Period ends early after Dylan Holloway takes puck up high and seems to collapse on bench after finishing the shift

[PuckG]

Glad to hear it. Hopefully nothing too serious or scary…

Another argument for making neck guards mandatory. "But it looks dumb" isn't a good enough reason not to NHLPA.

Good to hear he's stable.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

They didn’t call the game when Kane got his wrist torn open or when jiri Fischer and Jay bouwmeester went down. They won’t for this.

I’m against not it though. It was scary

I'm aware but they should have for those too.

This isn't a broken ankle, or a separated shoulder, hell this is not even a concussion, and let's make it VERY clear concussions are nothing to f*** around with.

This looks different

This looks scary

Mandatory neck guards tomorrow. A player died almost one year ago, another doesn't have to for common sense reform.

Not sure what a mesh neck guard is going to do if the injury was caused by blunt force.

Neck guard isn't going to offer any protection to a 90 mph slap shot to the neck

They did for JayBo. The shittiest part of it too, aside from the actual incident of course, was the very next day was the day the league shut down for Covid.

Not sure if you’ve ever worn a neck guard before, but most of them are mesh designed solely to perfect from a cut from a blade. A blunt force won’t be stopped from a neck guard.

Pronger, Bouwmeester, and now Holloway. Glad they all turned out okay for the players, of course. I feel bad for the STL fans to have these pretty traumatic events happening during the course of a game.

 

[SharksCyclops]

Scary scene. It sounds like he is doing okay and breathing normally at the hospital. Wishing him the best.

Jumbo’s hit on Perron too.

 

[jackjohnson]

Scary stuff..
Guys in Edmonton, put away the voodoo dolls. First Broberg and now Holloway

Bowman with the voodoo dolls? This is crazy how both have been injured like this while they were the 2 that were offersheeted. Coincidence??

 

[Dust]

Hope he makes a quick and full recovery.

I don't think neck guards would do much for a blunt force trauma like this tbh.

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Good shit. Get well soon.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

You "mandatory neckguard" people are funny.

 

[bleedgreen]

Seemed definitely more trauma to the area related than anything cardiac which is a positive, hopefully it was just a passing moment of dizziness/weakness and he’s fine. Best thoughts to him and his family.

There’s nothing wrong with the idea of mandatory neck guards.

 

[HabsQC]

Adrenaline is a helluva drug. Crazy how he kept playing for awhile after taking that puck to the neck

 

[Shocker]

I'm a big advocate for neckguards, but in this situation it most likely would have done f*** all.

Hope Holloway is okay.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Game is too fast.

 

[CanadienShark]

Yikes. Looked like nothing, especially considering his play after the fact. I truly hope he's OK.

 

[kingsholygrail]

That IS the exact spot where you would apply the Vulcan neck pinch.

 

[End of Line]

Very glad to hear he’s ok

 

[Czechboy]

Brutal! Great kid and awful luck. Hope he's healthy soon!
