I was at the game, sitting right by the spot where he was hit.
If you ever have opportunity to sit with 18,000 people in a single room who are all wondering if they just saw a man's last moments, well... I'd pass on the expierence.

They couldn't even get all the blood off the ice. The game really shouldn't have gone on.

He's lucky they weren't using Rambo-brand skates -- would've torn his throat right out.

reminds me of my EMT training books. Everyone should have a new found respect for athletic trainers now. They are the first on the scene for nearly every serious sports injury you can think of.

When you look at SBA's screen grabs he one thing that strikes me in the first shot is the look of fear on his face. That is some really scary shit. I'll make triple sure my son's neck guard is on really good next time he hits the ice.

@Slothrop:
That was Clint Malarchuk, and guess who he played for. Yep, Buffalo. Coincidences suck sometimes. Then again, between these two hockey injuries and Everett's catastrophic injury, maybe Buffalo is the place to be if you seriously jacked up during a sporting event. They seem to know what they're doing there in terms of medicine.
