Wild player trapped by impossible stick through both skate blades

Hockey is weird, you guys.

The sport of hockey is a game of finesse, a game of speed and skill that rules over a dominion of ice where players strap knives onto their feet for fun. Hockey, by definition, is strange. But it just got a bit weirder.

Arizona Coyotes defenseman Connor Murphy managed to catch one Minnesota Wild forward by the skates Thursday evening.
