For this Throwback Thursday we go back to May 22nd of 2011. At the time current Minnesota Wild player Keith Ballard was a member of the Vancouver Canucks, and his team was taking on the San Jose Sharks. During the game Ballard showed the world that he has a special magical power, the ability to make sharks fly through the air like a bird. Ballard delivered a picture perfect hip check on the Sharks Jamie McGinn that sent him end over end, it's really quite beautiful, although Mcginn probably wouldn't agree. Here's the video courtesy of the NHL.
