Extremely terrifying moment to watch live on TV. He is in serious but stable condition after surgery 90 mins ago. Major prayers to him.

Oh my. I think I’ll skip watching the video. Just reading about it sent chills up my spine.

True story - I saw the Malarchuk news clip 20 years ago...and that was the one thing that scared the s*** out of me, about playing ice hockey...so much so that even when I did start playing hockey in 1993, it was roller...and that’s all I did until around 1998, when I started with ice.

Thoughts and prayers to the Zednicks, to Olli Jokinen (former L.A. King), and to all who were involved.

That headline made me think the guy had been attacked after the game.

His neck was cut by a skate. I think of that as ‘throat cut’ not ‘throat slashed’.

You need a slasher, to have it slashed, and I haven’t heard that this was a case of malice.

Hope the guy is doing well.

I saw it after I got home on NHL Network...a very scary and sobering momment. Hopefully, it was a clean cut that can be repaired fully.

"When you see something like that, it isn't about playing anymore.

Say what you want, hockey players (in general) are some of the classiest guys in sports.

Off topic, slightly -- but in the comedy Blades of Glory there is mention of a ice-skating move called "The Iron Lotus" which had ended up with very similar results...

Prayers up!
