Linesmen saves player from a very scary injury

Wednesday night when the Calgary Flames took on the Nashville Predators, Michael McCarron and Dennis Gilbert dropped the gloves and as the fight was coming to a close, Gilbert came very close to suffering a dangerous injury, take a look.

As Gilbert is falling backwards, he nearly hits his head off the ice, but the quick thinking of linesmen Tyson Baker cradled his head making sure Baker protected Gilbert's head.

Had it not been for that linesmen, Gilbert would've likely smashed the back of his head off the ice. For everything the NHL officials are, have been and most likely will be, this is the brightest of bright spots for them.

Take a bow, baker, you deserve it.
