08:22 AM ET 12.31 | What are the odds? The wife of winger Ryan Shannon -- who was in a lower-bowl seat at a sold-out Scotiabank Place watching a 4-0 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes -- went home with a special souvenir from the "four or five" posts the Senators hit. Against all odds, the gift was from her husband. "When I hit the crossbar, the puck went over the netting and landed on my wife's lap," Shannon said Thursday of the third-period scoring chance. "She's got a bruise on her left thigh. ... Out of 20,000 people, it hit my wife." Shannon was quick with a quip when asked if he was aiming at his bride. "There was a Toronto Maple Leaf fan sitting next to her," he said. "But I missed by a couple of inches."

What are the odds??? Apparently not so long as we may think. An MLB player hit his own mom with a foul ball this past season. Hmmmmm ... ... ... Maybe mommy issues can make us do things.

Not really. He's a Senator so he wasn't aiming at her that's for sure. (Nice quote though)
Canuck eh?

My cousin made his first MLB start for the brewers against the reds about 8 years ago. He was pitching to Ken Griffey Jr and Jr fouled a pitch which my grandpa caught. This kind of stuff happens.

Shannon said, "She's got a bruise on her left thigh. ...."
Is that why he hit her?

If this was an NFL team there would be a whole different story.
