OK so this may not be the way you wanted to start your Monday morning, so we’ll give you ample room to take a satisfying sip of coffee, put down your mug and contemplate whether or not you’re prepared to witness the grossness that is Christian Ehrhoff’s ear after taking a puck to the side of the head in Buffalo’s 5-2 loss to Philadelphia Sunday night. There’s a gash. There’s a little blood. There are about 40 stitches. OK, you’ve been warned. Have you put your coffee down yet? Cue the spit take.

Happy Monday everybody, from THN.
