this is why I don't play hockey.

Mark Recchi missed practice and could be sidelined Thursday after his throat was cut by a skate Tuesday night at Carolina. He received 19 stitches but the cut reopened early Wednesday and he needed more stitches.

I think it is a very good reason.

But what crime scene investigation show had an episode with a plot that involved someone being suspected of intentionally killing someone else with their skate during a pile-up?

I can't remember the hockey team's name. I think it was Las Vegas something though.

All this after they just had an interview with Clint Malarchuck talking about his near death experience 15 years ago. Scary, scary situation.

Vinatieri for Prez · 03-25-2004, 12:49 AM

CSI.

I am willing to bet that there are more serious injuries in football than hockey.

Suicane75 · 03-25-2004, 12:50 AM

Ive always found it fascinating that skates dont slice people more often and that pucks dont hit heads more often. But I was always afraid of falling thru the ice when I was little so I may just be a big pussy.

hockey will forever be a more brutal game then football. it's a longer season, much faster pace and equally aggressive. i've done both and hockey is much tougher on me then football ever was. theres more emotion to me in hockey and its just, its a game that has to be played to experience.

Maple Leafs · 03-25-2004, 10:16 AM

Ever have those discussions with your friends at the bar... "worst sports injury ever"? Someone talks about Moises Alou, Joe Namath comes up, usually somebody says they saw some gymnast snap his leg...

Clint Malarchuk is the trump card that ends that discussion immediately. Worst... injury... ever...

It was so bad that, apparently, he only lived because he happened to be in net at the end of the arena that had the ambulance. If it had been the next period, he could have died before they got to him.

Another terrible hockey injury: Trent McCleary takes a slapshop to the throat, goes down, then gets up and sprints off the ice so the doctors can open his airway before he dies.

Somebody will die in an NHL game some day, and it will be from a slapshot. Roenick was bad. Pronger came close a few years back when he took one right over his heart. But wait until somebody gets on in the temple. You watch, it's going to happen.

(And yet we spend more time arguing about the dangers of fighting, even though virtually nobody ever gets seriously hurt in a fight.)

Already happened, although the little girl was in the stands and not on the ice. Hence the nets behind the nets...

Pumpy Tudors · 03-25-2004, 08:43 PM

Ugh, I remember seeing the Clint Malarchuk injury on SportsCenter the morning after it happened. It's one of the most serious pro sports injuries ever for sure, but strangely, I was able to watch it six or seven times. I could only watch Moises Alou once, and I couldn't watch Jason Kendall at all.

I'm not saying that Malarchuk's wasn't as serious as those other two (it was obviously much more serious), but I somehow found a slashed, gushing throat more watchable than a broken ankle and whatever the hell happened to Jason Kendall (which, as I said, I still haven't been able to watch to this day).

With that said, I didn't even realize that this had happened to Mark Recchi, but I'm glad I wasn't watching that game on NHL Center Ice that night.

If you don't like hockey injuries then you really don't need to see what I've done to bbor's ass in fantasy hockey this year...

Draft Dodger · 03-25-2004, 09:01 PM

i seem to recall someone's face being stepped on (accidentally) once in front of the crease. but I can't remember any specifics, other than I thought it was gruesome.

Kevin Steven's faceplant was a pretty scary thing to watch. Tim Krumrie's leg snapping in the SuperBowl wasn't fun to watch. Joe Theismann's always freaked me out, until I started having to endure him as an analyst; at that point, I started watching it daily to make me smile.

As a late-blooming hockey fan, I've always regretted not learning to skate. But yet, every game I watch I am almost constantly thinking about the razor sharp blades strapped to the bottom of everyone's feet. I simply can't understand how fingers aren't sliced off all the time. I don't think I could overcome that fear.

DD the gloves you wear are pretty much slice proff. You might bruise or break a finger, but there are think pads and tough material on the gloves....

I got my face sliced once by a skate, but it was like any other scar I have it happens

Which is why they need to stop making better sticks. Its getting to dangerous in that regard. Same thing in a golf and tennis, its just not life threatening there.
