Brass Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Yesterday, Monday May 3rd, ESPN ran a short segment on the Clint Malarchuk cutting his jugular vain on Sportscenter. Why did they do this out of nowhere? I don't know maybe they just needed something to know. In case you don't know what the hell I'm talking about. Listen up.In the early 90's. The Sabres were playing the Blues. When one of the Blues players and a Sabres guy, went down together, slidding into Malarchuk. The skate blade of the Blues player cut the jugular vain of Malarchuk. He was taken to the hospital, and within 3 weeks of this, was back into net guarding the Sabres goal.Here's the all the blood that was shed by this throat alone. WARNING: The following material is graphic. If you have a weak stomach, don't bother: http://ceedeerom.bizhosting.com/dek/zone/clintmalarchuk.jpgLittle did I know too, during this incident, in his childhood, and a little after, he was suffering from anxiety and something else also. I believe it was OCD. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC97 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Yeah Clint had a problem after this incident and it forced him to retire (he still played after this injury, but it was the anxiety that forced him out of the game a couple of years later)You gotta wonder what he was thinking as he's watching all of his blood pour onto the ice... i cringe if i knick myself shaving --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I saw it. Wow, I usually don't have a weak stomach, but man...that gives me chills.I think it was because of Shanahan getting cut by a skate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shmee Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Had heard the story before, but never in detail. I thought ESPN did a pretty good job on covering the story, even though it seems kind of random. (Was it the anniversary or something?) Anyway, I have a friend with OCD and I've seen what it puts him through, I can only imagine those struggles being magnified to the level of an NHL goaltender after such a horrifying incident.

MC Buffalo Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I think the major reason that Malarchuk is back in the spotlight now is that he is the Goaltending Coach for Florida and Roberto Luongo is the favorite to take home the Vezina trophy as best Goaltender in the league.

slapshot Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Didn't one of the Red Wings have hit face cut by a teammate's skate yesterday? I think it was Dandenault and he went down, and Shanahan skated over his face. I heard it was pretty nasty, but the news article on ESPN said he was patched up and returned to the ice later that game.

KCScout76 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I remember reading something about this years ago - I had forgotten about it. I did not know he returned to play that month. Man that's a lot of blood.

Brass Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 but the news article on ESPN said he was patched up and returned to the ice later that game. Now that's a hockey player.BTW, I think the real courage came, when within 3 weeks after this, he came back and made his start against Quebec. That's courage.

Actually he was wearing a standard helmet like the kind all goalies wore back then and today, but he wasn't wearing a plastic shield for his neck. It would of been prevented if he wore one. I think they were invented by then, but not sure. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckguy14 Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I missed the beginning of the story. I did notice him say to the trainer, "am I going to live?" on the video footage.
