Dion Phaneuf extremely lucky after taking nasty knee hit

The Maple Leafs captain somehow avoided serious injury after getting rolled up by Nazem Kadri.

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf is going to be sore one way or another after they get done with the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday.

Phaneuf limped off the ice late in the second period when he was rolled by teammate Nazem Kadri after getting hit by Sabres forward Marcus Foligno. After taking a look at how it went down, you'll be grabbing your knee in sympathy.

The incredible part of this? The intermission did him well.

How in the world do you come back from that?
