Skating to the bench while losing pints of blood? The only way that this could have been more badass is if he fought a bear on the way.Florida Panthers forward Richard Zednik is in stable condition today after a freak injury that gashed open his throat. Zednik was injured when he was clipped by the skate of upended teammate Olli Jokinen. Fortunately, the skate only sliced the carotid artery and not the jugular, somehow giving him the ability to skate back to his bench and stave off death. If there's anything I've learn from Lost, it's that eastern Europeans are basically invincible, and this just proves that point.
Did somebody kill a badger on the ice?It took crews 15 minutes to scrape all the blood off the ice, no doubt giving the young children in attendance fodder for their nightmares for years to come. A foolproof way to turn your kids off sports in their developing stages is to show them a live event where a player nearly bleeds to death in the middle of it. Last night, Buffalo saw the birth of a thousand new Magic: The Gathering players. And even that may not be safe enough.
Well Zednik, that's what you get for playing hockey for a warm-weather city. If this game was in Florida you would have had to have prayed that one of the hundred or so fans in attendance was a doctor.
