Hockey

So how about that guy this weekend from the Flordia Panthers that got his neck slashed with a skate. That was about the strangest thing I have ever seen happen in hockey. The only thing in all of sports that might be stranger was when Randy Johnson hit a bird with a pitch. Basically what happened was this guys teammate fell over going after the puck and Zidnik was trailing the play and when his teammate was falling over his skate went up in the air and hit him right across the neck and cut his corated arterey. Lucky for him the training staff was very quick to act and helped him out right away and they were able to fix the artery and save his life. I do not think that there will be any measures to help prevent this from happening again just because this is such a rare occurance in hockey that it probably and hopefully wont happen again for a while.
