The lighter side of Sami Salo

Everyone knows the Vancouver defenseman is a top-four blue liner for the Canucks, but perhaps you were unaware that he's also quite the comic.
Salo took 10 minutes to speak with the media following Vancouver's afternoon skate on Wednesday to discuss the "lower-body" injury that sidelined him for Game 3. Well, at least that's what we thought.
One reporter asked Salo. "So what exactly was your injury? Was it ankle, knee, groin …"
"Yeah, that's close," Salo replied. "Or maybe it's just a burning sensation when I pee. Who knows?"
Whaaat?
Not only did every reporter burst out laughing after the comment, but it also sent a female reporter rushing to the exit.
