Patrick Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 That was sickening. The goalie footage. But if you look closely you can see a lot of blood pour out when he's going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRed Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 That is an amazing story. Complete freak accident. When that goalie got cut, 9 people fainted and 2 had heart attacks in the crowd. 3 players on the ice vomited. The medic that saved him served in Vietnam. He ran out and pinched off the artery. He didn't remove his fingers till the last of the 300 stiches where done. Both of these guys could have easily became the 3rd player in NHL history to die from an injury on the ice.

Rally Pat Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 My grandpa was a professional hockey player, and he started OSU's hockey program. I still dont know how he has all of his teeth, and in addition, he only screwed up his knees playing golf (of all sports). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 That was pretty nasty. the goalie one was worse IMO. He got cut and it was instant blood. This was nasty when they showed the trail of blood going to the bench. Glad he’s going to be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyhawke34 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 The Buffalo Sabres goalie that got his neck cut back in the day is Clint Malarchuk and he happens to be the Blue Jackets goaltending coach. There's an article in today's Dispatch about Malarchuk. http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/bluejackets/stories/2008/02/12/zednick0212.ART_ART_02-12-08_C1_N59B5G8.html?sid=101 Thankfully Zednik is ok!

HotCarl Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Man I was going to post this last night but forgot all about it. I've only read the stories on espn.com and si.com so I havent actually seen the footage. I thought I heard about a goalie incident but the only story I could find was the one involving zednik.

suffocateXfaster1647545505 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Zednick started pouring almost immediately after the initial contact. He's one lucky bastard to survive. At least someone acted instead of everyone running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. I wonder how Jokinen is feeling in regards to all this?

BlackC50 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Zednik is in stable condition and is able to talk. He lost 5 pints of blood, if it wouldn't of been for the staff the HSBC Arena he probably wouldn't of made it. He is still one tough S.O.B. being able to skate 3/4 of the ice to his bench before collapsing. One hell of a freak accident thats for sure. It just crazy both times that it has happened has been with Buffalo somewhere in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I play hockey and yeah, that is ridiculous. Now, your link also does not work anymore. I'm kind of dissapointed this happened because now they are going to bring back the NECK GUARDS to younger leagues. That was misfortunate and not much would have helped him seeing as how sharp those pros get their skates sharpened. I think thats the first time that has ever happened.

That was misfortunate and not much would have helped him seeing as how sharp those pros get their skates sharpened. I think thats the first time that has ever happened. Second. But your right, they will bring back neck gaurds for alot of younger players and leagues. You have to figure parents and players are already spending a couple hundred for equipment, why not spring for the extra 40$ or so for a piece that might actually save a life? Its just like face cages, i wear a cage and dont know how other guys in my league can go without one. I dont get paid enough to lose my teeth in a rec league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethepirate Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 i dont even wear a cage (tinted half shield FTW) definitely scary. it could happen so easily. ive cut my hands so many times getting ice off of my blades and taking my skates off..

Science Abuse Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 i dont even wear a cage . Are you already ugly? If so, there's nothing to lose! at least he had the present of mind to get the the medic. [gurgle]Put me back in coach![/gurgle] Watch, he'll be back at practice by the end of the month. I'm amazed he could skate that far. That spurt of half a pint essentially came straight FROM his brains good blood supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
