Scott Borders is in St. Agnes Hospital in Fresno, California after suffering a double fracture to a femur during the Fresno-Bakersfield game seven match-up. He underwent surgery yesterday and should be returning to the ice in 3-5 months. The big question on my mind is, what happened? Was there bad ice in the big “NO”? I put a phone call into Devin “Patchboy” Rossiter, the Condors Director of Broadcasting and Media Relations just to ask that question.
Devin indicated that ice conditions on the night of game seven were comparable to conditions during the ECHL all-star game held at the Save Mart Center several months ago. “The ice definitely wasn’t to the conditions with Fresno when concrete was exposed in an earlier game… I think we have to attribute Borders’ fall to losing an edge. He lost his balance from going to the puck hard and his momentum carried him into the boards.”
I phoned one of my other media contacts who saw a replay of the incident. “He clearly lost his balance, and it looks like his leg fractured when he went into the boards,” said Puck from The Puck Show.
But was it bad ice?
Scott Borders fell off balance, skidded out of control and shattered the toughest bone in his body—the mighty femur. I’m talking about a bone so tough that cavemen once used them to knock out Mastodons.
