Zednik's throat cut by teammate's skate

[Lou_Siffer 1]

...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...

That gives a whole new meaning to saying a ref is full of s*** when he makes a bad call!

On another light note, that Panther with the visor kinda looks like Kopecky.

Malarchuk's injury was too hard for me to watch - I don't know if I can watch highlights tonight.

Hope he is doing well in hospital

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

Omg. I hope he's okay.

He's in my thoughts and prayers.

Your in our prayers Zednik.

...sure Malarchuks injury was almost 20 years ago, but either of these guys could have died on the ice if the cut was a little deeper or they didn't get off the ice fast enough. How long until the NHL mandates some kind of neck guard of sorts? Like I said, 2 incidents in 20 years isn't that much, but do they wait for a player to actually die until they do something? Someone, somewhere can come up with some sort of protection that doesn't restricted a players ability...

That is just awful. I can't imagine how scared Richard was. He's going to be having surgery. I really hope he'll be fine.

I hope he's ok. :/

Was is a jugular cut?

[wingnut40 176]

Oh c'mon that's all they show? That's really terrible! I hope he's OK. He's definitely in my prayers tonight.

...not unless this was an edited video, thank God they didn't catch the blood squirting out as he skated off the ice. Must have been pretty graphic for the fans and players though. You can see him go limp as they get in on to the bench, lost a lot of blood. SO glad he is ok and stable...

Wow, I started to feel light headed watching that. Hope he's ok.

[umredwing11 2]

OMG, that's so awful. Watching that video however reminds me of just how tough hockey players are. We have Dwayne Wade being wheeled off the basketball court for a sprained ankle, and here is Zednik getting himself off the ice with a life-threatening injury to his neck. Good to here that he is in stable condition and hopefully he gets well soon.

[tiff_luvs_homer 5]

poor guy, I hope he's ok...

[wingnut40 176]

Just wondering is he the one that looks like Daniel Craig? 'Cause I like him.

Was is a jugular cut?

The jugular veins are in the neck and drain blood from the head, brain, face and neck and convey it toward the heart

[HkyTwn 5]

poor Zednik.

[SouthernWingsFan 854]

Get better soon Zednik!

[Grind_Lines_#1_Fan 0]

Haven't seen it, but obviously hopefully he is alright

[wingslogo19 281]

I just saw the video of that, it's hard to watch.. I just really hope that Zednik will be ok and here's to a speedy recovery Prayers are sent

I know what they are, I was wondering if a jugular was cut, as opposed to an external carotid cut, or some lesser arteries/veins

Glad to hear he is in stable condition!!! Very disturbing, kind of wish I hadn't watched it, but curiosity got the better of me.
