On February 10, 2008 in an NHL game between the Florida Panthers and the Buffalo Sabres, Panthers forward Richard Zednik had his neck injured by Olli Jokinen, a team-mate and Panthers captain who tripped over the leg of Sabres forward Clarke MacArthur. Olli Jokinen’s skate cut a deep gash on the right side of Richard Zednik’s neck, puncturing his external carotid artery, letting blood squirt uncontrollably over the ice.
Richard Zednik was quickly taken to a Buffalo hospital and recovered from the injury, however he missed the rest of the season. No need to tempt the devil, I guess.
Video below is a compilation of videos offering various camera angle views of Richard Zednik’s neck injury. As commentators can be heard saying, similar accident happened to Sabres goalie Clint Malarchuk likewise in Buffalo on March 22, 1989. Clint Malarchuk had his internal carotid artery completely severed and blood gushed out of his neck like mad. I will post that video later. Meanwhile, the multi-angle video of Richard Zednik’s neck injury is below:

Oh my God, morning sex and gore. This is heaven.
just sayin. . .
Perfect way to celebrate getting out of the hospital early because I have no health insurance. Oh well, at leastt they shot me up with some great painkillers before they rolled my ass out the door!
I love sex and like to remember him.
@rebelk- Sounds divine! Morning sex has always been my favorite- and afternoon… and.. Lol
Idk what any of the other ladies think, but these hockey players are soooo damn sexy!!! Mixed with a little blood, and damn..
I forgot what morning sex is like…come to think of it I can’t even remember what mornings are like.
@bb- if you ever would like a reminder, I’d be glad to help.. It always makes me feel good on the inside, to be helpful..
…its times like that i hate being an antisocial virgin…
Off topic but wanted to say this. So what if we get rid of the jihadists, we will never live in peace. Western world against the Middle East, i’m so sick of all this bullshit. our planet is so fucking tiny yet so many of us think we are the centre of this universe – we are nothing but floating dust.
It’s so naïve to think everybody can get along but we should, it all comes down to our fucking EGO, survival of the fittest, yet many hands can make light work.
existentialism is a bad disorder.
Disambiguation or Quantification ?
Gosh this was terrible. I remember the incident with the goalie back in the eighties. Amazing that people can survive this. I’ve said it before “hockey ain’t for pussies.”
Funny that this is posted, I just commented about this the other day. Well actually Malarchuk’s slash. But this video was okay. The video of Malarchuk’s is better I think. Either way they are both a pretty brutal spot to get hit on. Plus…I LOVE hockey bitches!
I didn’t mean to post this under you Señor Piggy. My apologies.
That was a lot of blood very quickly. It gives me an idea of the bleeding a machete victim has while being hacked to death.
I’m actually surprised we don’t have more incidents like this in hockey, especially pucks to the face.
@Broke, were you the commentator in the video, or do you just like repeating what they say? LOL.
What they say.
that would be so cool
So, who won…Florida or Buffalo?
Buffalo won 5-3.
Thanks
Glad he lived, now comes the crazy ass scar he will have.
Malarchuk’s was a lot more brutal and severe, but still.. tough game.
Wow, that was pretty hardcore!
