Zednik's throat cut by teammate's skate

[Creasemonkey 30]

Cut very badly similar to Clint Malarchuk. Keep him in your prayers.

Caught a skate in the throat?

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Wow...just as he was really heating up.

[Creasemonkey 30]

Player went end over end, he caught a skate in the throat. Skated to the bench, went limp before they got him into the hallway.

Caught a skate in the throat?

Nope. Jokinen was checked, went up with his skate and hit Zednik in the neck. Blood shot out immediately. He is rushed to the hospital according to Panthers play-by-play... *still shaking from that incident*

[datsyukismyfriend 4]

wow, that sucks. is he going to be alright?

[Creasemonkey 30]

Reported in stable condition, being transported to hospital.

[edicius 3,269]

Holy s***...any updates on his condition? I know the only reason Malarchuk didn't die was because the first aid crew was on his end of the rink...

[datsyukismyfriend 4]

Reported in stable condition, being transported to hospital.

man I don't wanna watch that, and please don't post 'picture' of that one

Hope he will be ok

[Wings_Dynasty 267]

Sounds like they will be NOT be cancelling the game. Colin Campbell is there to watch his son play and he is the NHL official being talked to by the refs, as well as the coaches.

Just announced to the crowd. Stable and on way to hospital.

turned on the game as they were announcing to the crowd he's in stable condition. thank goodness.

[Hockeytown Red Wings 245]

Thats horrible.

[Rice 42]

Here are pictures:

Horrible injury. Hopefully he's okay.

[jim3033 1]

glad he's ok. wow.

Video?

Probably within the next couple of hours on YouTube. I saw the replay, and I don't wanna see that again. Very explicit stuff.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

is that a trail of blood on the ice there? wow.

[55fan 5,133]

Truely terrible. Hope he's ok. Makes me realize how fortunate Kronner was last year when he got it in the nose. Could have been much worse.

[kherty 3]

That's really scary....I hope he recovers soon.

[LeftWinger 5,132]

...truley horrible accident. I don't want to see it, wierd that Buffalo was one of the involved teams again. I remember the Buffalo/St. Louis game when Malarchuk got it. I got such an uneasy feeling in my stomach, yech!

...I do pray for Richard and his family, glad he is stable. Godspeed...

...on a bit of a lighter note, in this picture doesn't it look like that ref is wearing a diaper? Adult Depends maybe? LOL!

...get well soon Richard, the NHL is a worse place without you...

...also, check the look of horror on the kids behind the bench. I pray for them, they are certain to have nightmares after seeing something like that up close. I would!
