That's something Ivana Surovcova learned the hard way.Surovcova, the girlfriend of Kings forward Marian Gaborik, took a puck to the face during Los Angeles' game against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night. The result? Ten stitches to the side of the face, and presumably a scar that would make any hockey player proud.Surovcova was posted up behind the Kings bench when a flying puck came traveling into the stands and connected with the side of her face, according to a Puck Daddy eyewitness.She took it like a champ, though, posting to Instagram that she's now a real hockey girlfriend.Gaborik, himself, was impressed with her toughness.
