Throat Slit
 
Florida Panthers winger Richard Zednik is in stable condition today after teammate Olli Jokinen, upended on the ice, inadvertently sliced open Zednik's neck during the third period of last night's 5-3 loss in Buffalo against the Sabres.

i've always wondered the frequency of this injury, as the skates are basically like knives

It doesn't happen often, but one wonders why players don't wear throat guards. I can see the argument against visors (i.e., the player can't see as well), but you can buy throat guards that are very unobtrusive. There's really no reason for not wearing one, other than looking cool for the puckbunnies.

Glad to read that Zednik will be OK. He's lucky he skated directly to the bench after the slash. He definitely would have bled out.

I remember as a young fella watching Clint Malarchuk get his throat slashed. This was just as bad.

Scary shit, indeed.

when i played the refs wouldnt let us on the ice unless we had a throat guard on.

LOL @ the pic, is that someone trying to pass him a bottle of water from the left? HEY BRO DRINK UP DUDE NICE PLAY MAN

Fucked up. Yes, i remember the Malarchuk incident also. That one looked a lot worse and he almost did bleed out.

Hockey players.....toughest in all of sports !!!

I heard the first thing he asked the doc was about if he would miss a game. That's one tough dude. Doc says he's out for the season.
