The NHL withdrawal star, Rob Ray, should probably dig up her old storage helmet if she will continue to serve as a track reporter.
The former Buffalo Sabers, 56, was working on the team's game against the visitors of the New York Rangers on Saturday night when he took out an album from the center of his forehead.
'Oh, f ***!' Ray undoubtedly exclaimed with unbearable pain.
As expected, this is the second time in two seasons that Ray has taken an album in his face while working as a reporter of the margin line between two NHL banks. He had a similar incident in December 2023 during a Sabres game against the Coyotes de Arizona visitors, only that Puck did not seem to hit with the strength of which he hit Ray on Saturday.
“And Rayzor only took another … and that was a rocket,” said Dan Dunleavy of MSG Network in Sabres's transmission, while using Ray's nickname. 'Doctors are reviewing Rayzor very quickly. That was very close to the eye.
The album seemed to get out of the stick of the left Beck Malenstyn, who immediately acknowledged that Ray had extreme pain.

As Dunleavy mentioned, Ray was quickly treated by the doctors of Sabers.
Of course, Ray was a hockey player, and like the last time he took an album on the track, the Native of Stirling, Ontario, managed to stay in the game.
“I arrived at a couple in the eyebrow, a couple of small stitches,” Ray told their transmission partners after sewing and returning to their track.
When asked where the album hit him, Ray turned sideways, showing a swollen wound to the size of a plum that grew in the center of his forehead.
“Just where the golf ball is here,” Ray joked. “That is not normal.”
Understandably fans forgave blasphemies in Ray's air.
“I think that is the right answer,” wrote a fan in X.
“It totally gets a pass for that,” added another.
A fan on Instagram expressed it better: “I think everyone agrees that you can say that when you take a album in the face.”
And, of course, many on social networks used the incident to make fun of the last sabers.
“Luckily it was a game at home,” a fan wrote, “nobody probably listened to it.”

Surprisingly, Sabres fighters won an 8-2 victory over rival ranges. Tage Thompson, Ryan McLeod and Rasmus Dahlin scored a couple for Buffalo.
Ray, a 6 -foot Canadian, was known for its hardness in 15 NHL seasons.
It is credit with 250 ice fights, according to Hockeyfights.com, which states that it abandoned gloves 27 times in 1995-96 and another 25 in 1990-91.
The NHL even created what is known as the 'Rob Ray rule' in response to its tactics of throwing their team to give opponents less equipment to understand during the fights.
Now, players who throw their shirt during a fight automatically receive misconduct of the game.
