn’t even see his butt, and he was naked, by the way. I wipe him down with a white towel — which is even worse, right? — just to see where the blood was coming from, and there was a gaping, open wound coming out of his back. It was the most disgusting thing; it was humongous how deep it was.”
Koivu missed the bus to the game because he was taken to a private hospital.
“He couldn’t touch his toes, but he was able to play. I don’t know how he did it.”
Koivu did get hurt by the stick, and Montreal lost four in a row as Carolina won it all.
How did the coaches not strangle Rivet?
“Because I think we told them he slipped on the floor.”
Too bad Saku didnt miss game 3
