Comedian Dane Cook has a skit where he describes watching a pedestrian get hit by a car. You see what’s coming the entire time and want to yell something like “You’re about to get struck by a vehicle,” he says, but can only utter some type of unintelligible gibberish that does nothing to warn the helpless victim-to-be.
That’s how we imagine Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper felt during the first period of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, when already-injured goalie Ben Bishop ventured far out of the net to play a puck with Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman and Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Sharp racing full-steam down ice toward the puck.
Hedman and Bishop collided, leaving Sharp all alone to bury probably the easiest goal he’s ever scored. Check out video of the catastophe in the tweet below.

Here’s hoping Bishop — and Cooper, for that matter — both are OK.
