Defenseman Hal Gill of the Montreal Canadiens is listed at 6-7, 250 pounds.

How often does this sort of thing happen to the USS Hal Gill? Can he use revolving doors? Has he ever walked through the front of a car dealership window by mistake?
This led to a lengthy delay in the game, giving the Canadiens extra time to think about how they were being blown out by the Canes.
