Senators’ Milan Michalek All Smiles After Getting Leveled Into Own Bench (Video)

Dallas Stars winger Antoine Roussel should have been credited with an assist on an Ottawa Senators line change Saturday night.

Early in the first period of the Stars’ eventual 3-1 win, Roussel sent Senators winger Milan Michalek tumbling into his own bench with a big check at the blue line. Michalek disappeared behind the boards momentarily but quickly popped up, smiling from ear to ear, and took his seat on the pine.

Here’s a guy who can appreciate a good hockey hit.

Check it out in the video below.
