Yeah, it was a bit of a funny one, wasn't it?  I feel terrible for Tommy 
Salo.  I heard about that newspaper mock-up of a commemorative stamp 
with the puck bouncing off his head...ouch!  I recall the story of a 
Canadian goaltender who once tried to block a commemorative stamp being 
printed by another country...depicting their player scoring a tournament 
winning goal on him.  Wait, I found the article...
