Man throwing television set off porch roof hurt in fall

11/19/2001

NIAGARA FALLS - A Tenth Street man suffered possible multiple fractures Saturday night when he fell 20 feet to the ground while throwing a television set off the second-floor porch roof of his home, officials said.

Bryan Allison, 24, was still being treated and evaluated Sunday in the emergency room of Erie County Medical Center, Buffalo, a hospital official said.

The accident occurred at about 9 p.m., when Allison and his brother, Justin, 19, decided to throw their 25-inch television set off the roof after they watched a 1989 NHL hockey playoff game on videotape and became upset over the outcome, Detective James Lincoln said.

must have been a real bad game or a real bad recording. Maybe the tape stopped before the final score?

Yeah, that caught my attention too. I mean, you can understand an ongoing game, that is, you're not surprised--but a game 12 years ago???
