The guy who did the chop isn't even wearing the same jersey as the other guys (he's got the away version, everyone else is wearing the home version). Probably someone's brother that got invited out to fill out the roster for the night when the team was short.
And it's definitely the guys helmet - the guy that got hit would be in pain if the stick was broke over his shoulder. You have to slow it down and watch it frame by frame to see it on the head.
...and why the heck was anyone taping this?? Local cable must be hurting for content.
