Because he has now accidently shot himself in the chin.
Former Buffalo Sabres goalie Clint Malarchuk apparently accidentally shot himself in the chin Tuesday with a .22-caliber rifle at his Fish Springs residence, according to the Record-Courier of Nevada.
Malarchuk, 47, was taken to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno by helicopter. Douglas County sheriff's deputies were investigating the incident Wednesday to determine if the shooting was accidental, the paper said.
Officers were dispatched to the Malarchuks' home at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday after his wife reported her husband accidentally shot himself, according to reports. When deputies arrived, the paper said, he was sitting on a bench next to a horse tack storage room, bleeding profusely from his chin and mouth.
Malarchuk's wife said when she arrived home from work her husband was in the backyard, and said he had been shooting rabbits with a .22 rifle. She said Malarchuk stood and placed the rifle butt on the ground between his legs and the rifle discharged, striking him in the chin.
He reportedly was belligerent with paramedics and with health center staff, refusing treatment.
