Last night in the Florida Panthers game visiting the Buffalo Sabres, Richard Zednik was seriously injured having his carotid artery severed in a freak accident in the third period. He was cut unintentionally by teammate Olli Jokinen as Olli was being check off the puck and a skate went high. Immediately, the blood began streaming and Richard Zednik with brave thought immediately put pressure on his neck and courageously skated to the bench where he was helped by players and medical staff. He was rushed to hospital and underwent surgery to close the wound. The latest news as of this morning is that he is in stable condition after surgery but will remain in hospital for an undetermined amount of time. I wish him all the best in his recovery from a very scary injury. Here is a video clip of the incident.
I remember the Clint Malarchuk incident in Buffalo when his neck was cut while playing in net for the Sabres. It freaked me out back then...and this kinda freaked me out now.
