10 février 2008 Panthers @ Sabres
Pendant le jeu, le coéquipier de Zednik, Olli Jokinen, s’est emmêlé dans le coin, a été renversé et son patin s’est relevé et a attrapé Zednik au cou. L’artère carotide de Zednik a été tranchée, laissant une traînée de sang sur la glace alors que Zednik se dirigeait vers le banc où il a été aidé par ses coéquipiers et un entraîneur.
Quelque temps plus tard, après avoir été transporté à l’hôpital, l’AP a annoncé que Zednik était dans un état stable, ce à quoi la foule a ovationné. Zednik a survécu à sa blessure traumatique.
Traitez-moi de fou, mais je doute vraiment que quiconque se soucie de savoir qui a gagné le match ce soir-là.

I remember hearing about this and hoping it was just a little cut. terrifying to see what actually happened.
Fuck me I can’t believe it was 18 years already.
The game went on after this? That’s pretty wild
I remember when that happened to Clint Malarchuk
Almost 20 years now and neck guards still arent mandatory and there will be a grandfather exception… NHL and NHLPA doesn’t care about player safety. The irony is almost all these players grew up playing with them their entire junior careers.
The faces on the crowd in pic 1 says it all.
This moment actually caused Clint Malarchuk to have PTSD from his own incident of this type back in 1989
Scary stuff
If I remember right, one of the main reasons that was credited as to why he survived was the sabres trainer. He was an army combat medic vet who pinched closed Zednik’s artery.
Panthers need to bring back this logo.
Who remembers Trent Mcleary getting a Chris Pronger slap shot point black in the throat. Saved by a pen stab to get some air in.
Holy shit… Is that Nathan Horton in a Mission helmet wearing the Reebok jerseys?
Doesn’t get any more « late 2000s » than that
THIS WAS 18 YEARS AGO?!?! Jeez yeah I remember seeing that not too log after my father showed me Malarchuk’s injury.
The faces on the people in the crowd tells you all you need to know.
If you haven’t read Clint Malarchuk’s article from The Players’ Tribune, take the time. It’s a wild story and shows how an incident like this never goes away.

Scary
And that’s from someone who saw the one & only time they replayed the Clint Malarchuk injury on TSN 😔
I was driving to my friends place from work and heard “this looks worse than Malarchuk.”
Ran into apartment and turned the game right on.
God damn. I remember causally turning on the game because it was the only one available to watch at the time. Shortly after, this happened. Also, whoever decided to show the slow me of Jokinen’s skate slicing in and blood pouring out can fuck right off.
