Devastating injury out of the EIHL tonight. Former NHLer Adam Johnson had his neck slashed by a skate and it does not sound good at all.

This doesn't sound good at all. Hope he pulls through.

I'm starting to think that Slafkovsky could become the biggest bust as a 1st overall pick.

Patrik Stefan and Nail Yakupov are not high bars to clear.

True. And that is the scary part!

Saw the video (don't recommend watching it), and it's worse than Malarchuk. It's a wonder if he pulls through.

Yeah I saw the video as well.


It's extremely bad.

Has there been any update on the injury? I’m not looking for the video but I would love to know if he survived

 

[the_fan]

Same old Pens. They have the best game of their lives against the Avs, then completely shit the bed against Ottawa tonight

Twitter says he passed away

Unconfirmed reports that he has passed away but nothing official yet.

What a day to be a Sens fan

Well, turns out these guys were onto something. Friedman also confirmed on HNIC that NHL is going to hand down punishment to the Sens during the upcoming days

Gotta come up with some kind of a neck protector. This is a very sad news

 

[expatriatedtexan]

My wife was just showing me a video she came across about a dude creating a company to make cut resistant underclothing. I think the shirt he was designing was more for youths but it was a turtleneck which hopefully will be able to prevent something similar in the future.

This just sucks.

Twitter says he passed away

Who?

 

[the_fan]

Who?

Who passed away or who on Twitter said it?

its kinda crazy that we dont see more incidents with skates especially when guys are in a dogpile scrum

Yeah, they really need to do something about it. Those skate blades are pretty much sharp knives and hockey is a fast and physical game

 

[The Kingslayer]

Vancouver looking solid to be real. Maybe they make the playoffs.

 

[McMetal]

Jesus, the violence of the collision in the EIHL with the skate blade makes the Malarchuk and Zednik incidents look like papercuts. Grainy video quality (mercifully), but it's hard to imagine how a person could survive a wound like that.

It's honestly a miracle that Malarchuk survived his injury, only the towering heroism of the trainer was able to save his life that day. I certainly hope that Johnson was so lucky.

[Metallo]

Absolutely tragic. Our hearts go to anyone that was close to him. I also feel bad for the guy that hurt him, he must be devastated and he needs help.

 

[Ceremony]

A total freak accident. Horrible.

 

[The Merchant]

Horrific. RIP

 

[missionAvs]

Shit man that's awful. RIP.

Jarry will get the SO tonight, and next time I start him he'll give up 6 on 12 shots

Close... gave up 3 on 9 shots, and got yanked.
